Further animal studies demonstrated that HSYA treatment alleviated neurological dysfunction in TBI mice by mNSS and foot fault test, and decreased neuronal damage by HE, nissl, and TUNEL staining. HSYA increased the density of cerebral microvessels, raised the expression of angiogenesis marker proteins VEGFA and CD34, and activated the PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway significantly. The angiogenic effects disappeared after the intervention of PI3K antagonist LY294002.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>By applying a novel strategy of integrating network pharmacology of constituents absorbed in blood with metabolomics, the research screened HSYA as one of the top bioactive constituents of XFZYD, which stimulates angiogenesis by activating the PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway after TBI.</p>","PeriodicalId":10266,"journal":{"name":"Chinese Medicine","volume":"19 1","pages":"131"},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2024-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11425933/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142342733","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
