Modular-Based Synergetic Mechanisms of Jasminoidin and Ursodeoxycholic Acid in Cerebral Ischemia Therapy.

ABSTRACT: Objectives: Jasminoidin (JA) and ursodeoxycholic acid (UA) have been shown to exert synergistic effects on cerebral ischemia (CI) therapy, but the underlying mechanisms remain to be elucidated. Objective: To elucidate the synergistic mechanisms involved in the combined use of JA and UA (JU) for CI therapy using a driver-induced modular screening (DiMS) strategy. Methods: Network proximity and topology-based approaches were used to identify synergistic modules and driver genes from an anti-ischemic microarray dataset (ArrayExpress, E-TABM-662). A middle cerebral artery occlusion/reperfusion (MCAO/R) model was established in 30 Sprague Dawley rats, divided into sham, vehicle, JA (25 mg/mL), UA (7 mg/mL), and JU (JA:UA = 1:1) groups. After 90 minutes of ischemia, infarct volume
