[Abstract]
Objective To analyze the mechanism of Kunxian Capsules in the treatment of ankylosing spondylitis (AS) based on network pharmacology,SMR and molecular docking. Methods The active components and targets of Kunxian Capsules were collected by TCMSP,BATMAN and SwissTargetPrediction databases. GeneCards,OMIM,DrugBank, DisGeNet and TTD databases were screened to obtain the relevant targets of AS,and Venny 2.1.0 was used to draw the Venn diagram to obtain the potential targets of Kunxian Capsules in the treatment of AS. Cytoscape 3.7.1 was used to construct the ‘Kunxian Capsules-active ingredients-targets of action-AS’ network, and screening key active ingredients according to topological parameters. The potential targets of Kunxian Capsules for the treatment of AS were uploaded to the STRING platform to construct the protein-protein interaction (PPI) network, and imported into Cytoscape 3.7.1 to screen the core targets. The expression quantitative trait locus (eQTL) of core targets was used as an instrumental variable and AS as the outcome,the potential causal relationship between the expression levels of core targets and the risk of AS was assessed using Summary-data-based Mendelian Randomization(SMR) analysis to explore new targets for AS treatment. Metascape was used for GO and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis. Molecular docking was performed using AutoDockTools 1.5.7 and QuickVina-W software,and visualization was performed using PyMOL 2.6.0 software. Results A total of 179 active ingredients were identified in Kunxian Capsules for the treatment of AS. The key active ingredients included quercetin,kaempferol,cholesterol,β-sitosterol,liquiritigenin,magnoflorine,etc. The core targets include TNF,IL1B,GAPDH,STAT3,EGFR,etc. SMR analysis showed that TNF,JAK2 and ABHD16A were significantly associated with AS, but TNF had a linkage effect. GO enrichment results involved inflammatory response,cell response to nitrogen compounds,exogenous stimulation response,etc. KEGG enrichment analysis mainly involved Th17 cell differentiation, chemokine signaling pathway, PI3K/Akt and other signaling pathways. Molecular docking showed that the core targets and the core active ingredients had strong docking activity. Conclusion Kunxian Capsules may act on key targets such as TNF,IL1B,GAPDH,STAT3 and EGFR through its key active components such as quercetin,kaempferol,cholesterol,β-sitosterol and liquiritigenin,and regulate Th17 cell differentiation, chemokines, PI3K/Akt and other key signaling pathways to treat AS, JAK2, ABHD16A gene expression levels are causally associated with the risk of developing AS and ABHD16A may be a potential therapeutic target for AS.
