Project description:This study explores how quercetin may treat endometriosis (EMs) by combining network pharmacology and transcriptome sequencing approaches. Through network pharmacology, 132 shared targets between quercetin and EMs were identified, with KEGG pathway analysis suggesting that the MAPK signaling pathway could be a significant therapeutic target. Transcriptome sequencing revealed that PDGFRB was highly expressed in ectopic endometrial tissue, a finding confirmed by immunohistochemistry (IHC) showing elevated levels of PDGFRB, RAS, RAF1, and ERK1/2 in ectopic lesions. In an EMs mouse model, quercetin treatment led to a marked reduction in ectopic lesion volume, lowered adhesion scores, and decreased expression of PDGFRB, RAS, RAF1, and ERK1/2 in endometrial tissues. Additionally, the knockdown of PDGFRB in endometriosis cells inhibited their proliferation, invasion, and migration, processes critical to EMs pathology. Quercetin treatment further suppressed cell viability and downregulated the protein expression of RAS, phosphorylated RAF1, RAF1, phosphorylated ERK, and ERK1/2. These findings collectively suggest that quercetin exerts its therapeutic effect in endometriosis by regulating the MAPK signaling pathway via PDGFRB, thereby reducing EMs cell proliferation, invasion, and migration. This study provides insights into quercetin’s multi-targeted mechanism of action in endometriosis treatment.

Project description:Jiawei Foshou San (JFS) is the new formula originated from classic Foshou San formula, composed with ligustrazine, ferulic acid, and tetrahydropalmatine. Previously JFS inhibited the growth of endometriosis (EMS) with unclear mechanism, especially in metastasis, invasion, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition. In this study, network pharmacology was performed to explore potential mechanism of JFS on EMS. Through compound-compound target and compound target-EMS target networks, key targets were analyzed for pathway enrichment. MMP-TIMP were uncovered as one cluster of the core targets. Furthermore, autologous transplantation of EMS rat's model were used to evaluate in vivo effect of JFS on invasion, metastasis and epithelial-mesenchymal transition. JFS significantly suppressed the growth, and reduced the volume of ectopic endometrium, with modification of pathologic structure. In-depth study, invasion and metastasis were restrained after treating with JFS through decreasing MMP-2 and MMP-9, increasing TIMP-1. Meanwhile, JFS promoted E-cadherin, and attenuated N-cadherin, Vimentin, Snail, Slug, ZEB1, ZEB2, Twist. In brief, anti-EMS effect of JFS might be related to the regulation of epithelial-mesenchymal transformation, thereby inhibition of invasion and metastasis. These findings reveal the potential mechanism of JFS on EMS and the benefit for further evaluation.

Project description:Network pharmacology study indicated that Puerarin (PUE), wogonin (WOG), berberine (BER) and glycyrrhetinic acid (GLY) were the active components in GQD and performed synergistic effect on the targets of the Wnt signaling pathway. Pharmacologic research revealed that WOG, BER, GLY performed inhibited effect on SW480 cells and PUE only exhibited effective antitumor activity when combined with GLY. RNA-seq were used to discover synergistic mechanism of PUE-GLY and CTNNB1, CCND1, SMAD4 were identified as synergistic targets inhibited by PUE-GLY. Moreover, mechanism study explored PUE-GLY could affect the Wnt signaling pathway by up-regulated GSK3B and down-regulated CTNNB1 synergistically. Importantly, it showed that GLY could effectively increase the intracellular content of PUE based on HPLC/MS analysis, and this process was achieved by GLY through influencing the targets of membrane’s pathway, such as cell adhesion molecules, focal adhesion and tight junction. Our study revealed multi-target mechanism of GLY, down-regulated CTNNB1 as the material for efficacy and intervene membrane protein (CDH1, CADM1, ITGB2, ICAM1) as courier in the formulae. Moreover, the mechanism of synergistic antitumor action of Puerariae Lobatae Radix (Gegen-Monarch) and Glycyrrhiza Radix et Rhizoma (Gancao-Assistant) on Wnt signaling pathway was explored systematically.

Project description:IntroductionEndometriosis (EMs) is characterized by ectopic growth of active endometrial tissue outside the uterus. The Luoshi Neiyi prescription (LSNYP) has been extensively used for treating EMs in China. However, data on the active chemical components of LSNYP are insufficient, and its pharmacological mechanism in EMs treatment remains unclear. This study aimed to explore the potential mechanism of LSNYP for EMs through network pharmacology based on the components absorbed into the blood.MethodsUltra-high performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry was used to analyze blood components, and a series of network pharmacology strategies were utilized to predict targets of these components and EMs. Protein-protein interaction (PPI) network analysis, component-target-disease network construction, gene ontology (GO) functional enrichment analysis, and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis were performed. Additionally, molecular docking, molecular dynamics simulations, and in vitro and in vivo experiments were conducted to validate the HIF1A/EZH2/ANTXR2 pathway associated with hypoxic pathology in EMs.ResultsThirty-four absorbed components suitable for network pharmacology analysis were identified, and core targets, such as interleukin 6, EGFR, HIF1A, and EZH2, were founded. Enrichment results indicated that treatment of EMs with LSNYP may involve the regulation of hypoxia and inflammatory-related signaling pathways and response to oxidative stress and transcription factor activity. Experimental results demonstrated that LSNYP could decrease the expression of HIF1A, ANTXR2, YAP1, CD44, and β-catenin, and increased EZH2 expression in ectopic endometrial stromal cells and endometriotic tissues. Molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations manifested that there was stable combinatorial activity between core components and key targets of the HIF1A/EZH2/ANTXR2 pathway.ConclusionLSNYP may exert pharmacological effects on EMs via the HIF1A/EZH2/ANTXR2 pathway; hence, it is a natural herb-related therapy for EMs.

Project description:Alterations in endometrial DNA methylation profile have been proposed as one potential mechanism initiating the development of endometriosis. However, the normal endometrial methylome is influenced by the cyclic hormonal changes and the menstrual cycle phase-dependent epigenetic signature should be considered when studying endometrial disorders. So far, no studies have been performed to evaluate the menstrual cycle influences and endometriosis-specific endometrial methylation pattern at the same time. Therefore, we used Infinium HumanMethylation 450K BeadChip arrays to explore DNA methylation profiles of endometrial tissues from various menstrual cycle phases. Infinium HumanMethylation 450K BeadChip arrays were used to explore DNA methylation profiles of endometrial tissues from mid secretory cycle phase from 17 patients without endometriosis
