Objective To explore the potential mechanism of Cyclocarya Paliurus in regulating blood glucose by network pharmacology and molecular docking. Methods The chemical constituents of Cyclocarya Paliurus were collected and active components were screened by Swiss ADME platform. The target prediction database of Swiss was used to predict the target, and Cytoscape 3.8 was used to construct the drug-target network;Genecards, OMIM and digenet databases were helping to find blood glucose targets;to obtain the blood glucose regulating targets of Cyclocarya Paliurus through Wayne map;The protein-protein interaction(PPI) network was constructed by using string platform;The gene ontology(GO) analysis and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG) pathway analysis were performed by using metascape data platform, which construct a common target signal pathway network of active components regulating blood glucose in Cyclocarya Paliurus. At the same time molecular docking verification was carried out. An experimental type 2 diabetic rat model was established. Fasting blood glucose(FBG), fasting insulin(FIns), glycosylated hemoglobin(HbA1 c) levels and expression of ESR2 and PTPN1 in pancreas tissue of rats were detected. Results Through literature collection and screening, 39 active ingredients of Cyclocarya Paliurus were obtained, and 509 related targets were obtained by importing them into the Swiss Target Prediction platform. The database was searched to obtain 1,618 blood glucose-related targets. The intersection of the two was the 134 targets of Cyclocarya Paliurus for regulating blood sugar, and 24 therapeutic targets are screened by the PPI results. In the GO enrichment analysis, there were 20 biological processes, 7 cell composition, and 10 molecular functions in the main items. A total of 8 core signal pathways were obtained from KEGG pathway analysis. The 8 pathways involving targets and the drug component-target network merge can get 18 core targets and 29 core therapeutic components connected to the targets. The results of molecular docking showed that core components such as kaempferol, caffeic acid, and quercetin had strong binding activity with blood glucose regulation-related proteins and targets, which may have corresponding regulatory effects. Polysaccharides from P. salicis significantly decreased the levels of FBG, FIns and HbA1 c in experimental type 2 diabetic rats, and increased the expression of ESR2 and PTPN1 in pancreas tissue of rats.Conclusion Cyclocarya Paliurus may regulate blood glucose by regulating Estrogen receptor beta(ESR2), Tyrosineprotein phosphatase non-receptor type 1(PTPN1), Matrix metalloproteinase-2(MMP2), Matrix metalloproteinase-9(MMP9), Glycogen synthase kinase-3 beta(GSK3 B), Insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor(IGF1 R) and other targets,which participate in nerve signal transduction in vivo, play related protein synthesis, intercellular signal transmission to regulate blood glucose.
