摘要
Objective:Tanshinone ⅡA,one of the most abundant liposoluble components isolated from the traditional Chinese medicine Salvia miltiorrhiza,exhibits significant biological activities in anti-inflammatory,antibacterial,and antitumor eff ects.This study aims to systematically explore the mechanism of Tanshinone ⅡA through bioinformatics.Methods:We utilized the TCMSP database to retrieve the oral bioavailability(OB)and drug-likeness(DL)of Tanshinone ⅡA.The gene chip numbered GSE85871 was downloaded from the GEO database,and diff erential genes were analyzed using R language to identify potential targets of Tanshinone ⅡA.After obtaining these targets,GO analysis and KEGG pathway analysis were performed using the DAVID 6.8 database.Diseases related to Tanshinone ⅡA were explored through the CTD database.Finally,Cytoscape was employed to construct a visual network of multiple targets,pathways,and diseases associated with Tanshinone ⅡA.Results:Tanshinone ⅡA demonstrated good drug effi cacy with an OB value of 49.89%and a DL value of 0.4.A total of 132 potential targets were identifi ed,primarily exhibiting gene co-expression and physical interaction in the PPI network.These targets were enriched in biological processes and pathways such as ovarian steroidogenesis,cell cycle,and steroid hormone biosynthesis.Tanshinone ⅡA was found to be relevant in the treatment of diseases including breast tumors,hypertension,atherosclerosis,gliomas,vascular system injuries,left ventricular hypertrophy,leukemia,and hearing loss.Conclusion:Utilizing bioinformatics approaches,we systematically analyzed the possible molecular mechanisms of Tanshinone ⅡA,providing potential targets and insights into its pharmacological mechanisms and treatment strategies.
