摘要
目的 通过网络药理学技术预测酸枣仁复方(Ziziphi spinosae semen formula, ZSSF)对于抑郁症的关键作用靶点,并通过利血平诱导的抑郁斑马鱼模型验证酸枣仁复方治疗抑郁症的作用机制。方法 通过TCMSP数据库检索酸枣仁复方的药物作用靶点,利用UniProt数据库对靶点名称进行校正。采用GeneCards、OMIM、NCBI数据库检索抑郁症相关靶点,并对3个数据库的靶点结果进行汇总去比重。利用STRING数据库预测了交集靶点的蛋白质-蛋白质相互作用(protein-protein interaction, PPI)信息,利用Metascape数据库构建进行富集研究,并利用微生信对KEGG和GO的富集结果实现了可视化。通过利血平诱导的斑马鱼抑郁模型进行行为学实验和RT-qPCR实验,验证酸枣仁复方对抑郁症的治疗作用。结果 筛选出抑郁症与酸枣仁复方的交集靶点188个,蛋白质-蛋白质相互作用结果显示,酸枣仁复方抗抑郁主要作用于肿瘤坏死因子-α(TNF-α)、血清白细胞介素2(IL-2)、血清白细胞介素6(IL-6)、血清白细胞介素1β(IL-1β)、血清白细胞介素10(IL-10)等靶点,KEGG通路富集分析表明,酸枣仁复方通过TNF信号通路、PI3K-Akt信号通路、cGMP-PKG信号通路等多种信号通路发挥其治疗抑郁症的作用。动物实验结果显示,与利血平组相比,酸枣仁复方高、中、低剂量组斑马鱼在声光刺激下的运动距离显著延长(P<0.05),运动速度显著增快(P<0.01)。RT-qPCR结果显示,与利血平组相比,酸枣仁复方高、中、低剂量给药组斑马鱼脑组织中TNF-α、IL-2、IL-6、IL-1β、IL-10 mRNA表达水平上调(P<0.001)。结论 酸枣仁复方通过多成分、多靶点发挥抗抑郁作用,且其抗抑郁作用可能与抑制炎症因子的表达有关。
Objective In this study,we aimed to use network pharmacology techniques to predict the key targets of a prescription of Ziziphi spinosae semen formula(ZSSF)compound for depression,and to verify its mechanism of action using a zebrafish model of rifampicin-induced depression.Methods The drug targets of ZSSF were retrieved from the TCMSP database,and the target names were corrected using the UniProt database.Depression-related targets were identified using the GeneCards,OMIM,and NCBI databases.Protein-protein interaction information for the shared targets was predicted using the STRING database.The collected data were then analyzed using the Metascape database to determine GO and KEGG pathway enrichment,and the result were visualized using microbiotics.Behavioral experiments and reverse-transcription quantitative PCR experiments were conducted to verify the therapeutic effects of ZSSF on a zebrafish depression model induced by risperdal.Results 188 targets were screened to find the interactions between depression and ZSSF.The protein-protein interaction result showed that ZSSF primarily targeted TNF-α,IL-2,IL-6,IL-1β,and IL-10 to produce its antidepressant effect.KEGG pathway enrichment analysis revealed that ZSSF exerted its effects on depression through various signaling pathways,including the TNF,PI3K-Akt,and cGMP-PKG signaling pathways.The result of the animal experiments showed that the treatment groups given high,medium,and low doses of ZSSF exhibited significant improvements in movement distance under acoustic and light stimulation compared with the model group(P<0.05).The speed of movement of the treatment groups was also significantly faster(P<0.01).Additionally,the mRNA expression levels of TNF-α,IL-2,IL-6,IL-1β,and IL-10 were up-regulated in the brain tissues of zebrafish in the high-,medium-,and low-dosage groups of ZSSF compared those in the model group(P<0.001).Conclusions ZSSF exerts its antidepressant effect through multiple components and targets,and its antidepressant effects may be associated with its inhibition of inflammatory factors.
