- Abstract
[Objectives] To explore the mechanism of Angelica sinensis-Phellodendri Chinensis Cortex in the treatment of chronic prostatitis(CP) based on the method of network pharmacology. [Methods] The active components and action targets of Angelica sinensis-Phellodendri Chinensis Cortex were screened by(TCMSP), a systematic pharmacological analysis platform of traditional Chinese medicine, combined with literature search. The target was corrected by Uniprot database, and the disease CP target was screened by GeneCards and OMIM database. The common targets of drugs and diseases were screened by R language software, and the visual network map of drugs-active components-targets-diseases was constructed by Cytoscape 3.5.1 software. The common target protein-protein interaction(PPI) network was constructed by using STRING platform. The R language software was used to annotate and analyze the gene function and pathway of the core target through geneontology(GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG). [Results] 46 active components of Angelica sinensis-Phellodendri Chinensis Cortex were screened, and 212 related targets were predicted, of which 159 were related to disease. These targets were mainly involved in biological processes such as heterologous biological stimulation, oxidation and anti-oxidation, and were mainly concentrated in PI3 K-Akt, mitogen-activated protein kinase(MAPK), hypoxia inducible factor-1(HIF-1) and other related signaling pathways. [Conclusions] The multi-component, multi-target and multi-pathway action characteristics of Angelica sinensis-Phellodendri Chinensis Cortex were confirmed by network pharmacology, and the possible mechanism of Angelica sinensis-Phellodendri Chinensis Cortex in the treatment of CP was predicted, which provided a theoretical basis for further experiments to verify its action mechanism.
