Breast cancer has emerged as the primary cause of mortality stemming from malignancies among women. HuaChanSu has demonstrated efficacy in suppressing the progression of various malignancies. However, the specific immune targets and pathways influenced by HuaChanSu within mammary tumors remain elusive. This study is designed to uncover potent monomers and pivotal targets associated with HuaChanSu's anti-breast cancer Immunotherapy. The genes pertinent to HuaChanSu and breast cancer were acquired individually from publicly available databases. Interaction analysis using Cytoscape was conducted on common genes to determine the most suitable targets and crucial constituents of HuaChanSu's Immunotherapy against breast cancer. Following this, molecular docking was employed to validate ligand and receptor binding interactions. Lastly, the identified core genes underwent assessment of immune infiltration. The intersection of HuaChanSu and BC targets yielded a total of 49 differentially expressed genes. Bufalin emerged as the most potent constituent in Immunotherapy. Immunoassay data demonstrated significant correlations (r > 0.03, p < 0.05) between S100B, MMP9, FOS, EGFR, KIT, MME, and immune infiltration within BC. Molecular docking further corroborated the effective binding of Bufalin with immune-related genes. Through network pharmacological validation, we propose the extraction of Bufalin, a monomeric constituent of Huachansu, to exert immunomodulatory effects aimed at inhibiting the progression of breast cancer. Most of the target genes (S100B, BIRC5, MMP9, FOS, EGFR, KIT, and MME) are common targets for immunotherapy.
乳腺癌已成为女性恶性肿瘤致死的主要原因。华蟾素已显示出对多种恶性肿瘤进展的抑制作用。然而,华蟾素在乳腺肿瘤中影响的具体免疫靶点和途径仍不清楚。本研究旨在揭示与华蟾素抗乳腺癌免疫治疗相关的有效单体和关键靶点。分别从公开数据库中获取与华蟾素和乳腺癌相关的基因。对共同基因进行Cytoscape相互作用分析,以确定华蟾素抗乳腺癌免疫治疗的最合适靶点和关键成分。随后,采用分子对接来验证配体与受体的结合相互作用。最后,对鉴定出的核心基因进行免疫浸润评估。华蟾素与乳腺癌靶点的交集共产生49个差异表达基因。蟾毒灵是免疫治疗中最有效的成分。免疫分析数据表明,S100B、MMP9、FOS、EGFR、KIT、MME与乳腺癌内免疫浸润之间存在显著相关性(r>0.03,p<0.05)。分子对接进一步证实了蟾毒灵与免疫相关基因的有效结合。通过网络药理学验证,我们提出提取华蟾素的单体成分蟾毒灵,以发挥免疫调节作用,抑制乳腺癌进展。大多数靶基因(S100B、BIRC5、MMP9、FOS、EGFR、KIT和MME)是免疫治疗的常见靶点。
