Study on mechanism of Radix Paeoniae Rubra-Cortex Moutan in treatment of abnormal uterine bleeding based on network pharmacology

摘要

Objective:To explore the mechanism of the treatment of abnormal uterine bleeding with Radix Paeoniae Rubra-Cortex Moutan.Methods:To search the effective elements and action targets of paeony peony skin drug pair by searching the pharmacology platform of traditional Chinese medicine system;to select the disease targets of abnormal uterine bleeding by searching the human gene information database;to select the common targets of drugs and diseases by R language,to construct the interaction network of drugs compounds action targets diseases by using the software of Cytoscape;to construct the protein-protein interaction network by using the string platform The interaction network(PPI)was used to visualize the results,and the bio information package of Bioconductor was used to analyze go function enrichment and KEGG pathway.Results:This study included 16 compounds and 67 key targets.After enrichment analysis,87 go functional items and 116 KEGG signaling pathways were obtained.Quercetin,scutellarin,kaempferol and stigmasterol in Radix Paeoniae Rubra-Cortex Moutan directly act on interleukin-6,epidermal growth factor receptor,cystatin 3,mitogen activated protein kinase 8,vascular endothelial growth factor and other related targets,and are mainly enriched in Kaposi sarcoma associated herpesvirus infection and hepatis B.Age-range,TNF and other signal pathways.Conclusion:Radix Paeoniae Rubra-Cortex Moutan may play the role of anti-cell proliferation and apoptosis,protection of vascular endothelium,anti-inflammatory response,regulation of hormone secretion,and improvement of antioxidant activity through multi-component and multi-target,and play the role of treatment of abnormal uterine bleeding.
