Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To investigate the protective effects and mechanism of ziyuglycoside Ⅰ on acute lung injury in sepsis rats based on network pharmacology， and conduct experimental verification. METHODS The network pharmacology was used to predict the potential target of ziyuglycoside Ⅰ in the treatment of acute lung injury following sepsis. The rat model of sepsis was reproduced by cecum ligation and puncture for experimental verification. Totally 192 SD rats were randomly divided into the sham operation group （Sham group）， sepsis group （Sep group）， conventional therapy group （CT group） and ziyuglycoside Ⅰ group （Zg Ⅰ group）， respectively. Sham group and Sep group were given sterile normal saline， and CT group and ZgⅠ group were given relevant volume of Ringer’s solution and ziyuglycoside Ⅰ. The arterial blood gas， serum inflammatory factors， lung wet/dry mass ratio， pathological changes of lung tissue， pulmonary vascular permeability， the expressions of pulmonary vein tight junction protein 1 （ZO-1） and vascular endothelial cadherin （VE-cadherin） protein and 72-hour survival were observed in each group. RESULTS Results of network pharmacology showed that there were 47 potential targets of ziyuglycoside Ⅰ in the treatment of sepsis. The results of gene ontology function enrichment analysis and Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes pathway enrichment analysis showed that the mechanism could 598486924@qq.com be correlated with biological processes such as positive regulation of reactive oxygen species metabolism， wound healing， regulation of endothelial cell proliferation， cell activation， blood vessel development， response to oxidative stress， etc.， and with signaling pathway such as apoptosis， tight junction， HIF-1 signaling pathway， etc. The results of experimental verification showed that compared with Sham group， pH value and the level of partial arterial oxygen pressure were decreased significantly in Sep group （P＜0.05）， while the level of partial pressure of carbon dioxide， serum levels of tumor necrosis factor α， interleukin 6 were increased significantly （P＜0.05）； the ratio of lung wet/dry mass was increased significantly （P＜0.05）； the protein expressions of ZO-1 and VE-cadherin were decreased significantly （P＜0.05）； 72 h survival rate decreased，the survival time was significantly shortened （P＜0.05）； the results of pathological observation of lung tissue showed that the rats’ alveoli were extensively ruptured， the alveolar wall was thickened and accompanied with edema， and there was obvious inflammatory cell infiltration； the results of pulmonary vascular permeability observation showed that the lung surface of rats was dark， with a large amount of Evans blue exudation， and the left lower lung was obviously dark blue. Compared with Sep group， the levels of above indexes almost were reversed significantly in CT group and ZgⅠ group （P＜0.05）； the lung histopathology and pulmonary vascular permeability were significantly improved， and the recovery degree of ZgⅠ group was greater than that of CT group， which was close to the results of Sham group. CONCLUSIONS Ziyuglycoside Ⅰ can significantly reduce inflammatory reaction and acute lung injury in septic rats， which is related to vascular function and tight junction signal pathway.
