[Abstract]
Objective Based on network pharmacology and molecular docking technology, the material basis and mechanism of Wenyang Yiqi Huoxue Recipe (温阳益气活血方) in the treatment of chronic heart failure were predicted. To explore the effect of Wenyang Yiqi Huoxue Recipe on gene expression profile of peripheral blood in patients with chronic heart failure, so as to provide basis and direction for the follow-up study of traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of chronic heart failure. Methods Based on the pharmacological analysis platform (TCMSP) of traditional Chinese medicine system, the potential active components of Wenyang Yiqi Huoxue Recipe were screened; GEO database was used to obtain the target of potential active components; Venny online platform was used to obtain the main pathogenic target of chronic heart failure. The "formula-component-target-disease" network model and protein-protein interaction (PPI) network diagram were constructed by using STRING database and Cytoscape software to analyze the main active components and target proteins in prescription; Genetic ontology (GO) and Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes (KEGG) were analyzed by Cluster Profiler toolkit of R language. Autodock was used for molecular docking. Thirty healthy subjects were randomly selected as the control group. Experimental group:Sixty patients with chronic heart failure were randomly divided into chemical medicine group and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and Western medicine group. The chemical medicine group was treated with Benazepril Hydrochloride Tablets 10 mg/d, Hydrochlorothiazide Tablets 50 mg/d, Spironolactone Tablets 40 mg/d, Metoprolol Succinate Tablets 23.75 mg/d and Digoxin Tablets 0.125 mg/d, 1 time/d; On the basis of oral treatment with conventional chemical drugs, the TCM and Western medicine group was combined with Wenyang Yiqi Huoxue Formula Granules, 6 g/time, 2 times/d. The course of treatment of both groups was 15 d. In the control group, venous blood of forearm was collected by anticoagulant tube in the quiet state of fasting in the morning, and then 10 cases of peripheral blood were randomly selected for differential detection of gene chip. The experimental group was collected on an empty stomach in the morning of the next day after admission, the peripheral blood of five cases in each group was randomly selected for the difference detection of gene chip before and after drug intervention. Affymetrix company's PrimeViewTM Human Gene Expression Array Gene chip was used to detect the reverse differentially expressed genes of Wenyang Yiqi Huoxue Recipe combined with bioinformatics transcriptome and RNA technology. Results Six potential active components and 236 drug targets were screened; Seventeen potential targets of prescriptions in the treatment of chronic heart failure were obtained; A total of 519 biological processes, five cell components and 14 molecular functions were obtained by GO analysis; Eighty-nine signal pathways were obtained by KEGG pathway enrichment analysis. Microarray experiment showed that after the two groups of patients with chronic heart failure were given different drugs, a total of 42 640 genes were detected in the gene expression profile of peripheral blood in the TCM and Western medicine group and 37 081 in the chemical medicine group. Both intervention methods can affect the gene expression of peripheral blood of chronic heart failure. The number of differential genes of chronic heart failure changed by single pure chemical drugs was less than that by the combined intervention of Chinese and Western medicine.There were also significant differences in related indexes brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), TCM symptom score and cardiac function (P<0.05). Conclusion It is preliminarily revealed that Wenyang Yiqi Huoxue Recipe may play a preventive and therapeutic role in chronic heart failure through multiple components, multiple targets and multiple ways. Its mechanism is related to ZNF331, TRAPPC10, SMAD7, MYC, RORA and PCNA genes, involving Th17 cell differentiation, B cell receptor signal pathway and adenosine monophosphate activated protein kinase (AMPK) pathway.
