Objective To explore the mechanism of Gastrodia elata in treatment of cerebral infarction based on network pharmacology and molecular docking techniques, and to verify it by molecular dynamics simulation technology. Methods The active components and potential targets of G. elata were screened using SymMap and BATMAN-TCM 1.0 databases. The targets related to cerebral infarction were collected from GeneCards and DisGeNET databases. The protein-protein interaction network was constructed using STRING database and Cytoscape 3.10.1 software. The intersection targets of G. elata and cerebral infarction were imported into the DAVID database for gene ontology (GO) and Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis. Cytoscape 3.10.1 was used to construct a network of “Gastrodia elata-active ingredients-potential targets-signaling pathways-cerebral infarction”. The active components and core targets were docked using Autodock Tools 1.5.7, and the affinity and stability of the binding models were analyzed through molecular dynamics simulation. Results Thirteen key active components of G. elata in treatment of cerebral infarction were screened, including hydroxybenzoic acid, 4-hydroxybenzylamine, γ-sitosterol, dauricine, citronellal, etc. There were 89 intersection target genes between drugs and diseases. The five highest moderate values in PPI network diagram were tumor necrosis factor (TNF), insulin (INS), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), prostaglandin endoperoxide synthase 2 (PTGS2), peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARG). There were 566 items in the GO analysis, in which biological processes (BP) were mostly enriched in signal release, regulation of inflammatory response, transport of organic hydroxyl compounds, etc. The cell composition (CC) was mostly enriched in neuronal cell bodies, secretory granule cavities, cytoplasmic vesicle cavities, etc. Molecular function (MF) was mostly enriched in steroids, protease binding and nuclear receptor activity. There were 88 KEGG enrichment results, including neuroactive interactions, human cytomegalovirus, lipid and atherosclerosis, 5-hydroxytryptaminergic synapses, and cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) signaling pathways. The results of molecular docking showed that the core active components of G. elata could well bind to the five target proteins with the highest moderate value in the PPI network diagram, forming relatively stable complexes. Molecular dynamics simulation further verified that γ-sitosterol had good affinity and binding stability with INS, dauricine and TNF, and citronellal and TNF. Conclusion G. elata may act on target genes such as TNF and INS through active ingredients such as γ-sitosterol, dauricine and citronellal, regulate signal release, regulate inflammatory response and cAMP signaling pathway to achieve anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidative stress and anti-apoptosis, thus playing a role in the treatment of cerebral infarction.
