[Abstract]
Objective To investigate the action mechanism of Euphorbia fischeriana in treatment of thyroid cancer based on network pharmacology, molecular docking technology, and experimental validation. Methods Screening the main active ingredient and corresponding targets of E. fischeriana through databases such as SwissADME and Swiss Target Prediction. GeneCards, OMIM and DisGeNET databases were used to collect the target genes of thyroid cancer. PPI network and “E. fischeriana–active ingredient–intersection targets” network diagrams were constructed using the STRING platform and Cytoscape software, from which core targets were screened. DAVID database was applied for GO functional annotation analysis and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis, and molecular docking analysis validated binding affinity values for the core components and key targets via AutoDockTools software. Western blotting was assessed for its effects of E. fischeriana on EGFR/JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway. Results A total of 38 potential effective constituents, 488 drug related targets, 3 050 thyroid cancer targets, and 175 overlapping targets were obtained. Biological processes mainly included phosphorylation, protein phosphorylation, and positive regulation of cell population proliferation, etc. Relevant signaling pathways involved EGFR/JAK2/STAT3, PI3K/Akt, MAPK, EGFR, TNF, AGE-RAGE, apoptosis, and Th17 cell differentiation signaling pathways. Molecular docking revealed that the core active component jolkinolide A was stable in docking with JAK2, EGFR, and STAT3, implied with significant affinity. Western blotting assay showed that E. fischeriana inhibited EGFR/JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway in a concentration-dependent manner. Conclusion E. fischeriana can exert an antithyroid cancer effect by regulating multiple key targets, multiple biological processes and multiple pathways, especially EGFR/JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway, which will provide theoretical reference for further in-depth investigating the regulatory mechanism of E. fischeriana on thyroid cancer.
