Abstract
Background Idiopathic sudden hearing loss (ISHL) is characterized by sudden unexplainable and unilateral hearing loss as a clinically emergent symptom. The use of the herb Erlongjiaonang (ELJN) in traditional Chinese medicine is known to effectively control and cure ISHL. This study explored the underlying molecular mechanisms using network pharmacology and molecular docking analyses. Method The Traditional Chinese Medicine System Pharmacological database and the Swiss Target Prediction database were searched for the identification of ELJN constituents and potential gene targets, respectively, while ISHL-related gene abnormality was assessed using the Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man and Gene Card databases. The interaction of ELJN gene targets with ISHL genes was obtained after these databases were cross-screened, and a drug component-intersecting target network was constructed, and the gene ontology (GO) terms, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes, and protein-protein interaction networks were analyzed. Cytoscape software tools were used to map the active components-crossover target-signaling pathway network and screened targets were then validated by establishing molecular docking with the corresponding components. Result Erlongjiaonang contains 85 components and 250 corresponding gene targets, while ISHL has 714 disease-related targets, resulting in 66 cross-targets. The bioinformatical analyses revealed these 66 cross-targets, including isorhamnetin and formononetin on NOS3 expression, baicalein on AKT1 activity, and kaempferol and quercetin on NOS3 and AKT1 activity, as potential ELJN-induced anti-ISHL targets. Conclusion This study uncovered potential ELJN gene targets and molecular signaling pathways in the control of ISHL, providing a molecular basis for further investigation of the anti-ISHL activity of ELJN.

Food Chem Toxicol 2021; 155:112402. [PMID: 34246709 DOI: 10.1016/j.fct.2021.112402] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/04/2021] [Revised: 07/05/2021] [Accepted: 07/07/2021] [Indexed: 01/27/2023]
Abstract
Val-Asn-Pro (VNP) was identified from the raw material of baijiu distillation (Jiupei) and exhibit antioxidant activity in vitro. In this study, residue after baijiu distillation (Jiuzao) was used to seek the antioxidant peptide VNP with the methods reported inthe previous study. Its potential antioxidant mechanism in vivo was further assessed. Gene and protein expressions of Nrf2/Keap1-p38MAPK/PI3K-MafK signaling pathway and downstream enzymes (i.e., CAT, GPX1, SOD1, and HO-1) in AAPH-induced oxidative stress Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were investigated. Influence of VNP on baijiu characteristics was also investigated. Based on the results, VNP was identified with a content of 5.25 mg/g Jiuzao. VNP significantly mitigated excess oxidative stress via activation of Nrf2/Keap1-p38MAPK/PI3K-MafK signaling pathway and activated downstream antioxidant enzymes. Furthermore, VNP showed unconspicuous influence on the flavor and taste of baijiu when added into baijiu and the content remained stable during storage. These results indicated that VNP is a potent antioxidant component isolated from Jiuzao that can be used in baijiu to enhance its antioxidant effect without affecting the main flavor and taste. The utilization of these functional components can also increase the added value of Jiuzao.
