Study on The Effect Mechanism of “Common Treatment for Different Diseases” of Dachaihu Decoction on Prediabetes and Acute Hemorrhagic Stroke Based on Network Pharmacology

Abstract

Background: In this study, network pharmacology method was used to systematically predict and analyze the mechanism of "Common treatment for different diseases" effect of Dachaihu Decoction(DCHD) in the treatment of Prediabetes(PD) and Acute hemorrhagic stroke(AHS).Methods: TCMsp (Traditional Chinese Medicine systems pharmacology database and analysis platform) database was used to collect all the candidate active components related to 8 kinds of traditional Chinese medicine of DCHD, and UniProt database was used to obtain the drug action target and construct the "traditional Chinese medicine -Compound -target" action network; Genecards, OMIM(Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man), DisGeNET, CTD(Comparative Toxicogenomics Database) and TTD（Therapeutic Target Database）databases were used to obtain the related genes of PD and AHS respectively, and the interaction analysis of Venn with potential active components was carried out to obtain the common target of DCHD in the treatment of the two diseases.Using STRING 11.0 and Cytoscape3.72 to analyze protein-protein interaction of common targets and screen key common targets. BioGPS was used to obtain the distribution information in organs and tissues, and the relationship between the molecules and the key functional molecules were described. Bioconductor (R) was used to analyze the gene ontology (go) enrichment and the pathway analysis of the Kyoto Encyclopedia of genes and genomes (KEGG), so as to systematically predict the mechanism of "Common treatment for different diseases" of DCHD for PD and AHS.Results: with OB ≥ 30% and DL ≥ 0.18 as the screening criteria, 133 active compounds were screened out and 1034 drug targets were obtained; There are 3878 PD gene targets, 2674 AHS gene targets, 129 drug disease common targets, and 10 key targets whose median value is greater than 18;The key common targets displayed by biogps are mainly distributed in CD33+_ Myeloid.2(degree = 4)，Prostate.2(degree = 3)，CD56+_ NKCells.1(degree = 3)，Lung.2(degree = 3)，CD56+_ Nkcells. 2 (degree = 2);2281 biological processes, 65 cell components and 142 molecular functions were obtained by GO functional enrichment analysis;161 signal pathways were obtained by KEGG enrichment analysis, and the ones with higher proportion were AGE-RAGE signaling pathway in diabetic complications,PI3K-Akt signaling pathway,TNF signaling pathway,IL-17 signaling pathway,MAPK signaling pathway,HIF-1 signaling pathway,Relaxin signaling pathwa,C-type lectin receptor signaling pathway,which is mainly related to oxidative stress, glycolipid metabolism, immune inflammatory response, and neuroendocrine.Conclusion: DCHD can achieve the effect of "Common treatment for different diseases" by acting on the common receptor of PD and AHS through multi-component, multi-target and multi-channel, providing reference for further experimental verification, potential pharmacological mechanism and clinical application.
