Methods: Network pharmacology was employed to identify active components and key targets of SHY against ALI. Protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks were constructed, followed by Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analyses to elucidate biological processes and signaling pathways. ALI was induced in wild-type (WT) mice using the Lieber-DeCarli ethanol liquid diet (5% ethanol, vol/vol). Serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and interleukin-11 (IL-11) levels, along with hepatic IL-11 and phosphorylated STAT3 (p-STAT3) protein expression, were measured to validate SHY’s hepatoprotective effects. Results: Fifteen bioactive components and 219 potential targets of SHY were identified from the TCMSP database, with 106 overlapping targets linked to ALI. PPI network analysis revealed TNF, IL6, and AKT1 as core targets. GO/KEGG enrichment highlighted SHY’s regulation of oxidative stress and inflammation via IL-17 and TNF signaling pathways. Animal experiments demonstrated that SHY significantly reduced serum ALT and IL-11 levels (P < 0.01) and suppressed hepatic p-STAT3 phosphorylation. Western blot confirmed a 1.8-fold downregulation of IL-11 expression in SHY-treated mice. Conclusion: This study is the first to demonstrate that SHY ameliorates ALI by modulating the IL-11R/JAK/STAT axis, providing molecular evidence for the “treating liver diseases through intestinal regulation” theory.展开更多
