Abstract

With the prevalence of obesity and other components of metabolic syndrome, Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has become increasingly common. In recent years, much attention has been paid to various plant sources, hoping to find a treatment for NAFLD in plants. The Livsooth authentic herbal formula (LAH, ), a botanical drug formula combined with Puerariae lobatae radix, Lonicerae japonicae flos, Hoveniae semen, and Siraitiae fructus. This study used a network pharmacology approach to predict the potential mechanisms of LAH against NAFLD. Gene Ontology (GO) and KEGG pathway enrichment analyses have identified potential biochemical and signaling pathways. Subsequently, the potential mechanism of action of LAH on NAFLD predicted by network pharmacology analysis was validated in a high-fat diet (HFD)-induced NAFLD model in C57BL/6 mice. Our results demonstrated that LAH ameliorated hepatocyte steatosis in liver tissue by activating the AMPK pathway and decreasing serum triglycerides, low-density lipoprotein, glucose, and cholesterol. Besides, LAH increased the hepatic antioxidant enzymes activities, suggested that LAH improved oxidative stress markers in HFD induced NAFLD mice. experiments confirmed that the active component of LAH, puerarin, regulates lipid accumulation through the AMPK pathway. In conclusion, our study shows that network pharmacology predictions are consistent with experimental validation. LAH can be a candidate supplement for the prevention of NAFLD.

摘要

随着肥胖症及代谢综合征其他组分的流行,非酒精性脂肪性肝病(NAFLD)已变得越来越常见。近年来,人们对各种植物来源给予了大量关注,希望能在植物中找到治疗NAFLD的方法。Livsooth正宗草药配方(LAH)是一种将葛根、金银花、枳椇子和罗汉果组合而成的植物药配方。本研究采用网络药理学方法预测LAH抗NAFLD的潜在机制。基因本体论(GO)和KEGG通路富集分析确定了潜在的生化和信号通路。随后,在C57BL/6小鼠的高脂饮食(HFD)诱导的NAFLD模型中验证了通过网络药理学分析预测的LAH对NAFLD的潜在作用机制。我们的结果表明,LAH通过激活AMPK通路和降低血清甘油三酯、低密度脂蛋白、葡萄糖和胆固醇,改善了肝脏组织中的肝细胞脂肪变性。此外,LAH增加了肝脏抗氧化酶活性,表明LAH改善了HFD诱导的NAFLD小鼠中的氧化应激标志物。实验证实,LAH的活性成分葛根素通过AMPK通路调节脂质积累。总之,我们的研究表明网络药理学预测与实验验证结果一致。LAH可作为预防NAFLD的候选补充剂。
