基于网络药理学和实验验证探究经典药对“瓜蒌-薤白”治疗痰瘀互结心血管疾病的作用机制

The mechanism of "Trichosanthis Fructus-Allii Macrostemonis Bulbus" on phlegm and blood stasis syndrome-related cardiovascular diseases based on network pharmacology and experimental verification

  • 摘要: “瓜蒌-薤白”药对(GX) 应用历史悠久, 为历代医家长期遣方用药的经验总结, 但其治疗痰瘀互结心血管疾病的作用机制尚未完全阐明。本研究采用网络药理学分析与动物实验验证相整合的研究策略, 探究经典药对GX治疗痰瘀互结心血管疾病的分子作用机制。动物实验过程均遵循安徽中医药大学实验动物伦理委员会的规定(批准号: AHUCM-rats-2021070)。基于前期HPLC-Q-TOF-MS分析结合数据库, 获取69个GX药对的化学成分及163个GX治疗痰瘀互结心血管疾病的靶点, 筛选出丝氨酸/苏氨酸蛋白激酶1 (Akt1)、肿瘤坏死因子(TNF)、白介素6 (IL6)、血管内皮生长因子A (VEGFA)、细胞肿瘤抗原p53 (Tp53) 等关键靶点, 富集分析表明GX治疗痰瘀互结心血管疾病的靶点主要参与PI3K/Akt信号通路、鞘脂代谢、血小板激活、缺氧诱导因子-1 (HIF-1)、ras相关蛋白1 (rap1) 等信号通路, 分子对接分析显示芹菜素、葫芦素D、亚麻酸、山柰酚等6个关键化学成分与Akt1、TNF、IL6、VEGFA和Tp53均具有潜在的结合能力。在动物实验验证中, 与痰瘀互结证大鼠模型相比, GX能显著降低模型大鼠的痰瘀互结证候积分, 改善血液流变学、血脂及血管内皮结构紊乱, 显著降低血清内皮素-1 (ET-1) 水平, 升高血清一氧化氮(NO) 和一氧化氮合成酶(eNOS) 水平, 恢复主动脉血管内皮功能; 并能显著减少主动脉中细胞间黏附分子-1 (ICAM-1) 及血管细胞黏附分子-1 (VCAM-1) 表达, 改善主动脉血管内皮损伤; Western blot实验显示GX显著降低主动脉磷脂酰肌醇3-激酶(PI3K) 及Akt蛋白磷酸化水平。本研究揭示了GX治疗痰瘀互结心血管疾病的多成分、多靶点、多通路的作用特征, 并阐明GX逆转痰瘀互结大鼠模型病理变化, 改善血管内皮功能及炎性损伤, 可能与其抑制PI3K/Akt信号通路有关。

     

    Abstract: This study aimed to investigate the mechanism of "Trichosanthis Fructus-Allii Macrostemonis Bulbus" (GX) on phlegm and blood stasis syndrome (PBSS) rats combining the methods of network pharmacology and experimental verification. Animal experiment ethical requirements were approved by the Ethical Committee Experimental Animal Center of Anhui University of Chinese Medicine (grant number: AHUCM-rats-2021070). Based on the HPLC-Q-TOF-MS analysis and database, 69 chemical constituents of GX and 163 targets of GX for the treatment of phlegm and blood stasis-related cardiovascular diseases were obtained. Then, key targets such as serine/threonine kinase 1 (Akt1), tumor necrosis factor (TNF), interleukin 6 (IL6), vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA), cellular tumor antigen p53 (Tp53) were screened. Pathway analysis showed that the targets of GX in the treatment of phlegm and blood stasis-relate cardiovascular diseases were mainly involved in PI3K/Akt signaling pathway, sphingolipid metabolism, platelet activation, hypoxia inducible factor-1 (HIF-1), ras-proximate-1 (rap1) and other signaling pathways. In addition, molecular docking analysis showed that apigenin, cucurbitacin D, linolenic acid and kaempferol and other key components had potential binding ability with Akt1, TNF, IL6, VEGFA and Tp53. In the animal experiments, compared to the phlegm and blood stasis syndrome group, GX could significantly improve the traditional Chinese medicine syndrome score, blood lipid, vascular endothelial structure disorders and reduce serum endothelin-1 (ET-1) level, increase serum nitric oxide (NO) and endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) levels, which could restore aortic endothelial function. In addition, the expression of intercellular cell adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) in aorta could be significantly reduced, which could improve the vascular endothelial injury of aorta. Western blot revealed that GX could significantly decrease the phosphorylation levels of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) and Akt in aorta. This study revealed the mechanism of GX in treatment of phlegm and blood stasis-relate cardiovascular diseases is consistent with the characteristics of multiple ingredients, multiple targets and multiple pathways. In addition, this study also clarified that the reversal of pathological of phlegm and blood stasis syndrome rats may be related to GX inhibiting PI3K/Akt signaling pathway, which could improve vascular inflammation and vascular endothelial function injury.
