But little is known about the potential mechanism. This study aims to elucidate the effective components and analgesic mechanism based on network pharmacology. Methods: TCMSP was screened to collect the possible active ingredients and their CAS and SMILES was searched in Pubchem and further be used for reverse molecular docking in Swiss Target Prediction database to obtain potential targets. Pain-related molecules were obtained from GeenCards database, and the predicted targets of Paeonia Lactiflora for pain treatment were selected by Wayne diagram. For mechanism analysis, the protein-protein interactions were constructed by String, the GO analysis and KEGG analysis were conducted in DAVID. Results: Through GO analysis and KEGG analysis, we found that the pain related signaling pathways mainly involved in serotonergic synapse, calcium signaling pathway, inflammatory mediator TRP channels. Using network-based systems biology and molecular docking analyses, we predicted that 11 active ingredients in Paeonia Lactiflora has the analgesic effects with 97 potential targets. PRKCA, CASP3, ALOX15, SLC6A4, PRKCG, ALOX5, PRKCB, ALOX12, EGFR, ADRB2, RYR3, RYR1, NOS2, PTAFR, PRKCQ, and PRKCD were involved in the analgesic effects of Paeonia Lactiflora. Conclusion: Paeonia Lactiflora may alleviate pain through inflammatory mediator regulation of TRP channels, Ca2+ signaling pathway and 5-HT receptor. PRKCA, PRKCB, PRKCD,PRKCQ, and PRKCG may be new targets for pain treatment.展开更多

文摘Objective:To explore the mechanism of paeoniflorin(PF)on osteoarthritis(OA)synovial inflammation from network pharmacology to experimental pharmacology.Methods:Targets of OA were constructed by detecting the database of network database platforms(Therapeutic Target database,Drug Bank and Gene Cards),and the targets of PF were constructed by Pub Chem and Herbal Ingredients'Targets database.Gene Ontology(GO)and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG)analysis of these co-targeted genes were conducted via Database for Annotation,Visualization,and Integrated Discovery(DAVID)database,and protein-protein interaction(PPI)networks were conducted via the search tool for the retrieval of interacting genes(STRING)database.Cell counting kit-8(CCK-8)assay was performed to assess the potential toxicity of PF on human OA fibroblast-like synoviocytes(FLS),quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction(q PCR),enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)and Western blot were used to verify the potential mechanism of PF in synovial inflammation.Results:Twenty-six co-targeted genes were identified.GO enrichment results showed that these co-targeted genes were most likely localized in the cytoplasm,and the biological processes mainly involved'cellular response to hypoxia''lipopolysaccharide(LPS)-mediated signaling pathway'and'positive regulation of gene expression'.KEGG pathway analysis indicated that these co-targeted genes may function through pathways associated with'hypoxia-inducible factor-1(HIF-1)signaling pathway'and'tumornecrosis factor(TNF)signaling pathway'.The PPI network showed that the top 3 hub genes were TP53,TNF,and CASP3.Molecular docking results showed that PF was well docking with TNF.CCK-8 showed no potential toxicity of 10,20 and 50μmol/L PF on human OA FLS.And PF significantly decreased the expression levels of interleukin-1β,interleukin-6,TNF-αmatrix metalloproteinase 13(MMP13),and a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs 5(ADAMTS5)and TNF-αin LPS-induced OA FLS.Conclusion:PF exhibited potent anti-inflammatory effect in OA synovial inflammation.
文摘目的研究芍药属4种药用植物叶绿体基因组特征、变异程度及芍药属和毛茛科植物的系统发育关系,为芍药属药用植物的分类地位和系统发育提供参考。方法应用二代高通量测序技术测定芍药Paeonia lactiflora叶绿体基因组,利用比较基因组学方法分析了芍药与川赤芍P.Veitchii、牡丹P.suffruticosa及杨山牡丹P.ostii等芍药属药用植物叶绿体基因组之间的结构特征及变异程度,以山地虎耳草Saxifraga sinomontana等植物为外类群,分析了芍药属植物与毛茛科植物的系统发育关系。结果芍药属4种药用植物的叶绿体基因组均为典型的四分结构,包含1个大单拷贝区(large single copy,LSC)、1个小单拷贝区(small single copy,SSC)和2个反向重复区(inverted repeats,IRa和IRb)。芍药叶绿体基因组序列长度为152731 bp,GC含量为38.43%,共注释到基因126个,其中82个蛋白质编码基因、36个t RNA基因和8个核糖体rRNA基因。重复序列分析发现芍药叶绿体基因组重复序列数量最多为48个,杨山牡丹最少为39个;只有芍药同时含有4种类型的重复序列。芍药含有最多的SSR序列达52个,4种植物SSR序列中单核苷酸重复占比达81%~86%,绝大多数为A/T重复。密码子偏好性分析表明芍药属4种药用植物中氨基酸出现频率均以亮氨酸最高,半胱氨酸最低;31种密码子具偏好性,且密码子偏好性与密码子第3位碱基具显著相关性。LSC/IRb、IRb/SSC、SSC/IRa和IRa/LSC边界附近的基因类型相同,相对保守,但牡丹组和芍药组之间仍具有差异。选择压力分析结果表明,绝大多数基因Ka/Ks值均小于1,受纯化选择,matK、ndhB和rpoA受到正选择。叶绿体基因组比较分析发现芍药属内4种药用植物的叶绿体基因组中非编码区比基因编码区的变异程度大,筛选出了6个基因间区和2个基因编码区的高变异区。系统发育分析结果显示,芍药与美丽芍药亲缘关系最近,所有芍药属植物被聚为一个分支,外类群把芍药属和毛茛科植物分隔开来,芍药属植物与毛茛科植物亲缘关系较远。结论芍药属4种植物在叶绿体基因组结构特征方面较为保守,但其变异程度存在一定差异;筛选出的8个高变异区可为芍药属药用植物的条形码开发、物种鉴定及药用植物质量控制提供候选片段;系统发育分析表明芍药属植物与外类群植物亲缘关系较近,而与毛茛科植物亲缘关系较远,为芍药属植物系统进化、芍药属药用植物的物种鉴定、质量控制及保护开发等研究奠定基础。
