Abstract

Objective: To investigate the ameliorative effects and mechanisms of Jian'er Qiangshen (JEQS) ointment on asthma.

Methods: Twenty-four BALB/c mice were randomly and equally divided into four groups: blank control, ovalbumin (OVA), OVA + dexamethasone (DXMS), and OVA + JEQS. Lung tissue sections were isolated for H&E and Masson staining, and inflammatory factor levels were measured. Ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UHPLC-TOF-MS) was employed to analyze and identify blood components in mice following intragastric administration of JEQS extract. Network pharmacology analysis was subsequently utilized to predict the pharmacological targets and mechanisms of JEQS in asthma treatment. 16S rRNA sequencing was conducted to determine bacterial community composition and diversity.

Results: Animal experiments indicated that compared to the OVA group, the OVA + drug groups (DXMS and JEQS) exhibited milder asthma symptoms and significantly improved pathological changes. JEQS significantly reduced IFN-γ, IL-4, IL-5, and IL-13 levels in lung tissue.

Conclusions: Through network pharmacology and 16S rRNA sequencing, JEQS ointment was found to alleviate asthma-related inflammatory responses and improve asthma symptoms via multi-target mechanisms and modulation of intestinal microbiota. Network pharmacology revealed 28 effective components in JEQS for asthma treatment, with α-linolenic acid, 9-oxononanoic acid, inosine, linoleic acid, and amygdalin as primary active constituents. One hundred core targets were identified, including AKT1, IL-6, ALB, TNF, and MAPK3. 16S rRNA sequencing demonstrated increased proportions of Proteobacteria and Actinobacteria following JEQS treatment. Probiotics such as Clostridium, Escherichia, Bacteroides, and Candidatus Saccharimonas became dominant microbiota.

健儿强肾膏抑制肺部炎症及调节肠道菌群治疗支气管哮喘。
目的:探讨健儿强肾软膏(JEQS)对哮喘的改善作用及其机制。方法:将24只BALB/c小鼠随机等分分为空白对照、卵清蛋白(OVA)组、卵清蛋白+地塞米松(DXMS)组和卵清蛋白+ JEQS组。分离肺组织切片进行H&E和Masson染色,检测炎症因子水平。采用超高效液相色谱-飞行时间质谱法(UHPLC-TOF-MS)对小鼠灌胃JEQS提取物后的血液成分进行分析和鉴定。随后利用网络药理学分析预测JEQS治疗哮喘的药理学靶点和机制。16S rRNA测序测定细菌群落组成及多样性。结果:动物实验显示,与OVA组相比,OVA +药物组(DXMS和JEQS)哮喘症状较轻,病理改变明显改善。JEQS显著降低肺组织中IFN-γ、IL-4、IL-5和IL-13水平。结论:通过网络药理学和16S rRNA测序,发现JEQS软膏通过多靶点机制和调节肠道菌群,缓解哮喘相关炎症反应,改善哮喘症状。网络药理学结果显示,JEQS治疗哮喘的有效成分有28种,主要活性成分为α-亚麻酸、9-氧壬酸、肌苷、亚油酸和苦杏仁苷。鉴定出100个核心靶点,包括AKT1、IL-6、ALB、TNF和MAPK3。16S rRNA测序显示,JEQS处理后变形菌门和放线菌门的比例增加。益生菌如梭状芽孢杆菌、埃希氏杆菌、拟杆菌和糖假单胞菌成为优势菌群。
