Abstract:
Objective:To explore the material basis and potential mechanism of Sanhuang Yishen Capsules in the treatment of diabetes through network pharmacology, molecular docking and experimental verification.Methods:The active components and targets of Sanhuang Yishhen Capsules were screened using China Natural product chemical composition database and SymMap database, and the related targets of T2DM were screened by GeneCards database. The "Chinese materia medica-active component-target" network was constructed, and the intersection genes were enriched by GO and KEGG using R language. Key active components were selected for molecular docking verification with potential core targets. 60 rats were divided into normal group, model group, and Sanhuang Yishen Capsules group according to random number table method, with 15 rats in each group. In addition to the normal group, the diabetic rat model was prepared in the other groups, and the corresponding drugs were intragastric in each group for 8 weeks. The levels of fasting blood glucose (FBG), fasting insulin (FINS) and insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR) were measured by radioimmunoassay. Western blotting was used to detect protein expressions of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), epidermal growth factor (EGF), Akt serine/threonine kinase 1 (AKT1), recombinant tumor protein p53 (TP53), and recombinant caspase 3 (CASP3).Results:A total of 160 active components and 298 targets of Sanhuang Yishen Capsules, 2194 targets related to T2DM, and 166 intersection targets were obtained. GO and KEGG analyzed a series of biological reaction processes mainly involved in signal transduction, oxidative stress, apoptosis, etc., and mainly involved in the regulation of P13K/Akt, P53, CASP3 and other targets. The results of molecular docking showed that the main active components obtained by screening had strong binding with the target. Compared with model group, FBG, FINS, HOMA-IR, TP53 and CASP3 in Sanhuang Yishen Capsules group decreased ( P<0.05), EGFR, EGF and Akt1 proteins increased ( P<0.05). Conclusion:The mechanism of Sanhuang Yishen Capsules for the treatment of may be related to the regulation of EGF/EGFR/P13K/Akt signaling pathway, TP53 signaling pathway, CASP3 signaling pathway, PPARG signaling pathway, ESR1 signaling pathway, PTGS2 signaling pathway, CAT signaling pathway and CTNNB1 signaling pathway.
