    Abstract:

    Objective To predict the mechanism of Shenshuai Prescription (SSR) in chronic kidney disease(CKD)-related myocardial injury using network pharmacology and molecular docking method. Methods We used the traditional Chinese medicine systems pharmacology database and analysis platform (TCMSP) and Herb herbal medicine identification database (http:/ / herb. ac. cn/ ), and the SwissTargetPrediction database to screen target information of active ingredients. We then used the UniProt database to screen for human targets and standard gene names. A drug active ingredient target network diagram was constructed using Cytoscape 3. 7. 2 software, and the GeneCards database was used to collect disease-related targets. The “ Shenshuai Recipe” against CKD myocardial injury gene target database was established using Venny 2. 1, and the STRING database was used to build the main component target interaction network and screen key targets. Cytoscape 3. 7. 2 software was imported for topology analysis and a protein-protein interaction network diagram was constructed. Finally, the DAVID platform was used for Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis and Gene Ontology (GO) biological function annotation. Results After screening, there were 252 active compounds in SSR and 649 common targets of SSR and CKD myocardial injury, among which AKT Serine/ Threonine Kinase 1 (AKT1), Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF), Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase 3 (MAPK3), and Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor A (VEGFA) may be important targets of SSR in treating CKD myocardial injury. GO analysis identified 1485 Biological process items, 176 Cell component items, and 386 Molecular function items, of which plasma membrane, cytosol, and cytoplasm had the largest number of enriched genes, and 313, 304, 276 genes were distributed respectively. KEGG analysis indicated that HIF-1α, Lipid and atherosclerosis, AGE-RAGE signaling path in diagnostic complexes, phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)-AKT, and insulin resistance pathways might be involved in the mechanisms of SSR in treating CKD myocardial injury. Conclusions SSR might play a role in cardiorenal protection by participating in multiple mechanisms, including improving insulin resistance, improving lipid metabolism, antiatherosclerosis, and regulating the expression of inflammatory factors and vascular endothelial growth factor, with the PI3K/Akt and mitogen-activated protein kinase pathways being potentially important signal regulation pathways.
