摘要:


文题释义:

 “龟板-鹿角”药对:是龟鹿二仙胶、左归丸等经典补肾方剂发挥治疗作用的核心,具有补肾强骨之功,常用于治疗骨质疏松症。

网络药理学:融合多向药理学与系统生物学思维,通过对生物系统分子的网络构建分析,探索药物的成分-靶点-通路-疾病之间的整体作用关系,预测药物在体内的作用机制。

背景:“龟板-鹿角”药对是治疗骨质疏松症的经典中药配伍方式,临床被广泛应用,但其药理学分子作用机制目前尚不明确。

目的基于网络药理学方法,探讨经典补肾中药药对“龟板-鹿角”治疗骨质疏松症的分子作用机制。

方法BATMAN-TCMTCM-MESH、化学专业数据库及手工检索文献获取“龟板-鹿角”药对的活性成分及治疗作用靶点。从毒理组学比较数据库、人类基因数据库获取药物治疗骨质疏松症作用靶点,与“龟板-鹿角”作用靶点取交集确定治疗作用靶标基因。通过STRING网站构建靶标基因间蛋白互作网络关系;采用Cytoscape软件构建药对-活性成分-靶标基因网络、核心靶标基因互作网络;借助DAVIDKOBAS等在线工具对靶标基因进行基因本体论及通路富集分析,筛选具有统计学差异的过程或通路(P < 0.05);通过SwissDock进行核心基因与活性成分分子对接验证。

结果与结论:①检索筛选得到“龟板-鹿角”药对含天冬氨酸、苯丙氨酸等21个有效活性成分,对应183个骨质疏松症治疗靶标基因,药对、活性成分、靶标基因形成紧密联系的互作网络关系;②筛选出INS、ALB、TNF等10个核心基因,靶标基因主要富集于衰老、药物反应等66个基因本体论过程,缺氧诱导因子1、卵巢类固醇生成等27个信号通路;③靶标基因INS与丙氨酸、雄激素,ALB与丙氨酸等获得了较高的分子对接评分,亲和力较好;④结果表明,“龟板-鹿角”药对的活性成分及其治疗骨质疏松症作用靶标基因存在复杂网络关系,靶标基因富集于多个联系密切且复杂的信号通路,涉及细胞增殖分化凋亡、炎症反应、性激素调控等多层次以调节骨修复重建的动态平衡,值得继续深入研究发展。

Abstract:

BACKGROUND: The tortoise plastron-deer horn couplet medicine has been widely used as a classic drug matching formula for treatment of osteoporosis, but the pharmacology molecular mechanism remains unclear.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the pharmacological molecular mechanism of tortoise plastron-deer horn couplet medicine for treatment of osteoporosis.

METHODS: The active compounds and targets of tortoise plastron-deer horn couplet medicine were obtained by using BATMAN-TCM, TCM-MESH and Chemistry Databases, as well as manual literature retrieval. The disease targets corresponding to osteoporosis were obtained by using Comparative Toxicogenomics Database and GeneCards databases. The protein-protein interaction network was constructed by STRING online database, analyzed and showed by the Cytoscape software. Gene ontology analysis of the targets was conducted by DAVID online tools. Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis was conducted by KOBAS. The enrichment results were obtained with a significant difference (P < 0.05). SwissDock was used for molecular docking verification of hub targets and active compounds.

RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: A total of 21 active ingredients (including aspartic acid and phenylalanine) and 183 targets of tortoise plastron-deer horn couplet medicine for treatment of osteoporosis were obtained. There was a close interaction among herb pairs, active compounds and targets. Ten hub targets, such as INS, ALB and TNF, were sorted. Hub targets were mainly enriched in 66 gene ontology processes, such as aging and drug reaction. KEGG analysis showed 27 enrichment pathways of the targets with significant difference. Molecular docking results showed that HUB gene INS and ALB could be effectively combined with their corresponding active compounds (INS: alanine, androgens; ALB: alanine). These findings preliminarily validate the major compounds, targets and pathways of tortoise plastron-deer horn couplet medicine for treatment of osteoporosis. The medicine-compounds-targets network is complicated. The mechanism may happen through multiple closed pathways including cell differentiation, inflammatory response and sex hormone regulation as well as regulating dynamic balance of bone repair and remodeling. It is worth further investigating for the mechanism of Chinese medicine treating diseases.
