Abstract

Abstract:

The study aimed to investigate the potential therapy targets and pharmacological mechanism of Cnidii Fructus for the treatment of breast cancer using network pharmacology and molecular docking. The active components of Cnidii Fructus and the potential targets of active components were obtained via the traditional Chinese medicine systems pharmacology database and analysis platform, and the gene conversions were obtained using the UniProt database. The targets of breast cancer were retrieved from GeneCards and OMIM database. The Venn online software was used to obtain the common targets of drug and disease, and then the drug-compound-target-disease network diagram was constructed using the Cytoscape 3.7.2 software. The STRING database was employed to draw the protein-protein interaction network. Further, the DAVID database was used to perform gene ontology function and Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes pathway enrichment analysis on the effective targets, and the AutoDock software was used to verify the molecular docking of active components and core targets. The results revealed that 17 active components of the Cnidii Fructus regulated 19 targets and 56 pathways to treat breast cancer. The four key compounds were beta-sitosterol, (E)-2,3-bis(2-keto-7-methoxy-chromen-8-yl)acrolein, stigmasterol, and osthol, which generally mediate pathways in cancer, proteoglycans in cancer, focal adhesion, PI3K-Akt, and other signaling pathways. These pathways are mediated via HSP90AA1, JUN, PRKACA, KDR, and other key targets to exert the anti-breast cancer effects. The study preliminarily reveals the molecular mechanism of Cnidii Fructus against breast cancer and provides a theoretical basis for the clinical application of Cnidii Fructus and its related research on breast cancer.
