Objective To explore the mechanism of Huangxiong Formula (HXF) in treatment of ischemic stroke (IS) based on GEO chip combined with network pharmacology, and to verify its pharmacodynamics and core targets by using the rat ischemiareperfusion (I/R) model.Methods The active ingredients of HXF were searched by using the TCMSP database and the literature, and their corresponding targets were searched by using the Swiss Target Prediction database. GEO platform IS dataset GSE16561 was used for variance analysis by R software limma package. The Venny 2.1.0 was used to perform intersection target analysis, and the DAVID database GO and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis on intersection target. Cytoscape 3.9.0 software was used to construct the components-target-pathway network and screen the core ingredients, and the STRING database and Cytoscape 3.9.0 software was used to construct the protein-protein interaction (PPI) network and screen the core target genes. The top ranked components and target genes based on the degree values were molecularly docked using PyMOL software. Immuno-infiltration analysis was performed by single sample Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (ssGSEA). A rat model of cerebral I/R was prepared by the wire bolus method. Totally 69 rats were randomly divided into the model group, the Huanxiong Formula (3.6 g·kg^-1) group and the aspirin (9 mg·kg^-1) group, except for the sham-operated group (n=21). Huanxiong Formula and Aspirin groups were given ig once a day, and equal amount of saline was given to the sham-operated and model groups ig for 7 d. The rats were scored for neurobehaviour using the Longa grading scale. TTC staining was used to determine the volume of brain infarction in the rats. Immunohistochemical staining was used to detect positive expression of ion calcium junction protein molecule 1 (Iba1). The levels of tumour necrosis factor α (TNF-α), interleukin 1β (IL-1β) and interleukin 6 (IL-6) in brain tissue was measured by ELISA. The expression of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3), hypoxia inducible factor 1A (HIF1A), myeloperoxidase (MPO) and matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP9) mRNA in rat brain tissue was measured by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR (qRT-PCR).Results A total of 35 active ingredients, 754 component targets, 677 differentially expressed genes on IS gene chips and 56 intersecting targets of the HXF was screened. GO enrichment analysis indicated that HXF treatment of IS was associated with biological processes such as inflammatory response, response to lipopolysaccharide and cyclooxygenase pathway. KEGG pathway analysis showed that the main signaling pathways were involved in Metabolic pathways, Neutrophil extracellular trap formation and HIF-1 signaling pathway, etc. The top 5 core components such alpha-asarone, 3, 4, 5-trimethoxycinnamic acid, betaasarone, isoferulic acid and ferulic acid were screened, and top 5 targets TLR4, STAT3, HIF1A, MPO, and MMP9. The molecular docking results showed that the core components have stable binding ability to the core targets. Immune infiltration indicated that core target genes were closely related to neutrophil, activated B cell, natural killer cell and mast cell, etc. In vivo experiments showed that Huanxiong Formula significantly reduced the neurobehavioural scores, brain infarct volume, brain histopathological damage and expression of inflammatory factors in brain tissue of I/R rats, and its regulatory effects on mRNA expression of five core target genes were verified in brain tissue.Conclusion Huangxiong Formula may be a multi-component, multi-target and multi-pathway treatment for ischemic stroke, which may exert therapeutic effects through the core targets of TLR4, STAT3, HIF1A, MPO and MMP9.
