- Abstract
Shen-qi-Yi-zhu decoction (SQYZD) is an empirical prescription with antigastric cancer (GC) property created by Xu Jing-fan, a National Chinese Medical Master. However, its underlying mechanisms are still unclear. Based on network pharmacology and experimental verification, this study puts forward a systematic method to clarify the anti-GC mechanism of SQYZD. The active ingredients of SQYZD and their potential targets were acquired from the TCMSP database. The target genes related to GC gathered from GeneCards, DisGeNET, OMIM, TTD, and DrugBank databases were imported to establish protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks in GeneMANIA. Cytoscape was used to establish the drug-ingredients-targets-disease network. The hub target genes collected from the SQYZD and GC were parsed via GO and KEGG analysis. Our findings from network pharmacology were successfully validated using an in vitro HGC27 cell model experiment. In a word, this study proves that the combination of network pharmacology and in vitro experiments is effective in clarifying the potential molecular mechanism of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM).
