To explore the potential mechanism of Huanglian Jiedu Decoction (HJD) treatment and prevention of metastatic Cutaneous Melanoma (CM) occurrence and metastasis based on network pharmacological methods and immune infiltration analysis.
The GEO database was used to obtain metastatic CM disease targets, the TCMSP database and the HERB database were used to obtain HJD action targets, core genes were screened by protein interaction network, and the potential mechanism of HJD in the treatment of metastatic CM was explored by enrichment analysis, prognostic analysis and immune infiltration analysis.
HJD treatment of metastatic CM involved 60 targets, enrichment analysis showed that HJD treatment of metastatic CM involved Chemokine signaling pathway, NF-kappa B signaling pathway, and Fluid shear stress and atherosclerosis, etc. Prognostic analysis revealed that HJD had a certain ability to improve the prognosis of metastatic CM patients. Immune infiltration analysis showed that HJD could inhibit the immune cell infiltration of metastatic CM patients by acting on related targets.
Our study identified the potential mechanism of HJD in the treatment of metastatic CM through network pharmacology, and revealed the mechanism of HJD in the prevention of Skin Cutaneous Melanoma metastasis through immune infiltration analysis and prognostic analysis.
基于网络药理学方法和免疫浸润分析,探讨黄连解毒汤(HJD)治疗及预防转移性皮肤黑色素瘤(CM)发生和转移的潜在机制。
利用GEO数据库获取转移性CM疾病靶点,利用TCMSP数据库和HERB数据库获取HJD作用靶点,通过蛋白质相互作用网络筛选核心基因,并通过富集分析、预后分析和免疫浸润分析探讨HJD治疗转移性CM的潜在机制。
HJD治疗转移性CM涉及60个靶点,富集分析表明HJD治疗转移性CM涉及趋化因子信号通路、核因子κB信号通路和流体剪切力与动脉粥样硬化等。预后分析显示HJD具有一定改善转移性CM患者预后的能力。免疫浸润分析表明HJD可通过作用于相关靶点抑制转移性CM患者的免疫细胞浸润。
本研究通过网络药理学确定了HJD治疗转移性CM的潜在机制,并通过免疫浸润分析和预后分析揭示了HJD预防皮肤黑色素瘤转移的机制。
