[Abstract]
Objective To explore the mechanism of Nuangong Qiwei Pill in treatment of primary dysmenorrhea by network pharmacological methods and to verify the prediction results by animal experiments. Methods The active components of Nuangong Qiwei Pills were screened by using the traditional Chinese Medicine System Pharmacology database and analysis platform (TCMSP), traditional Chinese medicine integrated pharmacology research platform (TCMIP) and online pharmacology database (TCMID) combined with literature reports, and the corresponding targets of the active components were obtained through the Swiss target prediction online platform. The relevant targets of primary dysmenorrhea were obtained by using the database of DisGeNET and GeneCard, the common targets of compounds and diseases were manually screened, the potential common target proteins were uploaded to the Biogrid platform. The protein-protein interaction (PPI) network of drug-disease target was obtained, and the network diagram optimization and topology analysis of PPI network were carried out by using the software of Cytoscape 3.7.2. David 6.8 database was used to analyze the enrichment of Kyoto Encyclopedia of genes and genomes (KEGG) pathway and Gene Ontology (GO) of potential targets. The rat model of dysmenorrhea caused by oxytocin was used to observe the analgesic effect of high, medium and low doses (2.0, 1.0, 0.5 g·kg-1) of Nuangong Qiwei Pills, and the effect of high and low doses (2.0, 0.5 g·kg-1) of Nuangong Qiwei Pills on the expression of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) protein in the uterus of dysmenorrhea rats was observed by Western blotting method, and prostaglandin F2α (PGF2α) level in the uterus of rats in each group was measured. The effects of the aqueous solution of Nuangong Qiwei Pills (22.5, 11.25 mg·mL-1) on the amplitude and frequency of uterine contraction in rats were observed by the tension test of isolated uterine muscles in rats. Results The predicted results of network pharmacology showed that there were 68 potential targets of Nuangong Qiwei Pills in treatment of dysmenorrhea, and the core targets of PPI were IL-6, PTGS2, TNF and TP53. The pathways involved include inflammation related signaling pathways, cancer pathways and estrogen signaling pathways, and the biological functions involved include inflammatory response, biological regulation process of nitric oxide, response to hormones and regulation function of blood vessels. The results of animal experiments showed that compared with the model group, the number of writhing reaction of rats in the high, medium and low dose of Nuangong Qiwei Pills groups and positive drug groups was significantly reduced (P < 0.01, 0.001), and the incubation period of writhing reaction was significantly prolonged (P < 0.01, 0.001). The expression of PTGS2 related protein COX-2 in the uterus of dysmenorrhea model rats in the high, medium and low dose groups of Nuangong Qiwei Pills groups was significantly down regulated (P < 0.001), and the level of PGF2α in the uterus decreased significantly (P < 0.001). The high and low doses of water extract of Nuangong Qiwei Pills had significant inhibitory effects on the amplitude and frequency of uterine contraction in rats (P < 0.001). Conclusion Nuangong Qiwei Pills have therapeutic effect on dysmenorrhea by down regulating PTGS2 target and then regulating uterine muscle tension.
