Jian Pi Hua Tan Fang Reverses Trastuzumab Resistance of HER2-Positive Gastric Cancer Through PI3K/AKT/mTOR Pathway: Integrating Network Pharmacology, Molecular Docking and Experimental Validation.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Currently, trastuzumab resistance significantly impacts the treatment outcome for individuals with HER2-positive gastric cancer. In clinical practice, Jian Pi Hua Tan Fang (JPHTF) has been shown to be effective in preventing recurrences and metastases caused by gastric cancer. Yet, the treatment process remains unknown. We aim to evaluate the potential pharmacological mechanism of JPHTF in interfering with resistance to trastuzumab in HER2-positive gastric cancer (GC).

Methods

In this study, network pharmacology and molecular docking techniques were used to forecast the potential active ingredients, pathways, and targets of JPHTF in overcoming trastuzumab resistance in HER2-positive GC. Then, in vitro models of NCI-N87/TR was developed, and JPHTF-containing serum
