[Abstract]
Objective To explore the efficacy and mechanism of action of Dendrobium huoshanense in treating liver injury using network pharmacology, molecular docking, and in vivo experiments.Methods China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), PubChem, and other databases were utilized to identify the components of D. huoshanense. Treatment-related genes for liver injury were selected through the GeneCards databases. After intersecting the component targets with disease genes, a protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was constructed. Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment analysis and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis was performed. A "Drug-Compound-Target" network was established using Cytoscape, and key active components and core targets were docked using AutoDock Tools. An ethanol-induced liver injury mouse model was developed. Liver pathology sections were observed, and levels of aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor- α (TNF- α) in serum were measured. The expression of related genes in the liver of alcoholic liver injury mice treated with an aqueous extract of D. huoshanense was detected through realtime fluorescence quantitative reverse transcription PCR (qRT-PCR) to assess the impact on alcoholic liver injury mice mice.Results A total of 33 active components were identified in D. huoshanense, correlating with 224 common targets for liver injury, including Akt, EGFR, SRC, and others, involving pathways like cancer and the PI3K/Akt pathway. In vivo experiments showed that the aqueous extract of D. huoshanense could alleviate liver injury in alcoholic liver injury mice. It significantly reduced levels of ALT, AST, TNF-α, and IL-6 (P < 0.01) and markedly downregulated the expression of IκB kinase (IKK), nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) and protein kinase B (Akt) (P < 0.01).Conclusion Network pharmacology analysis and animal experimental results preliminary demonstrate that the aqueous extract of D. huoshanense can modulate the inflammatory response in the alcohol liver disease pathways by downregulating the expression levels of Akt, IKK, and NF-κB (P < 0.01), thus improving ethanol-induced liver injury. It is suggested that D. huoshanense has the potential effect of improving alcoholic liver disease and provides a reference for revealing the mechanism of D. huoshanense in treating liver injury.
