Effect of Buyang Huanwutang on Rehabilitation of Ischemic Stroke by Cell Membrane Solid-phase Chromatography Combined with Network Pharmacology / 中国实验方剂学杂志

ABSTRACT

ObjectiveTo explore the effect of Buyang Huanwutang （BHD） on rehabilitation of ischemic stroke（IS） by cell membrane solid-phase chromatography and network pharmacology. MethodCell membrane solid-phase chromatography was performed to screen the specific binding components of BHD with hippocampal neurons. Targets of the specific components were retrieved based on PubChem and PharmMapper and those of IS were searched from Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man （OMIM） and GeneCards. Then， the protein-protein interaction （PPI） network was constructed with STRING and Cytoscape 3.7.1， followed by Gene Ontology （GO） term enrichment and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes （KEGG） pathway enrichment of the hub genes in the PPI network. Thereby， the mechanism of BHD in promoting IS rehabilitation was clarified. ResultA total of 13 specific components were identified. The hub genes were mainly involved in the biological processes of regulation of cell proliferation， protein phosphorylation， hypoxia response， and angiogenesis， and the pathways of Forkhead box O （FoxO） signaling pathway， adenosine 5'-monophosphate （AMP）-activated protein kinase （AMPK） signaling pathway， nuclear factor kappa B （NF-κB） signaling pathway， and apoptosis pathway. ConclusionBHD may promote the recovery of IS by regulating FoxO， AMPK， NF-κB， and apoptosis pathways.
