Abstract:
Objective To study the mechanism of Chaihu Guizhi Decoction(CGD)in the treatment of influenza and staphylococcus aureus co-infection.Methods The co-infection model of influenza and staphylococcus aureus was established and CGD was used to intervene.The chemical components of CGD were qualitatively analyzed by UPLC-Q-Exactive/MS technology.The potential action targets of chemical components in CGD and the related targets of influenza Staphylococcus aureus co-infection were mined by network pharmacology method.The"component target disease"network was constructed.Core targets were selected according to degree ranking.Core action pathways were enriched by KEGG analysis and GO annotation analysis.The core target was verified by RT-qPCR,and the interaction between the core component and the key target was verified by molecular docking.Results CGD could significantly improve the decrease of body weight and thymus index(P<0.05)caused by co-infection.The lung index(P<0.05),relative amount of MmRNA expression(P<0.05)and bacterial load(P<0.05)were decreased,and the survival rate was improved.51 chemical constituents were identified from CGD.Through network pharmacological analysis,107 related targets corresponding to CGD treatment of bacterial pneumonia secondary to influenza were excavated.TNF,AKT1,ALB,VEGFA,MAPK3,PTGS2,STAT3,EGFR and other targets with strong correlation,mainly involved Fc epsilon RI signal pathway,GnRH signal pathway,NF-κB signal path,etc.Molecular docking study showed that the main active component of CGD,including oroxyloside,baicalein and wogonin have strong affinity with TNF,PTGS2 and EGFR targets.Compared with co-infection model group,in CGD group TNF-α、EGFR and PTGS2 increased significantly(P<0.05).Conclusion The main active ingredient of CGD is oroxyloside,baicalein and wogonin.TNF-α,PTGS2,EGFR and other targets to played a role in the treatment of influenza staphylococcus aureus co-infection.
