Objective To establish high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) Fingerprints for Abrus cantoniensis and A. mollis, comparison of chemical composition differences among different batches of A. cantoniensis and A. mollis samples, quantitative determination of vicenin-2 and schaftoside, combined with network pharmacology and in vitro experiments to preliminary explore the rationality of co-use of A. cantoniensis and A. mollis and the potential mechanism of anti-hepatocellular carcinoma.Methods The HPLC method was used with an Ultimate^Ⓡ AQ-C₁₈ column (250 mm×4.6 mm, 5 μm), a mobile phase of methanol-water solution, gradient elution; flow rate of 1.0 mL·min^-1; detection at 270 nm, 30 ℃. Fingerprints for 12 batches of A. cantoniensis and six batches of A. mollis were established and evaluated for similarity and characteristic peak matching. Combined with Cluster Analysis (CA), principal component analysis (PCA), and orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA), the differential characteristic components of A. cantoniensis and A. mollis were determined, and two of these components were quantitatively measured. Active components of A. cantoniensis and their potential targets were screened through the Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology Database and Analysis Platform (TCMSP), and liver cancer-related targets were screened using the GeneCards database, with common targets obtained through venn diagram analysis. Based on common targets, Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analyses were conducted to reveal key pathways of A. cantoniensis in treating liver cancer. The STRING 11.5 database was used to construct a protein-protein interaction (PPI) network of target proteins, and an active component-target-pathway network was built to identify main active components. The MTT method was used to determine the optimal dosage of A. cantoniensis ethanol extract (ACEE) for HepG2 cells, and real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR (qRT-PCR) was used to detect the expression levels of the top five mRNA.Results Fingerprints for 12 batches of A. cantoniensis and 6 batches of A. mollis samples were established, with ten common peaks calibrated and five main characteristic peaks identified: peak 1 as abrine, peak 2 as hypaphorine, peak 5 as vicenin-2, peak 8 as schaftoside, and peak 9 as isoschaftoside. Chemical pattern recognition identified components represented by peaks 3, 5 (vicenin-2), 6, 7, 8 (schaftoside), and 9 (isoschaftoside) as differential markers distinguishing different batch samples, with mass fractions of vicenin-2 and schaftoside ranging from 0.05—4.36 mg·g^-1 and 0.10—4.34 mg·g^-1, respectively, showing significant differences among batches. Network pharmacology combined with fingerprint identification confirmed nine active components and 265 potential targets, with 130 common targets related to liver cancer. KEGG yielded 112 signaling pathways, mainly involving cancer pathways, lipid and atherosclerosis pathways, etc. Five key liver cancer targets were screened based on the active component-target-pathway network. According to MTT results, 0.25 mg·mL^-1 ACEE was selected for qRT-PCR, compared with the control group, the mRNA expression levels of key targets AKT1, PIK3CA, STAT3, BCL2 and GSK3B were significantly decreased (P＜0.001).Conclusion The established HPLC fingerprint and content determination method are simple and feasible. The key targets screened by network pharmacology have been verified by in vitro experiments to be closely related to the effect of A. cantoniensis in the treatment of liver cancer, providing a reference for the quality control and the study of its pharmacological mechanisms.
