文摘本研究使用网络药理学、分子对接结合实验验证探究当归补血汤在糖尿病视网膜病变(Diabetic retinopathy,DR)中的作用机制。从TCMSP、TCMID、Swiss Target Prediction数据库筛选当归补血汤活性成分及其靶点,通过Gene Cards、Dis Ge NET收集DR靶点,利用Venny 2.1获得二者交集靶点。使用Cytoscape构建“疾病-药物-成分-靶点”、蛋白互作(PPI)网络;DAVID数据库对关键靶点进行基因本体论(GO)和京都基因与基因组百科全书(KEGG)富集分析;Auto Dock Vina对主要活性成分与关键靶点进行分子对接验证。最后,通过动物实验验证网络药理学结果。收集到当归补血汤与DR共同靶点84个。GO分析显示220个条目;KEGG富集分析得到113条信号通路。分子对接结果显示关键靶点与槲皮素、豆甾醇等有效成分均具有较好的对接活性。动物实验表明当归补血汤可改善DR大鼠视网膜组织形态,降低血糖,增加胰岛素分泌,降低DR大鼠视网膜组织VEGF、TNF-α蛋白表达水平、提高PI3K、Akt1表达水平(P<0.05,P<0.01)。当归补血汤治疗DR具有多活性成分、多靶点、多通路的特点,可通过调节TNF-α、VEGFA、PI3K、AKT等核心靶点,影响PI3K/AKT、TNF等信号通路发挥对DR的治疗作用。
