Mechanism of Tongguan Pills in treatment for tubal factor infertility based on bioinformatics combined with network pharmacology and molecular docking
To investigate the mechanism of Tongguan Pills in the treatment for tubal factor infertility based on bioinformatics combined with network pharmacology.
Methods
2
The active components and corresponding targets of Tongguan Pills were collected through TCMSP and HERB databases. The gene expression profiles of tubal factor infertility were searched from GEO
OMIM
RefSeqGene and Genecards databases. Then R software was used to predict the potential action targets of the herb on tubal factor infertility
and Cytoscape software and String database were adopted to build the network diagram and obtain the core targets. The results were subsequently analyzed with GO biological process and KEGG pathway. Finally
molecular docking of the core targets to the active components was carried out.
Results
2
A total of 243 active components were found in the Tongguan Pill
and 33 targets were identified for the treatment of tubal factor infertility
with TP53
EGF
VEGFA
IL1B
JUN
EGFR
and ERBB2 as the core targets; 1 581 biological processes were obtained by GO analysis
and 39 pathways were screened out by KEGG analysis
such as local adhesion
estrogen pathway
and HIF-1 signaling pathway. Molecular docking suggested that the core targets were well bound to the active components of the herbs.
Conclusion
2
Tongguan Pills can treat tubal factor infertility through a multi-target and multi-channel way.
