Abstract
Banxia Xiexin decoration (BXD), a complex prescription in Traditional Chinese
Medicine (TCM), clinically acts as a treatment for gastritis and diabetes while its mechanism of
treatment remains unknown.
This study aimed to explore the common mechanism of BXD in treating gastritis and
diabetes based on network pharmacology and molecular docking technology.
The seven Chinese herbal components and drug targets were collected from the Traditional
Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology Database and Analysis Platform (TCMSP) for gastritis and
diabetes using GeneCards, DisGeNET, Comparative Toxicogenomics Database (CTD), and Online
Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM) databases. Common drug and disease targets were imported
into the STRING data platform for protein-protein interaction (PPI) analysis, and Cytoscape 3.7.2
software for network topology analysis, and core targets were filtered.
There were 124 components, 249 targets, 449 targets for gastritis, and 4005 targets for diabetes.
After mapping, 83 BXD targets for gastritis and diabetes were obtained, and the targets with
high correlation were STAT 3, JUN, TNF, IL-6, etc. More relevant targets were involved in the cancer
pathway, AGE-RAGE signaling pathway of diabetic complications, fluid shear stress, and atherosclerosis
pathway.
This study preliminarily reveals that BXD may play a role in the treatment of gastritis
and diabetes mellitus through multi-components, multi-targets, and multi-pathways, and proposes
some potential "component-target-pathway" hypotheses in light of previous reports.
