Abstract:
Objective To explore the effects and mechanism of Jianpi Shuyi Decoction in improving pancreatic fibrosis in chronic pancreatitis(CP)based on network pharmacology and animal experiments.Methods TCMSP was used to screen the active components and targets of Jianpi Shuyi Decoction.GeneCards was used to obtain the disease targets of pancreatic fibrosis,and the intersection of drug and disease targets was used to construct the protein interaction network and the drug-component-target network,and the core target genes were screened out.GO and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis was performed on the intersecting targets.Caerulein was used to induce CP mouse model,and Jianpi Shuyi Decoction was given for gavage.HE and Sirius red staining were used to observe pancreatic tissue inflammation and collagen deposition,respectively.RT-qPCR was used to observe the mRNA expression levels of Acta2,COL1A1,PI3K and Akt1 in pancreatic tissue.Immunohistochemistry staining was used to observe the protein expression levels of α-SMA,COL-1,p-PI3K and p-Akt in pancreatic tissues.Results A total of 181 active components were screened from Jianpi Shuyi Decoction,corresponding to 284 targets,with 240 targets overlapping between drugs and disease and the core targets were PTGS2,HSP90AA1,etc.193 signaling pathways were obtained from KEGG pathway enrichment analysis,primarily involving lipids and atherosclerosis,chemical carcinogenic-receptor activation,PI3K-Akt signaling pathway and others.The results of animal experiments showed that,compared with the normal group,the model group showed a large number of inflammatory cell infiltration and collagen deposition in pancreatic tissue,the mRNA expression of Acta2,COL1A1,PI3K and Akt1 in pancreatic tissue significantly increased(P<0.01),and the protein expression of α-SMA,COL-1,p-PI3K,p-Akt significantly increased(P<0.01);Jianpi Shuyi Decoction significantly reduced the inflammation and collagen deposition in pancreas of mice,reduced the mRNA expression of Acta2,COL1A1,PI3K and Akt1(P<0.05),and attenuated the protein expression of α-SMA,COL-1,p-PI3K and p-Akt in pancreatic tissue(P<0.05).Conclusion Jianpi Shuyi Decoction may exert a therapeutic effect on CP pancreatic fibrosis by regulating the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway,attenuating inflammation and collagen deposition in the pancreas,and reducing the levels of α-SMA and COL-1.
