Objective To search for the core targets of nobiletin on gastric cancer cisplatin resistant cells (AGS-DDP) by lipid metabolomics and network pharmacology, and further explore the mechanism of nobiletin on reversing gastric cancer cisplatin resistance through cell experiments. Methods UPLC-Orbitrap mass spectrometry system was used for non-targeted lipidomics analysis. GENE Card and TCMSP databases were utilized to explore potential targets for the metabolic pathways of nobiletin and glycerol phospholipids, the intersection targets were integrated through Microbioinformatics online mapping tool platform, and Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis was performed. STRING database was used to construct protein-protein interaction (PPI) network, the core targets of nobiletin was visualized by Cytoscape software. After administration of nobiletin, the survival rate of AGS and AGS-DDP cells was detected by CCK-8 method; Flow cytometry was used to detect the apoptosis of AGS-DDP cells; Scratch experiment was used to detect the migration ability of AGS-DDP cells; Western blotting was used to detect B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2), Bcl-2 associated X protein (Bax), E-cadherin, N-cadherin, Vimentin, peroxisome proliferators-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) and adenosine triphosphate citrate lyase (ACL) protein expressions in AGS-DDP cells. Results A total of 1450 different lipid compounds were detected in 31 subclasses of AGS and AGS-DDP cells through lipidomics analysis, mainly enriched in glycerol phospholipid metabolism pathway. KEGG enrichment analysis of potential targets of nobiletin showed that nobiletin had the potential to reverse platinum resistance. The results of cell experiment showed that compared with control group, nobiletin significantly inhibited the survival rate of AGS-DDP cells in a dose-dependent manner (P < 0.05, 0.01), increased the sensitivity of AGS-DDP cells to cisplatin (P < 0.05), induced AGS-DDP cells apoptosis and inhibited its migration ability (P < 0.05, 0.01). The results of Western blotting experiments showed that Bax and E-cadherin protein expression levels were significantly increased (P < 0.05, 0.01), as well as Bcl-2, N-cadherin, Vimentin, ACL and PPARγ protein expression levels were significantly reduced (P < 0.05, 0.01). Conclusion The differential lipid metabolites between AGS and AGS-DDP cells are mainly enriched in glycerol phospholipid metabolism pathway. Nobiletin inhibits the proliferation and migration of AGS-DDP cells by regulating key genes for lipid synthesis and oxidation, ultimately reversing cisplatin resistance in gastric cancer.
