摘要:

文题释义:
网络药理学:基于系统生物学和药理分子学阐释中药对疾病治疗作用的关键靶点及涉及的生物学过程和信号通路,从微观与整体水平上探讨中药与疾病之间的关系。
膝骨关节炎:一种好发于老年人的以膝关节软骨退行性变和骨质增生为基础的疾患,其主要表现为膝关节疼痛肿胀和关节活动度变小。

背景:大量研究发现“乳香-没药”是中药复方治疗膝骨关节炎的常用配伍药对,但其药理机制尚不明确。
目的:利用网络药理学技术探讨“乳香-没药”作为中医临床治疗痹病的常用配伍药对治疗膝骨关节炎的作用靶点及其相关作用机制。
方法:使用TCMSP中药系统药理学数据库与分析平台收集乳香、没药的化学成分,根据药物生物口服利用度≥30%,类药性≥0.18对乳香、没药可能的生物活性成分进行筛选,并通过蛋白质数据库(Uniprot)筛选出各活性成分可能存在的靶点。查询GeneCards、OMIM、TTD、DrugBank数据库挖掘膝骨关节炎相关基因靶点,将两者取交集后获取疾病-药物蛋白靶基因。将获得的关键靶点基因上传至STRING数据库计算分析,筛选出重要的关键基因构建蛋白质间相互作用网络,构建PPI网络图。采用Cytoscape 软件绘制药物-靶点和疾病-靶点可视化网络图,并进一步借助 DAVID在线工具进行GO分析和 KEGG 通路富集分析。
结果与结论:①获得乳香生物活性成分8个,没药生物活性成分45个,同时检测出乳香、没药药物靶点蛋白412个,膝骨关节炎相关基因1 889个,药物与疾病共有靶点105个;②蛋白互作网络发现AKT1、TP53、IL6、TNF、JUN、MAPK1等可能是“乳香-没药”治疗膝骨关节炎的关键靶点;③富集分析确定了66个GO条目,涉及到细胞对缺氧的反应、上皮细胞增殖的负调控、免疫反应、胰岛素刺激的细胞反应、成纤维细胞增殖的正调控等;④KEGG 通路富集分析确定了95条相关信号通路,涉及到炎症、细胞凋亡、细胞衰老等。利用David富集分析显示乳香-没药干预膝骨关节炎的关键靶点主要与炎症反应、细胞凋亡与免疫系统等生物过程有关;⑤结果表明,“乳香-没药”药对治疗膝骨关节炎具有多途径、多靶点作用的特点,主要起到抗炎镇痛的作用,初步揭示了其作用的关键靶点及涉及的生物学过程和信号通路,为今后临床用药组方治疗膝骨关节炎提供新思路。

Abstract: BACKGROUND: “Ruxiang-Moyao”  is a common combination of traditional Chinese medicine in the clinical treatment of knee osteoarthritis. However, the pharmacological mechanism is not yet clear. 
OBJECTIVE: Using network pharmacology technology to explore the therapeutic target of “Ruxiang-Moyao” as a commonly used traditional Chinese medicine for clinical treatment of arthromyodynia in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis and the relevant mechanism. 
METHODS: The chemical constituents of “Ruxiang-Moyao” were collected by TCMSP pharmacology database and analysis platform, and the possible bioactive constituents of frankincense and myrrh were screened according to the biological oral availability ≥ 30% and class drug properties ≥ 0.18. The possible targets of each active constituent were screened out using the protein database (Uniprot). GeneCards, OMIM, TTD and DrugBank databases were consulted to mine knee osteoarthritis-associated gene targets. The disease-drug protein target genes were obtained after the intersection of the above-mentioned screening data. The STRING database calculation and analysis algorithm was used to screen out important key genes to build a protein-protein interaction network, and the key target genes were uploaded to the PPI network graph. Cytoscape software was used to map the drug-target and disease-target visualization network, and DAVID online tool was further used for gene ontology (GO) analysis and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Gnomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis. 
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Eight bioactive constituents of frankincense and 45 bioactive constituents of myrrh were obtained. At the same time, 412 target proteins of “Ruxiang-Moyao,” 1889 genes related to knee osteoarthritis and 105 co-targets of drugs and diseases were detected. The protein-protein interaction network found that AKT1, TP53, IL6, TNF, JUN, and MAPK1 might be the key targets of  “Ruxiang-Moyao” in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis. The GO enrichment analysis identified 66 GO items, which are involved in cell response to hypoxia, negative regulation of epithelial cell proliferation, immune response, insulin-stimulated cell response, and positive regulation of fibroblast proliferation. The enrichment analysis of KEGG pathway identified 95 related signaling pathways, which are involved in inflammation, cell apoptosis and cell senescence. David enrichment analysis showed that the key target of “Ruxiang-Moyao” intervention for knee osteoarthritis was mainly related to several biological processes such as inflammatory response, cell apoptosis and immune system. Overall, “Ruxiang-Moyao” has the characteristics of multi-pathway and multi-target action in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis, and mainly has anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects. The key targets of its action and the involved biological process and signaling pathway have been preliminarily revealed, providing a new idea for the clinical prescription treatment of knee osteoarthritis in the future.
