Li, Wenxuan; Deng, Lijuan; Lei, Yuhe; Liu, Junshan published the artcile< Network-pharmacology and molecular docking-based investigation of mechanism of Sophora flavescens on cancer and inflammation>, Category: naphthyridine, the main research area is Sophora network pharmacol mol docking.
Objective: In order to explore the systematical regulatory mechanism of Kushen (Sophora flavescens, SF) on inflammation and cancer, we analyzed inter-mol. interactions between herbal ingredients of SF and human inflammation and cancer through network-pharmacol. and mol. docking-based approaches. Methods: Firstly, ingredients and potential targets were obtained from Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacol. Database and Anal. Platform, GeneCards database, Therapeutic Targets Database and Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man database. Then, protein-protein interaction network and medicine-ingredient-target-disease network were established and analyzed via STRING and Cytoscape. Surflex-dock was performed by SybylX-2.0. Finally, functional enrichment and pathway enrichment were achieved by Gene Ontol. database and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes database. Results: The results showed that 113 components of SF and 53 potential targets were related in the study. Conclusions: The study predicted the mechanism of SF on cancer and inflammation. According to the results, we suggest that the ingredients of SF effect on DNA bingding and transcription in nuclear receptors-like JUN, MYC, RELA, NCOA, PPARG. the receptors trigger several pathways including NF-κB pathway, the Bcl-2/Bax pathway and others. Eventually, it regulats inflammatory factors and cell proliferation, senescence and apoptosis.
