Objective To investigate the molecular mechanism of tetrandrine in the treatment of severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) based on network pharmacology and animal experiments. Methods (1) The targets of tetrandrine were obtained by Swiss Target Prediction and BATMAN-TCM data retrieval,and the disease targets of SAP were obtained by GeneCards,OMIM,DisGeNet and PharmGkb database retrieval. The intersection of the two was drawn and the Venn diagram was drawn to obtain the potential targets of tetrandrine in the treatment of SAP (common targets). The potential target protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was constructed by String database to screen key targets. GO function and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis of potential targets were performed using David and KOBAS databases. (2) Kunming mice were randomly divided into blank control group,model group and tetrandrine group,with 10 mice in each group. The mice in the model group and the tetrandrine group were given intraperitoneal injection of 20% L-arginine (3.5 g·kg-1 ) twice at an interval of 1 hour to replicate the SAP mouse model. At 4 hours after the last injection of L-arginine,the tetrandrine group was given intraperitoneal injection of tetrandrine solution (120 mg·kg-1 ), twice a day for 3 consecutive days. The ratio of pancreas to body was calculated;serum amylase level was detected by automatic biochemical analyzer;HE staining was used to observe the pathological changes of pancreatic tissue,and the scores were scored from three aspects : tissue edema , inflammation and necrosis. The expressions of IL-6 and p-STAT3 in pancreatic tissue was observed by immunohistochemistry. The protein expression levels of IL-6,p-STAT3 and STAT3 in pancreatic tissue were detected by Western Blot. Results (1) A total of 24 potential targets of tetrandrine in the treatment of SAP were obtained,AKT1,ERBB2,SRC,MTOR,PIK3CA,CXCR4 and JAK2 were the key targets. The biological process of GO functional analysis mainly involves the negative regulation of protein autophosphorylation,peptide-tyrosine phosphorylation,protein phosphorylation and apoptosis. KEGG pathway mainly involves PI3K-Akt,JAK-STAT,TLR Rap1 and FoxO signaling pathways,etc.(2)Compared with the blank control group,the pancreatic structure of the mice in the model group was significantly damaged,with a large number of acinar cells degeneration and necrosis,only a small number of dispersed acinar cells,high interstitial edema,and a large number of inflammatory cell infiltration. The pancreatic tissue edema score, inflammation score, necrosis score, overall score,relative value of pancreatic body ratio and serum amylase level were significantly increased (P<0.01). A large number of IL-6 and p-STAT3 positive expressions were observed in the pancreatic interstitium of mice,and the protein expression levels of IL-6 and p-STAT3/STAT3 were significantly increased (P<0.01). Compared with the model group,the degree of pancreatic structural damage in the tetrandrine group was significantly reduced,the scope of acinar cell necrosis was significantly reduced,the degree of interstitial edema was reduced,and only a small amount of inflammatory cell infiltration was observed. The pancreatic tissue edema score,inflammation score,necrosis score, overall score,relative value of pancreatic body ratio and serum amylase level were significantly decreased (P<0.01). The positive expressions of IL-6 and p-STAT3 in pancreatic interstitium of mice was significantly decreased,and the protein expression levels of IL-6 and p-STAT3/STAT3 were significantly decreased (P<0.01). Conclusion Tetrandrine has the characteristics of multi-target and multi-pathway in the prevention and treatment of SAP,which may improve the inflammatory response of pancreatic tissue in SAP mice by inhibiting IL-6/STAT3 signaling pathway.
