Materials and Methods: The active compounds of GLXBBX were collected from the Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology Database and Analysis Platform, and their targets were predicted using the Swiss Target Prediction database. The targets associated with UA were obtained from the Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man, Gene Cards, and Therapeutic Target Database. Individual targets associated with UA and GLXBBX were cross-checked to identify the targets of GLXBBX involved in the treatment of UA. A protein–protein interaction network was built using the STRING online database. Cytoscape 3.7.2 software was used to screen out hub genes. Additional gene ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes enrichment analyses were performed using the cluster Profiler package in R. Results: A total of 28 bioactive compounds and 320 protein targets of GLXBBX associated with UA were screened out. Enrichment analysis indicated that the therapeutic effect of GLXBBX may be mediated through the PI3K/AKT, MAPK, and HIF-1 signaling pathways. Molecular docking suggested that the active compounds including Vitamin E, cavidine, and baicalein can bind to their protein receptors. Conclusions: This research confirmed the multifactorial effects of GLXBBX in the treatment of UA and laid the foundation for the experimental research on GLXBBX.展开更多

Methods: Twenty-four Sprague Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into three groups. Rats in the treatment group received GXBD (13 g crude drug/kg) for three weeks, while rats in the model control and normal control groups received equal volumes of distilled water. On the 22nd day, rats in the ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) control and GXBD-treated groups underwent 30 min occlusion of the left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery, followed by 120 min reperfusion. Electrocardiogram was recorded, and the activities of cardiac enzymes, cytokines, and NF-кB were assessed after I/R. Results: Compared with the I/R control group, GXBD treatment restored the activity of the specific myocardial-injury marker creatine kinase (CK) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and inhibited the inflammatory response involving the nuclear factor-кB (NF-кB) pathway, including down-regulation of interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-6, and up-regulation of IL-10 gene expression. Conclusion: GXBD strongly reduced myocardial impairment in our I/R model, including inhibition of NF-кB activation and inflammatory cytokine responses.展开更多
