摘要
Objective:The aim of this study is to explore the active ingredients and mechanism of action of danhong injection(DHI)in treating myeloproliferative neoplasms using network pharmacology.Methods:The TCMSP platform and relevant literature were used to search for the active ingredients and targets of Radix Salviae and Carthami Flos in DHI.Disease targets related to myeloproliferative neoplasms were obtained from the GEO database,GeneCards,and DisGeNET database.The queried component targets were normalized using the UniProt database.Potential targets were identified by constructing protein-protein interactions networks using STRING 11.5 and visualized and analyzed using Cytoscape 3.9.1.GO and KEGG analysis were performed using the Metascape platform,and visualization was done using the built-in plug-in CluoGO or SangerBox platforms with Cytoscape 3.9.1.Results:The active ingredients of DHI for treating myeloproliferative neoplasms mainly consist of flavonoids and o-benzoquinones,including quercetin,luteolin,kaempferol,stigmasterol,tanshinone iia,cryptotanshinone,beta-carotene,2-isopropyl-8-methylphenanthrene-3,4-dione,and neocryptotanshinone ii.The potential targets are JUN,TP53,STAT3,AKT1,MAPK1,RELA,TNF,MAPK14,IL6,and FOS.The relevant signaling pathways involved are mainly TNFαsignaling pathway,PI3K-Akt signaling pathway,apoptosis,IL-17 signaling pathway,cellular senescence,MAPK signaling pathway,p53 signaling pathway,JAK-STAT signaling pathway,and NF-kappa B signaling.Conclusions:DHI acts mainly through flavonoids and o-benzoquinones to treat myeloproliferative neoplasms in a multi-targeted and multi-pathway manner.
