[Abstract]
Objective Integrate network pharmacology, molecular docking technology and experimental verification to systematically explore the potential active ingredients and mechanisms of Qing’e Pills in treating Alzheimer′s disease (AD).Methods The main active components and targets of Qing’e Pills were screened using the ETCM database, TCMSP database, and literature search via the SWISS ADME platform and Swiss Target Prediction database. AD-related targets were obtained from the Gene Cards database and OMIM database. Intersection targets were identified, and the STRING database was used to construct a protein-protein interaction (PPI) network of potential targets for Qing’e Pills in treating AD. Core targets were screened using Cytoscape 3.9.1 software. Gene Ontology (GO) functional enrichment analysis and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis of the intersection targets were performed using the DAVID database. Molecular docking validation was conducted using PyMol software and Auto Dock 1.5.7 software. An HT22 cell model was established, and cell viability was assessed using the CCK8 assay. Western blotting was used to detect the expression levels of key target proteins in the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)-protein kinase B (Akt) signaling pathway and apoptosis.Results A total of 119 active components and 900 targets of Qing′e Pills were identified, along with 1 409 disease-related targets. The PPI network revealed core targets such as Akt1, non-receptor tyrosine kinase (SRC), heat shock protein 90 alpha family class A member 1 (HSP90AA1), tumor necrosis factor (TNF), and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). GO and KEGG enrichment analysis yielded 1 532 GO functional annotations and 192 signaling pathways, primarily involving the PI3K/Akt pathway and apoptosis. Molecular docking results demonstrated that the main active components of Qing′e Pills exhibited strong binding affinities to the key targets, with docking binding energies all below −6.0 kcal/mol. Cell experiments showed that, compared to the control group, Qing’e Pills significantly improved Aβ25-35-induced HT22 cell viability (P < 0.01), increased the expression of p-Akt, p-PI3K, and Bcl2 proteins in Aβ25-35-induced HT22 cells, and inhibited the expression of Bax protein (P < 0.05).Conclusion Qing’e Pills may protect neurons and delay the pathological process of AD by regulating the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway and apoptosis, which provides a basis for the clinical application of Qing′e Pills and the research of AD treatment.
