Comparing the mechanism of four classic Gualou-Xiebai prescriptions for cardiovascular diseases with phlegm and blood stasis syndrome based on molecular network modeling

Background:Four classical Traditional Chinese Medicine prescriptions,namely Gualou Xiebai Baijiu decoction,Gualou Xiebai Banxia decoction(GLXBBX),Zhishi Xiebai Guizhi decoction(ZSXBGZ)and Danlou prescription(DL),have been frequently used for treatment of phlegm and blood stasis syndrome(PBSS)-related cardiovascular diseases.However,its therapeutic mechanism has not been clearly elucidated.This study aimed to explore PBSS and its molecular mechanism,clarify and compare the mechanisms of four prescriptions in treating PBSS-related diseases.Method:In this study,we collected four prescriptions’compounds,predicted therapeutic targets,and enriched pathways which were based on network pharmacology.Then,we analysed the commen and different mechanisms by combing the network of components,targets and pathways.Finally,molecular docking was engaged to assess the binding potential of key compounds and hub targets.Results:We showed that four prescriptions’intersection genes(VEGFA,SRC,EGFR,etc.)were commonly enriched in PI3K-AKT signaling pathway,HIF-1 signaling pathway,etc.In addition,platelet activation and cAMP signaling pathway were singly enriched from the GLXBBX through unique compounds 12,13-epoxy-9-hydroxynonadeca-7,10-dienoic acid and Cyclo(L-tyrosyl-L-phenylalanyl).These bioactive compounds may exert GLXBBX’s unique pharmacological pathways via involving in mediating PPARA,PTGER3,etc.Sphingolipid signaling pathway was singly enriched from the ZSXBGZ through unique compounds tetramethoxyluteolin,ergosterol peroxide,etc.These bioactive compounds could mediate ADORA1,ADORA3 and TNFRSF1A to regulate ZSXBGZ’s unique pharmacological pathways.AMPK signaling pathway was singly enriched from the DL through unique compounds kaempferol,evofolinb,ethyl acid and aureusidin.These bioactive compounds were involved in mediating the main targets of AMPK signaling pathway,such as TNF,TNFRSF1A,etc.Conclusions:Our research demonstrated that GLXB-prescriptions involved in almost all pathological stages of PBSS-related cardiovascular diseases by modulating high-frequency shared pathways and targets mainly through key compounds(quercetin,mandenol,sitosteryl acetate and luteolin,etc.),for example,participate in the process of atherosclerosis,lipid metabolism,inflammation,immune response,thrombosis,inhibit inflammatory factors and platelet aggregation,regulate immune function,vascular function,oxidative stress.In addition to common pharmacological efficacies,there could also be specificities among GLXB prescriptions due to different compounds.For example,GLXBBX tends to regulate the function of vascular and endothelial barrier,prevent thrombosis.ZSXBGZ tends to regulate lipid metabolism and protect the heart from lipid accumulation.DL tends to maintain energy homeostasis and improve inflammation.

Comparative evaluation in treating qi-yin deficiency and phlegm stasis syndrome of type 2 diabetes mellitus in a rat model

Objective:To compare the efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM),western medicine and integrative medicine in treating type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in a rat model.Methods:The T2DM rat model was established with a high-fat diet (HFD) for 35 days and a single injection of streptozotocin (STZ,30 mg/kg).The T2DM-induced rats were divided into three groups,and treated with Yiqi Yangyin Huatan (YQYYHT) granules (3.84 g/kg per day),pioglitazone (1.35 mg/kg per day) or YQYYHT granules + pioglitazone (3.84 g/kg per day+1.35 mg/kg per day) respectively for 14 days.Clinical features and behavioral changes,as well as T2DM indicators,were recorded to evaluate therapeutics effects in each treatment group.Results:The T2DM rat model expressed insulin resistance (IR),with features similar to qi-yin deficiency and phlegm stasis syndrome,including decreased cyclic adenosine monophosphate/cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cAMP/cGMP) ratio,decreased levels of Na+-K+-ATPase,superoxide dismutase (SOD) and high density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C),and increased levels of serum triglyceride (TG),total cholesterol (TC) and low density lipoprotein (LDL-C).All three treatment groups showed significant decreases in fasting blood glucose (FBG) and fasting insulin (Fins),and improvement of TCM syndrome to different degrees.Importantly,YQYYHT improved the most of the indicators of T2DM,followed by integrative medicine and pioglitazone alone.Conclusion:Compared with western medicine or integrative medicine,prescription of TCM based on syndrome differentiation may offer more advantages in the prevention and treatment of T2DM.

Pathophysiological Characteristics of Phlegm-stasis Cementation Syndrome in Coronary Heart Disease:a Review and Update

The pathophysiological characteristics of Phlegm-stasis Cementation Syndrome in Coronary Heart Disease(CHD) has been summarized in this article. According to epidemiological investigations, phlegm-stasis cementation syndrome has become a dominant syndrome in CHD along with the improvement in living and dietary condition. The interaction between blood stasis and phlegm turbidity that is called Phlegmstasis Cementation Syndrome exists in CHD and other diseases. The bridge linked blood stasis and phlegm turbidity lies in the adversely effects of lipid metabolism disorder on platelet activation, vascular function and hemorheology indexes. Lipid metabolism disorder also can induce persistent inflammation including monocyte/macrophage activation and oxidative stress. Inflammation also is an important stimulating factor for atherosclerosis and the biology that underlies the complications of CHD,which belonged to the concept of "toxin" in Traditional Chinese medicines(TCM). On the other hand, the important function of inflammatory process on abnormal hemorheology,platelet activation and vascular dysfunction can be used to elucidate the basic pathogenetic condition of the toxin inducing blood stasis in TCM. Therefore, it is this pathological process that can be used to address the basic pathogenetic theory of phlegm turbidity inducing the symptom of toxin and blood stasis, and subsequently phlegm-stasis cementation in TCM.
