Abstract

Abstract:

To explore the active ingredients and mechanisms of Sparganii Rhizoma-Curcumae Rhizoma herbal pair in breast cancer using network pharmacology and molecular docking. The effective active ingredients and corresponding targets of Sparganii Rhizoma and Curcumae Rhizoma were searched and screened using the traditional Chinese medicine systems pharmacology database and analysis platform,and the disease targets of breast cancer were searched using the OMIM and GeneCards databases. Cytoscape 3.7.2 software was used to construct a visual network diagram of drug-ingredient-disease-targets. A protein-protein interaction network (PPI) was constructed using STRING database platform, and the MCODE plug-in in Cytoscape was used for analysis to screen the top 10 core targets. Gene ontology and Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes(KEGG) enrichment pathway analyses of the targets of action were performed using DAVID database, and the network diagram of ingredient-target-pathway was plotted. Finally, molecular docking was performed using autodock Vina and other software to verify the interaction between the core ingredients and the core targets. Seven active components and 73 action targets were obtained through screening. There were 43 common targets of Sparganii Rhizoma and Curcumae Rhizoma and breast cancer. The active components were hederagenin, beta-sitosterol, formononetin, stigmasterol, and trans-gondoic acid. The PPI network showed that the key targets were JUN, CASP3, PTGS2, ESR1, MPK14, PPARG, SIRT1, NOS3, TGFB1 and NOS2. The KEGG pathway enrichment analysis revealed 72 items. According to the P values, the first 20 items related to breast cancer were eliminated via screened, including the PI3K-Akt signaling pathway, VEGF signaling pathway, p53 signaling pathway, and MAPK signaling pathway. The molecular docking results showed that the active ingredients had strong binding ability in docking with the core targets. Therefore, our results suggest that Sparganii Rhizoma-Curcumae Rhizoma herbal pair has characteristics of a multi-ingredient, multi-target, and multi-pathway on breast cancer, which provides a theoretical basis for its clinical application in the future.

Key words: network pharmacology, molecular docking, Sparganii Rhizoma-Curcumae Rhizoma, breast cancer, mechanism
