[Abstract]
Objective To investigate the mechanism of Danggui Buxue Decoction (DBD) against diabetic nephropathy (DN) based on network pharmacology, molecular docking and cell experiments. Methods Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology Database and Analysis Platform (TCMSP) and the Traditional Chinese Medicine Integrated Database (TCMID) were used to screen the active components of Astragalus membranaceus and Angelica sinensis in DBD. Potential targets of these active compounds were identified using the UniProt and Swiss Target Prediction databases. Disease-related targets of DN were retrieved from GeneCards and OMIM. Protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks and a "drug-active component-target" network were constructed using the STRING database and visualized with Cytoscape. Functional enrichment analysis, including Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis, was performed using the DAVID database. The key findings were further validated through molecular docking and in vitro cell experiments. Results Network pharmacology analysis identified 32 active components in DBD and 255 overlapping targets associated with DN. KEGG pathway enrichment revealed that the core targets were primarily involved in the AGE/RAGE (advanced glycation end products/receptor for AGEs) signaling pathway, atherosclerosis pathways linked to lipid metabolism disorders, and other critical pathways related to immune response and inflammatory processes. Molecular docking studies demonstrated strong binding affinities between the major bioactive compounds of DBD and key targets in the AGE/RAGE pathway. In vitro experiments confirmed that DBD significantly attenuated high glucose-induced inflammatory responses in HK-2 cells and suppressed the expression of core proteins in the AGE/RAGE signaling pathway. Conclusion DBD may exert therapeutic effects against diabetic nephropathy by inhibiting the AGE/RAGE signaling pathway, thereby alleviating hyperglycemia-induced inflammation. These findings provide a scientific foundation for further research into the pharmacological mechanisms of DBD in DN treatment.
