Abstract:
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the potential pharmacological mechanism of the seed of Draba nemorosa, and to provide reference for further development, utilization and clinical application. METHODS: Effective components and related target proteins of D. nemorosa were screened and identified by using TCMSP and STRING database. Cytoscape 3.7.0 software was used to construct a visual network of effective components and target proteins for the seed of D. nemorosa, and the network topology analysis was performed. The targeting protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was constructed and analyzed by STRING database and Cytoscape 3.7.0 software. KEGG pathway enrichment of target proteins was analyzed by DAVID bioinformatics resource database. RESULTS: A total of 9 effective components were screened from the seed of D. nemorosa, including quercetin, kaempferol, β-sitosterol, etc. Totally 174 target proteins were obtained, mainly including PTGS2, NCOA2, PGR, etc. Among them, JUN and MAPK1 were core proteins in PPI network. KEGG enrichment pathway included PI3K/Akt signaling pathway, TNF-α signaling pathway, HIF-1 signaling pathway, Toll-like receptor signaling pathway and thyroid hormone signal pathway, etc. CONCLUSIONS: Effective components from the seed of D. nemorosa such as quercetin, kaempferol and β-sitosterol may act on PTGS2, JUN and MAPK1 target proteins through PI3K-Akt signaling pathway and TNF-α signaling pathway, thus exert the effects of purging lung, relieving asthma, promoting edema and reducing edema.
