摘要:

目的:通过构建小儿清热止咳口服液成分与靶点和蛋白相互作用网络,进行富集分析并确定涉及的生 物过程和通路,从而研究小儿清热止咳口服液治疗小儿发热的潜在作用机制。方法:通过检索TCMSP 数据库筛 选出小儿清热止咳口服液的活性成分,预测其靶点,并与Genecards 数据库以及DrugBank 数据库获得的发热相 关靶点取交集,进而得到小儿清热止咳口服液治疗发热的潜在作用靶点。将对比结果处理后输入Cytoscape 3.7.2 软件中构建“小儿清热止咳口服液成分- 化合物- 发热靶点”网络,利用String 数据库和Cytoscape 3.7.2 构建 蛋白相互作用网并得到关键靶点。通过DAVID v6.8 数据库进行GO 生物功能和KEGG 通路富集分析,并借助 Cytoscape 3.7.2 将富集结果可视化。最后将关键化合物与关键靶点进行分子对接。结果:分析结果得到小儿清 热止咳口服液160 个活性成分,活性成分靶点为584 个,4 137 个已知的小儿发热相关的靶点基因。取疾病基因 与药物靶点的交集得到346 个交集靶点,经蛋白相互作用网络及拓扑分析后得到18 个核心靶点。富集分析显示 主要通路集中在神经活性配体- 受体相关通路、免疫炎症通路,也有神经毒素成瘾、病毒感染等其他通路富集其 中。进一步筛选核心靶点及化合物进行分子对接结果显示Casp3、CREB1、Fos、IL-1B、IL-6、INS、Jun 以及MYC 作为核心靶点蛋白可与D- 去甲伪麻黄碱(D-norpseudoephedrine)、β- 谷甾醇(Beta-sitosterol)、苦参碱(Matrine) 以及麻黄碱(Ephedrine)等小分子稳定结合。结论:该研究通过网络药理学及分子对接的方法,获得小儿清热止 咳口服液中的可能活性成分及小儿发热潜在作用靶点,并预测了小儿清热止咳口服液治疗小儿发热的代谢、信 号通路传导等多种途径,从而达到治疗小儿发热的目的,为小儿清热止咳口服液治疗小儿发热的作用机制提供 了理论依据,为进一步研究相关药物治疗小儿发热的分子作用机制、新药开发、疾病的治疗等提供了新的思路和方法。

Abstract:

Objective:By constructing the interaction networks between the compositions of Xiao’er Qingre Zhike Koufuye and target networks and proteins,we conducted the enrichment analysis to determine the biological processes and involved pathways,we also studied the potential action mechanism of fever in children. Methods:The active components of Xiao’er Qingre Zhike Koufuye were selected and the target points were predicted by searching TCMSP database,and the potential action targets were obtained by crossing Genecards database with Drug Bank database of the fever-related targets. After processing the comparison results,the targets were input into Cytoscape3.7.2 software to build the “Xiao’er Qingre Zhike Koufuye ingredientscompounds- fever targets” network,and the String database and Cytoscape3.7.2 database were used to construct the protein interaction network and to obtain the key targets. The GO biofunction and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis were later performed through the DAVID v6.8 database and the enrichment results were visualized with Cytoscape3.7.2. Finally,the molecular docking of the key compounds and the targets were performed. Results:160 active components, 584 active component targets,and 4 137 known fever in children-related target genes were obtained. The interaction of disease genes and drug targets yielded 346 intersection targets,and 18 core targets were obtained by the protein interaction network and topological analysis. Enrichment analysis showed that the main pathways focused on neuroactive ligand-receptor-related pathways,immune inflammation pathways,and other pathways such as neurotoxin addiction and viral infection. Further screening of core targets and compounds for molecular docking showed that Casp3,CREB1,Fos,IL-1B,IL-6,INS,Jun,and MYC as core target proteins could stably bind to small molecules such as D-norpseudoephedrine,beta-sitosterol,matrine and ephedrine. Conclusion:Through network pharmacology and molecular docking,our study found the possible active ingredients of Xiao’er Qingre Zhike Koufuye and the potential targets of fever in children and predicted the key ways to treat fever in children. It provided a theoretical basis for explaining the action mechanism of Xiao’er Qingre Zhike Koufuye in children and new methods for further studying the molecular action mechanism. Besides,it supplied a new idea for drug development of children fever.
