Abstract:
Objective:To explore the material basis and molecular mechanism of Liu-He-Dan (LHD) in treating acute pancreatitis (AP).Methods:Active chemical components of LHD, their corresponding targets and related AP pathogenic genes were searched and selected in the Encyclopedia of Traditional Chinese Medicine (ETCM) and disease information related databases (OMIM, DisGeNET, HPO, and NCBI), respectively. The protein-protein interaction (PPI) was analyzed through the STRING database. Enrichment analysis on those targets was performed by using CPBD and STRING databases to examine the function and pathway involved in the treatment of AP by active chemical components of LHD. Finally, " Chinese medicinal materials-active chemical components-targets-pathways" network was constructed by Cytoscape 3.6.0.Results:Network analysis showed that a total of 111 active chemical components of LHD were correlated with 39 targets of AP. The gene ontology functional enrichment analysis of 39 targets by CPBD and STRING databases obtained 575 enrichment results of biological process, 49 results of molecular function and 26 results of cellular components; Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis obtained 46 enrichment results involved in pancreatic secretion, bile secretion, RRAR signaling pathway, arachidonic acid metabolism and calcium signaling.Conclusions:The molecular mechanism of LHD in the treatment of AP by multiple components, multiple targets and multi-signaling pathways was preliminarily determined, which provides a basis for further analysis on active chemical components of LHD and molecular function.
