Objective To investigate the mechanism of Ganmao Qingre Pills (GQP) against lung injury based on network pharmacology,molecular docking and in vivo experiments. Methods The potential targets of GQP in the treatment of lung injury were screened through traditional Chinese medicine systems pharmacology database and analysis platform (TCM-SP) and Genecards. A “Chinese medicine-active ingredients-targets” network was constructed using Cytoscape 3.9.0 software,then gene ontology (GO) function and Kyoto encyclopaedia of genes and genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis for potential targets were conducted using a bioinformatics cloud platform. We established a protein-protein interaction (PPI) network,which was intersected with “Chinese medicine-active ingredients-targets” network to obtain core targets. The molecular docking between key target proteins and active ingredients was performed. The effect of GQP on these key target proteins was verified by using a mouse model of lung injury. Results A total of 707 targets for the treatment of lung injury by GQP were identified, corresponding to 107 active ingredients in 11 Chinese medicines. It was found that GQP might regulate targets such as PTGS1, AR, and ACHE through active ingredients including stigmasterol, luteolin, and acacetin using the "Chinese medicine-active ingredients-targets" network analysis. Core targets such as SRC,EGFR,and STAT3 were discovered by using the PPI network. Key target proteins,including CDK1,CDK2,EGFR,ESR1 and SRC,were screened through the intersection analysis of the PPI network and “Chinese medicine-active ingredients-targets” network. Molecular docking study showed that stigmasterol, luteolin and acacetin had good binding effects with CDK1,CDK2,EGFR,ESR1,and SRC,respectively. In vivo experiments revealed that GQP dose-dependently attenuated lung injury and inflammatory infiltration,reduced the release of pro-inflammatory factors TNF-α,IL-1β and IL-6,increased the expression of CDK1 and CDK2,and decreased the expression of EGFR,ESR1 and SRC in lung injury mice. Conclusion The therapeutic effect of GQP against lung injury may be achieved through interaction of key active ingredients (stigmasterol, luteolin, and acacetin) and key target proteins (CDK1, CDK2, EGFR, ESR1, SRC), and regulation of key signaling pathways such as neuroactive ligand-receptor interactions,cancer pathways,and calcium signaling pathways.
