[Abstract]
Objective To explore the molecular mechanism of matrine in alleviating inflammatory responses in acute pancreatitis by network pharmacology and experimental validation. Methods Acute pancreatitis -related targets were obtained from DisGeNET, GeneCards, and OMIM databases. Matrine’s action targets were screened using the TCMSP database, and the intersection of these targets was identified as potential targets for matrine in treating acute pancreatitis. GO functional and KEGG pathway enrichment analyses were performed using DAVID and KEGG databases. A protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was constructed via the String database, and core targets were screened using the cytoHubba algorithm. Online molecular docking tools were used to validate the binding ability of matrine to core targets. A cerulein-induced MPC83 cell injury model and cell viability were detected by CCK-8 assay. The expression of inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, TNF-α, TGF-β1, IL-1β) mRNA was detected by RT-PCR. A cerulein/lipase-induced C57BL/6 mice acute pancreatitis model was used. Pathological changes in pancreatic tissues were observed via HE staining. Serum levels of AMY, IL-6, and TNF-α in mice were measured by ELISA. Results A total of 30 potential targets for matrine in acute pancreatitis treatment were identified. Enrichment analysis showed that these targets were significantly enriched in GO such as cytokine receptor binding, inflammatory response, as well as KEGG pathways such as pathways in cancer, IL-17 signaling pathway. The top 5 core targets screened from the PPI network were IL-6, TNF, TGFβ1, IL-1β, and NFκBIA. Molecular docking showed that matrine had stable binding efficacy with IL-6, TNF, TGFβ1 and IL-1β. Cell experiments showed that matrine significantly enhanced the viability of injured cells (P< 0.05), and downregulated the mRNA expression of IL-6, TNF-α, TGF-β1, and IL-1β (P< 0.05). Animal experiments showed that matrine group significantly reduced serum AMY, IL-6, and TNF-α levels (P< 0.05, 0.01) in acute pancreatitis mice, and alleviated pancreatic tissue edema, necrosis, and inflammatory cell infiltration. Conclusion Matrine inhibits the inflammatory response and improves acute pancreatitis pathological damage by targeting inflammation-related genes such as IL-6, TNF, TGF-β1, and IL-1β. Its mechanism is closely related to regulating cytokine signaling pathways, providing potential drug targets and a theoretical basis for acute pancreatitis treatment.
