摘要:


文题释义:
肢体淋巴水肿:根据病理生理变化,一般可分为组织水肿、炎症反应、脂质沉积和组织纤维化4个阶段。中药治疗肢体淋巴水肿可根据患者病理变化的不同阶段辨证施治,个体定制化用药,具有良好的临床疗效和安全性。
网络药理学:是一种基于系统生物学和多组学技术的药物研究方法,旨在探究药物与生物系统之间的复杂网络关系。通过构建药物-靶点-疾病网络,分析药物对多靶点、多途径的综合作用,量化药物与靶点的相互作用强度和网络关联度。

背景:肢体淋巴水肿尚缺乏现代医学特效疗法,现有药物疗效有限。中医药在消肿领域积淀深厚,古籍蕴藏丰富方剂经验,但各学派观点差异导致组方分散,作用机制未明。尤其缺乏对古籍所载中药组方治疗肢体淋巴水肿规律的系统梳理。
目的:基于古今医案云平台和Cytoscape分析中医典籍治疗肢体淋巴水肿的用药规律,并通过网络药理学与分子对接探讨核心药物的作用机制。
方法:收集“博览医书”数据库中截至2024-05-01收录的能治疗肢体淋巴水肿的消肿中药组方,筛选符合标准的核心药物。通过TCMSP数据库获取核心药物的成分与靶点,联合GeneCards、TTD、OMIM数据库筛选疾病靶点;构建药物-成分-靶点网络和蛋白互作网络,利用Metascape进行基因本体/京都基因与基因组百科全书富集分析,并通过分子对接验证。 
结果与结论:最终纳入223首方剂(含355味中药),经配伍与复杂网络分析确定核心药物组合:陈皮-茯苓-槟榔-白术-木香。网络药理学分析显示核心靶点(如TP53、SRC、AKT1)富集于磷脂酰肌醇3激酶-蛋白激酶B、丝裂原活化蛋白激酶、缺氧诱导因子1及癌症相关等通路。分子对接验证了3′,5,7-三羟基-4-甲氧基黄酮、啤酒甾醇与SRC、AKT1的强结合活性。研究表明,该核心药物组合可能通过调控SRC、AKT1及上述通路治疗肢体淋巴水肿。

Abstract: BACKGROUND: Limb lymphedema lacks a specific treatment in modern medicine, and the efficacy of existing drugs is limited. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has a profound accumulation in the treatment of edema, and ancient texts contain a wealth of prescription experience. However, the differences in the views of various schools of thought have led to the dispersal of formulas, and their mechanisms of action are not yet understood. In particular, there is a lack of systematic investigation of the treatment pattern of TCM formulas in ancient books. 
OBJECTIVE: Based on the cloud platform of ancient and modern medical cases and CytoScape, to analyze the medication patterns of Chinese medical texts for the treatment of limb lymphedema, and to explore the mechanism of action of core drugs through network pharmacology and molecular docking. 
METHODS: We collected the edema-reducing TCM formulas for the treatment of limb lymphedema in the database of “imedbooks” as of May 1, 2024, and screened the core drugs that met the criteria. The components and targets of the core drugs were obtained by TCMSP, and the disease targets were screened by GeneCards, TTD, and OMIM. The drug-component-target network and protein-protein interactions network were constructed, and the Gene Ontology/Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes enrichment analysis was performed by Metascape and verified by molecular docking.  
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Finally, 223 formulas (containing 355 Chinese herbal medicines) were included, and the core drug combination was identified by pairing and complex network analysis: dried tangerine peel -Poria cocos -Betel nut -Atractylodis Macrocephalae -Mucuna pruriens. Network pharmacological analysis showed that the core targets (e.g., tumor protein 53, non-receptor tyrosine kinase, protein kinase B1) were enriched in the pathways of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase-protein kinase B, mitogen-activated protein kinase, hypoxia-inducible factor 1, and cancer-related pathways. Molecular docking verified the strong binding activity of 3′,5,7-trihydroxy-4-methoxyflavone and brewer’s sterol with non-receptor tyrosine kinase and protein kinase B1. The study suggests that this core combination may treat limb lymphedema by modulating non-receptor tyrosine kinase, protein kinase B1 and the above pathways.
