Effective hemostatic and anti-inflammatory measures are essential for wound healing. In this study, Ultra-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) combined with network pharmacology was used to analyze the composition of walnut shell ethanol extract (WSEE), and in vivo and in vitro experiments elucidated its potential mechanisms of hemostatic and anti-inflammatory effects. The results showed that 45 components were identified from WSEE, and the NF-κB signaling pathway, IL-17 signaling pathway, etc., could play significant roles in this context. In vitro, WSEE exhibited procoagulant activity including shortened serum APTT (activated partial thromboplastin time, 40.4 ± 3.05 s), TT (thrombin time, 26.13 ± 1.6 s), and PT (prothrombin time, 14.6 ± 2.1 s) ( < 0.01), and increasing FIB levels (Fibrinogen, 3.7 ± 1.01 s). In vivo, WSEE significantly shortened the clotting time in the WSEE group (05:26 s) compared with the control group (13:25 s). Comparing to the lipopolysaccharide alone treatment group, the expression of pro-inflammatory factors such as TNF-α (61.63%, 73.06%, and 66.03%), IL-1β (94.78%, 95.40%, and 88.99%), and IL-6 (91.37%, 97.02%, and 89.00%) were inhibited at the corresponding concentrations (10, 30, and 50 mg/mL) in RAW264.7 cells stimulated by lipopolysaccharide. Moreover, ADRB2 and PTPN2 were the key target proteins associated with bleeding-related and inflammatory-related diseases, which were obtained from the results of network pharmacology analysis. WSEE also alleviated the expression of ADRB2 (50.53%, 56.11%, and 83.41%) and PTPN2 (95.87%, 96.56%, and 91.49%) in RAW264.7 cells stimulated by lipopolysaccharide, findings that align with the results of network pharmacology. These findings provided evidence for considering WSEE as a promising candidate for wound healing.
有效的止血和抗炎措施对伤口愈合至关重要。在本研究中,采用超高效液相色谱(UPLC)结合网络药理学分析核桃壳乙醇提取物(WSEE)的成分,并通过体内和体外实验阐明其止血和抗炎作用的潜在机制。结果表明,从WSEE中鉴定出45种成分,NF-κB信号通路、IL-17信号通路等在这一过程中可能发挥重要作用。体外实验中,WSEE表现出促凝血活性,包括缩短血清活化部分凝血活酶时间(APTT,40.4±3.05秒)、凝血酶时间(TT,26.13±1.6秒)和凝血酶原时间(PT,14.6±2.1秒)(P<0.01),并提高纤维蛋白原(FIB)水平(3.7±1.01秒)。体内实验中,与对照组(13:25秒)相比,WSEE组显著缩短凝血时间(05:26秒)。与单独脂多糖处理组相比,在脂多糖刺激的RAW264.7细胞中,相应浓度(10、30和50mg/mL)的WSEE抑制了促炎因子如肿瘤坏死因子-α(TNF-α,分别为61.63%、73.06%和66.03%)、白细胞介素-1β(IL-1β,分别为94.78%、95.40%和88.99%)和白细胞介素-6(IL-6,分别为91.37%、97.02%和89.00%)的表达。此外,通过网络药理学分析结果获得,肾上腺素能受体β2(ADRB2)和蛋白酪氨酸磷酸酶非受体型2(PTPN2)是与出血相关和炎症相关疾病相关的关键靶蛋白。WSEE还减轻了脂多糖刺激的RAW264.7细胞中ADRB2(分别为50.53%、56.11%和83.41%)和PTPN2(分别为95.87%、96.56%和91.49%)的表达,这一结果与网络药理学结果一致。这些发现为将WSEE视为伤口愈合的有前景候选物提供了证据。
