Exploring the potential mechanism and molecular targets of Taohong Siwu Decoction against deep vein thrombosis based on network pharmacology and analysis docking.
Medicine (Baltimore) 2024 January 13
This study aims to investigate the mechanism of Taohong Siwu Decoction (THSWD) against deep vein thrombosis (DVT) using network pharmacology and molecular docking technology. We used the Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology database and reviewed literature to identify the main chemical components of THSWD. To find targets for DVT, we consulted GeneCards, Therapeutic Target Database, and PharmGKB databases. We used Cytoscape 3.8.2 software to construct herb-disease-gene-target networks. Additionally, we integrated drug targets and disease targets on the STRING platform to create a protein-protein interaction network. Then, we conducted Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes and gene ontology analysis. Finally, We employed the molecular docking method to validate our findings. We identified 56 potential targets associated with DVT and found 61 effective components. beta-sitosterol, quercetin, and kaempferol were the most prominent among these components. Our analysis of the protein-protein interaction network revealed that IL6, L1B, and AKT1 had the highest degree of association. Gene ontology analysis showed that THSWD treatment for DVT may involve response to inorganic substances, negative regulation of cell differentiation, plasma membrane protein complex, positive regulation of phosphorylation, and signaling receptor regulator activity. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes analysis indicated that lipid and atherosclerosis, pathways in cancer, as well as the PI3K-Akt pathway are the main signal pathways involved. Molecular docking results demonstrated strong binding affinity between beta-sitosterol, quercetin, kaempferol, and AKT1 proteins as well as IL1B and IL6 proteins. The main targets for THSWD treatment of DVT may include AKT1, IL1B, and IL6. Beta-sitosterol, quercetin, and kaempferol may be the active ingredients responsible for producing this effect. These compounds may slow down the progression of DVT by regulating the inflammatory response through the PI3K/Akt pathway.
