摘要: 背景 近年来,围绝经期听力损失(PMS-HL)症状得到普遍关注,但无针对性治疗。左慈丸治疗耳聋已有百年历史,但尚无该药治疗PMS-HL的相关研究。 目的 在网络药理学和分子对接技术的基础上,进一步通过动物实验验证,初步探讨左慈丸对PMS-HL的作用机制及治疗靶点。 方法 检索数据库时限均为建库至2023年2月。根据左慈丸的组方,通过TCMSP和Uniprot数据库挖掘该药物活性成分和作用靶点,根据GeneCards、OMIM、TTD、DrugBank、PharmGKB数据库获取PMS-HL的蛋白靶点,取其交集,筛选左慈丸治疗PMS-HL的潜在治疗靶点,构建"药物-活性成分-靶点"相互作用网络图。利用String数据库的蛋白相互作用分析功能筛选核心靶点。采用Metascape数据库对蛋白的功能及其通路进行富集分析。使用Autodock和Pymol对核心蛋白进行分子对接,确定核心靶点与左慈丸的关键活性成分之间的结合能力。于2022年9月—2023年1月建立绝经大鼠模型:假手术组(SHAM)组、去卵巢组(OVX)组、左慈丸(ZCW)组,并检测血清中关键蛋白白介素1β(IL-1β)水平,使用SPSS 26.0进行统计分析。 结果 左慈丸组方中化合物的活性成分90个,潜在蛋白靶点226个,PMS-HL相关靶点2 481个,左慈丸与PMS-HL交集靶点150个。基因本体论(GO)功能中获得生物过程共183个条目,分子功能103个条目,细胞成分103个条目;京都基因和基因组百科全书(KEGG)前三位分别是癌症通路、脂质与动脉粥样硬化病变通路和化学致癌的受体激活通路。分子对接显示,左慈丸治疗PMS-HL的主要活性成分有槲皮素、山柰酚、豆甾醇、β-谷甾醇、异鼠李素、薯蓣皂苷、四氢鸭脚木碱和海风藤酮;左慈丸的活性成分与核心靶蛋白:丝氨酸/苏氨酸蛋白激酶1(AKT1)、细胞肿瘤抗原p53(TP53)、白介素6(IL-6)、血管内皮生长因子(VEGFA)、胱天蛋白酶3(CASP3)、IL-1β、表皮生长因子受体(EGFR)、雌激素受体1(ESR1)结合能稳定。3组大鼠血清IL-1β水平比较,差异有统计学意义(F=11.73,P<0.001)。 结论 左慈丸中的槲皮素等90个活性成分通过作用于AKT1等226个潜在蛋白,实现调控组织细胞的抗氧化应激、调节血脂血糖代谢、抗肿瘤等途径,直接或间接地起到保护围绝经期听力功能的作用,IL-1β可能是其中发挥作用的关键靶蛋白。

Abstract:

Background

In recent years, the symptoms of perimenopausal hearing loss (PMS-HL) have received widespread attention, but there is no targeted treatment. Zuoci pill has been used clinically for a hundred years, but there is no relevant research on the treatment of PMS-HL with this drug.

Objective

To explore the mechanism and therapeutic targets of Zuoci pill on PMS-HL through further validation of animal experiments based on the network pharmacology and molecular docking technology.

Methods

The active components and action targets of Zuoci pill were obtained through TCMSP and Uniprot databases, and the protein targets of PMS-HL were obtained through GeneCards, OMIM, TTD, DrugBank, and PharmGKB databases according to the composition of Zuoci pill from inception to February 2023, the intersection was taken to screen the potential therapeutic targets of Zuoci pill for the treatment of PMS-HL, and the "drug-active ingredient-target" interaction network diagram was constructed. The protein interaction analysis function of the String database was utilized to screen core targets. The Metascape database was used for enrichment analysis of the function of the proteins and pathways. Molecular docking of the core proteins was performed using Autodock and Pymol software to determine the binding capacity between key active ingredients and core targets. The menopausal animal model was established from September 2022 to January 2023, including Sham operation group (SHAM) group, ovariectomized (OVX) group, and Zuoci pill (ZCW) group, and serum level of the key protein interleukin 1β (IL-1β) was detected and statistically analyzed using SPSS 26.0.

Results

There were 90 active components, 226 potential protein targets, 2 481 PMS-HL related targets, and 150 Zuoci pill and PMS-HL intersection targets for the compounds in the Zuoci pill formula. A total of 183 items for biological process, 103 items for molecular function, and 103 items for cellular components were obtained in the Gene Ontology (GO) function. The top three Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) were cancer pathways, lipid and atherosclerotic lesion pathway, and receptor activation pathway for chemical carcinogenesis. Molecular docking showed that the main active ingredients of Zuoci pill in treating PMS-HL were quercetin, kaempferol, stigmasterol, β- Sitosterol, isorhamnetin, diosgenin, tetrahydrostilbene and kaempferone; the active components of Zuoci pill can bind to the core target proteins of serine/threonine kinase 1 (AKT1), cellular tumor antigen p53 (TP53), interleukin 6 (IL-6), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGFA), cystatinase 3 (CASP3), IL-1β, epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), and estrogen receptor 1 (ESR1) stably. Comparison of serum IL-1β level among the three groups of rats showed statistically significant difference (F=11.73, P<0.001) .

Conclusion

The 90 active ingredients in Zuoci pill, such as quercetin, act on 226 potential proteins such as AKT1 to regulate the antioxidant stress of tissues and cells, metabolism of blood lipids and glucose, and anti-tumor pathway, directly or indirectly protect the perimenopausal hearing function, IL-1β may be one of the key target proteins.
