Abstract
Danggui blood-supplementing decoction (DBsD) is an herbal preparation treating several diseases including stroke. The present study sought to investigate the potential mechanism of DBsD in ischaemic stroke (IS) using network pharmacology, molecular docking, and cell experiment. Based on the protein-protein (PPI) network analysis, MAPK1 (0.51, 12), KNG1 (0.57, 28), and TNF (0.64, 39) were found with relatively good performance in degree and closeness centrality. The functional enrichment analysis revealed that DBsD contributed to IS-related biological processes, molecule function, and presynaptic/postsynaptic cellular components. Pathway enrichment indicated that DBsD might protect IS by modulating multi-signalling pathways including the sphingolipid signalling pathway. Molecular docking verified the stigmasterol-KNG1, bifendate-TNF, and formononetin-MAPK1 pairs. Cell experiments confirmed the involvement of KNG1 and sphingolipid signalling pathway in hippocampal neuronal cell apoptosis. This study showed that DBsD can protect neuronal cell injury after IS through multiple components, multiple targets, and multiple pathways.
