基于网络药理学探究藏药佐汤卡擦丸治疗高血压的药理作用机制

Pharmacological mechanism of Tibetan medicine Zuotangkaca pills for the treatment of hypertension based on network pharmacology

  • 摘要: 通过网络药理学和体内实验探究藏药佐汤卡擦丸(ZTKCW)治疗高血压的作用机制。利用网络药理学筛选68个ZTKCW活性成分和518个药物-疾病靶点,通过网络拓扑分析筛选出鸭嘴花考林酮碱、木犀草素、异紫堇球碱、秦皮乙素、甘草素等8个ZTKCW标志性核心成分和AKT1、TNF、IL6、STAT3等8个关键靶点。KEGG富集分析表明核心靶点主要富集在脂质与动脉粥样硬化、JAK-STAT和炎症相关信号通路。采用自发性高血压大鼠(SHR)进行体内实验,分别用0.41、0.82和1.64 g/kg的ZTKCW灌胃12周。结果显示,1.64 g/kg ZTKCW显著降低SHR大鼠的收缩压和舒张压,并降低胸主动脉和心脏中AKT1、PI3K、STAT3和JAK2的磷酸化水平。本研究证明ZTKCW可能通过PI3K/AKT和JAK2/STAT3通路发挥降压作用,为ZTKCW用于高血压治疗提供了思路和理论基础。

     

    Abstract: The mechanism of Tibetan medicine Zuotangkaca pills (ZTKCW) for the treatment of hypertension was explored by network pharmacology and in vivo experiments. 68 active ingredients of ZTKCW and 518 drug-disease targets were screened by network pharmacology. Eight core components of ZTKCW (vasicolinone, luteolin, (–)-isocorypalmine, esculetin, liquiritigenin, etc.) and eight key targets (AKT1, TNF, IL6, and STAT3, etc.) were screened by network topology analysis. KEGG enrichment analysis showed that the core targets were mainly enriched in lipids and atherosclerosis, JAK/STAT, and inflammation-related pathways. An in vivo experiment was conducted using spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR), which were gavaged with ZTKCW at doses of 0.41, 0.82, and 1.64 g/kg for 12 weeks, respectively. The results showed that ZTKCW at a dose of 1.64 g/kg significantly reduced both systolic and diastolic pressure in SHR rats and decreased the phosphorylation levels of AKT1, PI3K, STAT3, and JAK2 in the thoracic aorta and heart tissues. This study demonstrates that ZTKCW may exert its antihypertensive effects through PI3K/AKT and JAK2/STAT3 pathways, providing some insights and a theoretical basis for the use of ZTKCW in hypertension.
