RESUMEN
Objective To study the effect and mechanism of Anchusa italica Retz on cerebral ischemia-reperfusion inju-ry in rats based on the target network of active compounds in Anchusa italica Retz.Methods The rat model of cerebral ische-mia-reperfusion injury was established by the thread occlusion method.After performing ischemia for 1.5 h and then reperfusion for 24 h,the neurological function of rats was scored and the volume of cerebral infarction was measured by the 2,3,5-triphenyltet-razolium chloride staining method.The molecular network analysis technique of network pharmacology,protein-protein interaction network,gene ontology(GO)enrichment analysis,KEGG signal pathway analysis,and molecular docking was used to study the mechanism of Anchusa italica Retz in the treatment of cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury.Results The administration of An-chusa italica Retz could significantly improve the neurobehavioral dysfunction caused by cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury and reduce the pathological injury of brain tissue.Anchusa italica Retz could regulate inflammation,apoptosis,protein phosphorylation,and other biological processes through 143 ischemic stroke-related targets,and interfere with the TNF signal pathway,VEGF signal pathway,HIF-1 signal pathway,and other pathways.Conclusion Network pharmacology and experimental verification had shown that Anchusa italica Retz could effectively reduce brain injury and protect neurological function through multi-target,multi-mechanism,and holistic treatment of cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury.
