Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of Naxi ethnic medicine, and specifically relates to a Naxi ethnic medicine composition and a traditional Chinese medicine preparation for resisting liver cancer and lung cancer, and applications thereof. Background Art

[0002] As we all know, cancer is the leading cause of death in the world. According to the World Health Organization's 2019 estimate, among 183 countries, cancer ranks first or second in 112 countries and third or fourth in another 23 countries. The top three cancers in terms of incidence are lung cancer, breast cancer, and liver cancer. However, according to the 2020 global cancer statistics, lung cancer is still the leading cause of total cancer deaths, with a mortality rate of about 18%, followed by colorectal cancer (9.4%) and liver cancer (8.3%). There are many ways to treat cancer, including surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, targeted and immunotherapy. However, more and more cancer resistance is caused by chemotherapy and radiotherapy. In addition, chemotherapy and radiotherapy often produce adverse reactions such as mucositis, neurotoxicity and extravasation. Therefore, further research and development of effective anticancer drugs with low toxicity and high efficiency is needed. In order to reduce the adverse reactions of chemotherapy and radiotherapy, traditional Chinese medicine is usually used as an adjuvant therapy. The natural products contained in traditional Chinese medicine can be used to improve the therapeutic effect of chemotherapy, thereby improving the quality of life of patients and prolonging their survival.

[0003] The concept of "network pharmacology" was first proposed by British pharmacologist AL Hopkins. In the present invention, by constructing a "drug-ingredient-target-disease" interaction network, the mechanism of action of traditional Chinese medicine or traditional Chinese medicine prescription is predicted, and the relationship between biological systems and drugs is further revealed, which provides new ideas for the discovery of bioactive substances, mechanism research and new drug development. Traditional Chinese medicine compound is a combination of traditional Chinese medicine produced according to the compatibility principles of traditional Chinese medicine monarch, minister, adjuvant and messenger. The prescription is rigorously matched, which contains rich and complex theoretical inheritance. However, the compatibility rules of traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions are difficult to explain, and its multi-component, multi-target and multi-pathway characteristics are just in line with the research system of network pharmacology. Therefore, the present invention predicts the targets, pathways and active compounds of traditional Chinese medicine compound for the treatment of lung cancer and liver cancer through network pharmacology. Molecular docking is used to evaluate the possibility of interaction between compounds in drugs and human targets, including docking energy and binding form. Finally, in vitro cell experiments are used to further verify the anti-lung cancer and liver cancer effects of the traditional Chinese medicine compound. Summary of the invention

[0081] Disease targets related to liver cancer and lung cancer were collected through the GeneCards database (https: / / www.genecards.org / ), the OMIM database (Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man, https: / / omim.org / ), the TTD database (Therapeutic Target, http: / / db.idrblab.net / ttd / ), and the DrugBank database (https: / / go.drugbank.com / ). The duplicate regions of the gene targets were removed, and the results of the disease targets in the four databases were visualized using a Venn diagram. All disease targets were corrected using the UniProt database. The Venny software was used to intersect the targets corresponding to the active ingredients and the disease targets, and the intersecting targets were the anticancer treatment targets of the prescription.

[0082] 1.3 Construction of the “drug-ingredient-target-disease” interaction network.

[0083] The anticancer therapeutic targets of the prescription were entered into the String database (https: / / string-db.org / ), and the protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was constructed using Cytoscape 3.7.1 software. The topological parameters of all nodes in the network diagram were calculated at the same time, and the node screening conditions were determined: degree, betweenness and other parameters were selected as the screening conditions for core nodes, and the top 20 anticancer targets and core active ingredients in the prescription were selected to construct a "drug-ingredient-target-disease" interaction network diagram.

[0084] 1.4GO and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis.

[0085] The core targets were analyzed by GO functional analysis and KEGG pathway analysis using the Metascape database (https: / / metascape.org), with the species set to "Homo Sapiens" and the P value cutoff value of 0.01. The top 20 GO biological processes and KEGG signaling pathways were selected based on the P value and visualized.

[0086] 1.5 Molecular docking analysis.

[0087] First, the 2D structure of the main active ingredient (ligand) of the prescription for cancer treatment was downloaded from the PubChem (https: / / pubchem.ncbi.nIm.nih.gov / ) website, and the 3D structure of the small molecule ligand was drawn using the Chemoffice software. Secondly, the protein name corresponding to the core gene was found using the Uniprot (https: / / www.uniprot.org / ) website, and the protein name was used to find the three-dimensional structure of the protein receptor of the gene from the PDB protein database (http: / / www.rcsb.org / ). Finally, the Autodock software was used to calculate and obtain the binding energy and binding site of the protein receptor and the small molecule ligand, and the docking results were visualized and analyzed using the PyMOL software, and finally the molecular docking conformation was obtained.

[0088] 2. Results.

[0089] 2.1 Information on the main active ingredients and potential targets of the prescription.

[0090] Through the TCMSP database, BATMAN-TCM database and literature, the main active ingredients of 176 prescriptions were obtained. In terms of the active ingredients contained in a single drug, there are 5 Paris polyphylla (CL), 3 Panax notoginseng (ZZS), 41 Panax notoginseng (SQ), 19 Fritillaria cirrhosa (CBM), 7 Ice ball seeds (DSL), 1 Jissa sutchuenensis (JTS), 40 American ginseng (XYS), 12 bamboo fungus (ZJ), 9 Panax notoginseng (QYS), 39 Glycyrrhiza uralensis (GC), and 14 Gastrodia elata (TM). At the same time, the present invention also obtained a total of 1133 potential gene targets corresponding to these 176 main active compounds. The traditional Chinese medicine-compound-target network diagram was constructed using Cytoscape software, with a total of 1314 nodes and 4284 edges, as shown in Figure 2. Figure 1 shown.

[0091] 2.2 Disease target screening and component-disease target cross-collection.

[0092] Using "liver cancer" and "lung cancer" as keywords, we searched for disease targets from GeneCards, OMIM, TTD, and DrugBank databases. After merging the data from the four databases and deleting duplicate data, we screened out 4,928 liver cancer disease targets and 6,352 lung cancer disease targets, respectively. Then, we drew the combined targets of prescriptions and diseases through Venn diagrams, and obtained 583 intersection targets between liver cancer and prescriptions, and 658 intersection targets between lung cancer and prescriptions.

[0093] 2.3 Construction and analysis of the prescription “drug-ingredient-target-disease” network.

[0094] The cross-targets of cancer treatment through prescriptions were obtained from the String database and Cytoscape software to obtain the “drug-ingredient-target-disease” network diagram, which contains 880 nodes and 21,023 edges, such as Figure 2 As shown. Key targets were collected according to degree sorting. The larger the degree, the darker the color and the larger the node shape. The average node degree was 47.780, and the average local clustering coefficient was 0.425. The network analysis was performed using Cytoscape software. The top 20 targets by degree are shown in Table 1, which are mainly related to liver cancer apoptosis.

[0095] Table 1 Names of the top 20 targets by degree

[0096]

[0097] The interaction diagrams of the top 20 key targets and the anticancer active ingredients of the prescription were obtained by Cytoscape software, such as Figure 4 As shown in Table 2. Node size and color depth indicate degree. The larger the node, the darker the color and the larger the degree value. Among them, red represents 11 kinds of traditional Chinese medicine; green represents the top 20 anticancer targets in the prescription degree; purple CF1, CF2, CF3 and CF10 represent 4 repeated compounds in the 11 kinds of traditional Chinese medicine; orange represents the top 35 compounds found in the prescription ranked by degree value, as shown in Table 2.

[0098] Table 2 Top 35 active ingredients in prescriptions

[0099]

[0100] 2.4 Biological function and pathway analysis.

[0101] The GO and KEGG enrichment analysis of the top 20 anti-cancer targets of the prescription was performed using the Metscape database. The results are as follows Figure 5 As shown in Figure 2, GO enrichment analysis results showed that 771 biological processes (biological process, BP, Figure 5 Middle A), 39 cellular components (cellular component, CC, Figure 5 Middle B), 45 molecular function (molecular function, MF, Figure 5 Middle C). There are 128 pathways in KEGG enrichment analysis ( Figure 5 D, Table 3). The top 20 data of BP, CC, MF, and GO were analyzed and visualized according to the p-value ( Figure 5 , Table 3). Figure 5In the figure, the size of the dots indicates the number of enriched targets. The larger the dots, the more enriched targets. In addition, the significance of enrichment can be predicted by the color depth of the dots. The redder the color of the dots, the smaller the p-value, and the greater the significance of enrichment.

[0102] From the enrichment results, BP mainly includes positive regulation of epithelial cell proliferation, positive regulation of transferase activity, and positive regulation of gland development. These positive regulations are closely related to the regulation of cell apoptosis, proliferation, phosphorylation, enzyme activity, DNA, miRNA metabolism and transcription process ( Figure 5 (A). CC mainly involves transcriptional regulatory complexes, transcriptional repression complexes, membrane rafts, membrane microdomains and euchromatin ( Figure 5 (B). The changes in MF are mainly reflected in DNA binding, transcription factor binding, kinase binding, transcription factor binding, transcription factor binding, and nitric oxide synthase regulator activity ( Figure 5 C). The signal pathway enrichment results of the Metascape database showed that there were 4 signal pathways: PI3K-Akt, MAPK, thyroid hormone and AGE-RAGE; there were 6 cancer-related signal pathways: including cancer, breast cancer, colorectal cancer, prostate cancer, endometrial cancer, and bladder cancer; 3 related viral infection pathways included human cytomegalovirus infection, Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpes virus infection, and human papillomavirus infection. However, the KEGG enrichment pathway results showed that the prescription was directly related to hepatitis C and hepatitis B ( Figure 5 D, Table 3). In summary, based on the above results, the anticancer process of the prescription may involve multiple pathways, multiple targets, multiple biological processes, multiple molecular functions and cellular components.

[0103] Furthermore, a “compound-target-pathway” diagram was constructed using Cytoscape software ( Figure 6 ), visual analysis of interactions between active ingredients, top 20 potential targets, and pathways. Figure 6 It contains 75 nodes and 294 edges, among which green nodes represent the top 20 hub genes, blue nodes represent pathways related to the target, and orange nodes represent active compounds related to the target. The larger the node shape, the darker the color, and the greater the degree value. The results of network diagram analysis show that there are complex correlations between different compounds, targets, and pathways. Among them, the network diagrams of "single target-multiple pathways", "single pathway-multiple targets", "single target-multiple compounds", and "single compound-multiple targets" have clear visual relationships.

[0105]

[0106] 2.5 Analysis of molecular docking results.

[0107] Small molecule active ingredients in drug prescriptions are usually called ligands, while target proteins in the human body are usually called receptors. Molecular docking is used to evaluate the possibility of interaction between ligands and receptors. Generally speaking, whether a ligand can bind to a receptor is mainly evaluated by binding energy. If the binding energy is less than 0, it indicates that the ligand and receptor can bind spontaneously.

[0108] The present invention selected three core proteins with high affinity against liver cancer, namely EGFR, TP53 and AKT1, and carried out molecular docking with 32 active compounds. These three targets are all related to the signaling pathways of cancer, MAPK, PI3K-Akt and hepatitis B. Both TP53 and AKT1 targets are related to the signaling pathway of hepatitis C. The binding energy results are shown in Tables 4, 5 and 6. The results showed that the 32 active ingredients BWY have strong binding ability with the three core target proteins. Among them, the binding abilities of three compounds (CBM16, CBM9 and ZJ2) with the three targets (EGFR, TP53 and AKT1) ranked in the top five respectively. All of them are located in the active pockets of the targets, and most of them are bound by hydrogen bonds. The molecular docking results of the three active compounds with the three core targets were visualized using PyMol software, as shown in the figure. Figure 7 shown.

[0117] In summary, after performing network pharmacology analysis on the composition of the prescription of the present invention, it was found that it can play an interventional therapeutic role on multiple pathways and multiple targets of cancer occurrence.

[0118] 2. Analyze the anti-cancer efficacy of the prescription based on cell experiments.

[0119] 1Methods and steps.

[0120] 1.1 Evaluation of cell proliferation activity of prescription extracts.

[0121] The Cell Counting Kit (CCK-8) method was used to evaluate the inhibitory activity of the prescription on cell proliferation, and the half-maximal inhibitory concentration IC50 value was determined by single-concentration activity screening and multiple-concentration determination.

[0122] The experimental steps are as follows:

[0123] (1) Inoculation of cells: Prepare a single cell suspension of cells using culture medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum, and inoculate 90 μL of 5×10 cells per well of a 96-well plate. 4 / mL of adherent cells and 9×10 4 / mL of suspension cells were pre-cultured at 5% CO2 and 37°C for 24h.

[0124] (2) Add the sample solution to be tested: add 10 μL of sample solution to each well. For the initial screening of activity, set one concentration for each sample and set three replicate wells; for IC50 determination, set eight concentrations and set three replicate wells for each concentration; place in an incubator and culture for 48 hours. The experiment sets up a blank group (Blank), a control group (Control), and a drug group (Drug).

[0125] (3) Color development: Aspirate the old culture medium and drug solution from adherent cells (add 10 μL CCK-8 stock solution directly to suspended cells), add 100 μL CCK-8 solution diluted ten times to each well, and continue culturing at 37°C, 5% CO2 for 1-4 h (keep away from light and observe in real time).

[0126] (4) Detection: Measure the absorbance at 450 nm using an enzyme-labeled instrument and record the raw data results.

[0127] (5) The original data were standardized using Excel software, and the cell proliferation inhibition rate was calculated by the OD value of each well in the initial screening (formula = (OD Control -OD Drug ) / (OD Control -OD Blank )×100%), and the inhibition rate was statistically analyzed. IC50 was calculated by GraphPadPrism 8 (version 8.0.2, GraphPad Software Inc), and the experimental results were expressed as ±SD.

[0148] 1.3 Effect of medicinal extracts on mitochondrial membrane potential of liver cancer cells.

[0149] The mitochondrial membrane potential detection kit (JC-1, Bio-Tech, catalog number C2006) was used to detect the effect of the prescription on the mitochondrial membrane potential of liver cancer cells.

[0150] The experimental steps are as follows:

[0151] (1) Preheat the culture medium used in the cell subculture process in a 37°C water bath.

[0152] (2) Take out the HepG2 cell culture dish from the 37°C 5% CO2 incubator, digest with trypsin, and repeatedly pipette and transfer the cell suspension into a 15 mL centrifuge tube.

[0153] (3) The cells counted were divided into 10 5 / well, inoculated in a 24-well white transparent bottom cell plate, 500 μL / well; three replicates were made for each experimental group. The cell plate was placed in a 37°C, 5% CO2 incubator for incubation.

[0154] (4) After adhesion, the culture medium in the wells was discarded and 500 μL of serum-free culture medium was added to each well for starvation treatment for 24 h.

[0155] (5) After starvation, the liquid in the wells was discarded, and the cell culture plates were administered drugs according to the drug concentrations required by the experiment (three concentrations, namely: 0.125, 0.25, and 0.5 mg / mL, one control group, and one positive control drug DOX, with three replicate wells in each group), and placed in a 37°C, 5% CO2 incubator for 24 h.

[0156] (6) After the incubation is completed, discard the supernatant and add JC-1 staining solution according to the instructions of the Mitochondrial Membrane Potential Assay Kit (JC-1). Incubate at 37°C for about 20 minutes. After the incubation is completed, remove the supernatant and wash twice with JC-1 staining buffer (1X).

[0159] 2Results.

[0160] 2.1 Evaluation results of cell proliferation activity of the Chinese herbal extracts (YF-W) and (YF-A) of the present invention.

[0161] The CCK-8 method was used to evaluate the cell proliferation activity of the extracts of the prescription at different concentrations. The results showed that compared with the positive control group, YF-A significantly inhibited the growth of tumor cells in a dose-dependent manner ( Figure 8 ). To obtain the optimal inhibitory concentration, the IC50 values ​​were calculated, see Table 7. The IC50 values ​​of YF-A against A549 human non-small cell lung cancer cells, NCI-H1581 human non-small cell lung cancer cells, and HepG2 human liver cancer cells were 0.3833 mg / mL, 0.7682 mg / mL, and 0.2509 mg / mL, respectively, and the YF-W part was inactive. These results indicate that the ethanol extract of the prescription inhibits the cell proliferation of lung cancer cell lines by inhibiting the MAPK and PI3K-Akt signaling pathways. The inhibitory effects of YF-A and DOX on liver cancer cells (HepG2) are shown in Figure 7. Figure 8 As shown, the results showed that YF-A had a significant inhibitory effect on liver cancer cells (HepG2) in a concentration-dependent manner.

[0162] Combined with the previous network pharmacology and molecular docking results, the present invention uses 6 main active compounds (CBM9-Verticinone, CBM16-Solanidine, SQ7-Quercetin, CF3-Ginsenoside Rh2, CL2-Diosgenin, CL3-Pennogenin) to further test its inhibitory effect on liver cancer cells (HepG2). The results are shown in Table 8. The 6 core active compounds all showed obvious inhibitory effects on HepG2 cell lines, and had obvious dose dependence. The results showed that the determination results of these 6 central active components were consistent with the predictions of network pharmacology.

[0166]

[0167] 2.2 The effects of the Chinese herbal extract YF-A of the present invention on the cell cycle and apoptosis of liver cancer cells.

[0168] PI staining and flow cytometry were used to detect the effects of the prescription on the cell cycle and apoptosis of liver cancer cells. Fig. 9 As shown. The cell cycle results showed that YF-A could induce cell cycle arrest in the G2 / M phase of liver cancer HepG2 cells, and it was concentration-dependent. The apoptosis results showed that YF-A could induce apoptosis in liver cancer HepG2 cells, and it was concentration-dependent.

[0169] 2.3 The results of the effect of the Chinese herbal extract YF-A of the present invention on the mitochondrial membrane potential of liver cancer cells.

[0170] The mitochondrial membrane potential detection kit (JC-1) and an inverted fluorescence microscope (Olympus, IX70) were used to detect the effect of the prescription on the mitochondrial membrane potential of liver cancer cells. Fig.10 The cell cycle results show that the Chinese herbal extract YF-A of the present invention can reduce the mitochondrial membrane potential of liver cancer HepG2 cells, and as the drug concentration increases, the mitochondrial membrane potential tends to decrease.

[0171] In summary, the main core compounds, targets and pathways of the prescription in the treatment of cancer were predicted by network pharmacology, and the molecular docking experiment further verified that the prescription treated cancer (mainly lung cancer and liver cancer) through multi-target-multi-pathway-multi-component. Further, through a series of experiments such as cell proliferation activity, cell cycle, cell apoptosis, mitochondrial membrane potential, it was found that the Chinese medicine extract YF-A of the present invention has the effect of promoting cancer cell apoptosis. The results show that the Chinese medicine extract YF-A of the present invention has anti-cancer efficacy.
