Exploring the action mechanism of Oxalis corniculata L. decoction in treating osteoarthritis utilizing liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry technology combined with network pharmacology.

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to identify the chemical constituents of Oxalis corniculata L. decoction. Furthermore, the mechanism of action of O corniculata L. decoction in treating osteoarthritis (OA) was investigated utilizing network pharmacology. The chemical composition of the O corniculata L. decoction was analyzed by employing UHPLC-Q-Exactive-MS/MS. Subsequently, a "compound-target-pathway" network was established through network pharmacology, offering a novel approach to identify the molecular mechanism underlying the treatment of OA with O corniculata L. decoction. Ultimately, the molecular docking technique was employed to validate the binding ability of the active ingredients with therapeutic targets. A total of 539 compounds were identified in O corniculata L. decoction. Topological analysis of the protein-protein interaction network indicated that compounds, including guanosine, naringenin-7-O-beta-D-glucuronide, noroxyhydrastinine, and chrysophanol 8-O-glucoside, have therapeutic potential for OA. In addition, GAPDH, TNF, TP53, epidermal growth factor receptor, and ESR1 may be key targets for the treatment of OA, primarily involving lipid and atherosclerosis, cellular senescence, IL-17 signaling pathway, and epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor resistance signaling pathways. This method preliminarily identified the chemical composition of O corniculata L. decoction and predicted the active ingredients, potential targets, and signaling pathways of O corniculata L. decoction in treating OA. The findings of this research revealed the potential function of O corniculata L. decoction in anti-inflammation, alongside its ability to promote osteoblast proliferation and differentiation, providing new ideas for the processing of O corniculata L. herbs and related drug development.

Project description:BackgroundDanshen Decoction comprises Salvia miltiorrhiza, Santalum album, and Amomum villosum. It can promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, and is commonly used in the treatment of gastric and duodenal ulcers, coronary heart disease, angina pectoris, etc. This research is based on network pharmacology and is experimentally verified to explore the potential mechanism of Danshen Decoction in the treatment of ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM).MethodsThe effective components and targets of Danshen Decoction were firstly extracted from Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology (TCMSP) Database and Analysis Platform, the drug-component-target-disease network was then constructed, the protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was constructed, the Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment analysis was carried out, and the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway was analyzed in order to find the potential active components and therapeutic mechanisms. Finally, the in vitro hypoxia/reoxygenation model in H9c2 cells was established to verify the predicted active components and therapeutic mechanisms.ResultsThe results showed that Danshen Decoction has 67 potential active components and 109 therapeutic targets in treating ICM. These targets were rich in a variety of gene functions and different signaling pathways; the main gene targets include TP53, c-Jun, and Akt1. Go enrichment analysis showed that response to drug, membrane raft, and G protein-coupled amine receiver activity rank first in each process, and the main signaling pathways include PI3K-Akt signaling pathway. Through molecular docking and experimental verification of the major active components and core therapeutic targets, the active components of Danshen Decoction demonstrated an ability to reduce the cell damage caused by hypoxia/reoxygenation in H9c2 cells by regulating the core therapeutic target including Akt1, c-Jun, and TP53.ConclusionDanshen Decoction has the effect of treating ICM in multiple ways, which is consistent with the results of network pharmacology. This laid a foundation for further study in exploring the active principles and pharmacological mechanism of Danshen Decoction.

Project description:In this study, network pharmacology and molecular docking technology were used to explore the molecular mechanisms of the Duhuo Jisheng decoction in the treatment of osteoarthritis (OA). The chemical composition of the prescriptions was obtained from the traditional Chinese medicine systems pharmacology database and analysis platform (TCMSP) database and the retrieved literature. Targets for the active ingredients were obtained using TCMSP and the Swiss Target Prediction Database. Disease targets were obtained from GeneCards and DisGeNET databases. The online tool, Venny, was used to obtain common targets for drugs and diseases. Protein-protein interactions (PPI) between common targets were analyzed using the search tool for the retrieval of interacting genes/proteins (STRING) database. Common targets were analyzed for gene ontology (GO) and Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment using the database for annotation, visualization and integrated discovery (DAVID) database. Molecular docking of the first 10 targets and first 10 components was verified using AutoDock Tools software, and the docking diagram was visualized using PyMOL software. After screening, 210 chemical components of the Duhuo Jisheng decoction (DHJSD) were identified. The 253 common targets of drugs and diseases were combined by eliminating repeat values. Based on PPI network analysis, the top ten targets were SRC, STAT3, MAPK3, MAPK1, RELA, PIK3R1, HSP90AA1, TP53, EP300, and AKT1. KEGG analysis showed that DHJSD could regulate the HIF-1, PI3K-Akt, and JAK-STAT signaling pathways. The biological processes involved include inflammatory reactions, the negative regulation of apoptosis, and the positive regulation of cell proliferation. Molecular docking results showed that all targets, except the RELA protein, showed good binding to the compounds, indicating that the 10 components might exert therapeutic effects by binding to the above targets. DHJSD can treat OA by regulating the HIF-1, PI3K-Akt, and JAK-STAT signaling pathways. The proteins involved were SRC, STAT3, MAPK3, MAPK1, and PIK3R1. In this study, network pharmacology was used to predict the mechanism of DHJSD in OA treatment, which was verified by molecular docking to provide experimental research ideas and scientific basis for OA treatment.
