Abstract
Resolvin (Rv) and lipoxin (Lx) play important regulative roles in the development of several inflammation-related diseases. The dysregulation of their metabolic network is believed to be closely related to the occurrence and development of asthma. The Hyssopus Cuspidatus Boriss extract (SXCF) has long been used as a treatment for asthma, while the mechanism of anti-inflammatory and anti-asthma action targeting Rv and Lx has not been thoroughly investigated. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effects of SXCF on Rv, Lx in ovalbumin (OVA)-sensitized asthmatic mice. The changes of Rv, Lx before and after drug administration were analyzed based on high sensitivity chromatography-multiple response monitoring (UHPLC-MRM) analysis and multivariate statistics. The pathology exploration included behavioral changes of mice, IgE in serum, cytokines in BALF, and lung tissue sections stained with H&E. It was found that SXCF significantly modulated the metabolic disturbance of Rv, Lx due to asthma. Its modulation effect was significantly better than that of dexamethasone and rosmarinic acid which is the first-line clinical medicine and the main component of Hyssopus Cuspidatus Boriss, respectively. SXCF is demonstrated to be a potential anti-asthmatic drug with significant disease-modifying effects on OVA-induced asthma. The modulation of Rv and Lx is a possible underlying mechanism of the SXCF effects.

Revealing the Underlying Mechanism of Acacia Nilotica against Asthma from a Systematic Perspective: A Network Pharmacology and Molecular Docking Study. Life (Basel) 2023; 13:life13020411. [PMID: 36836768 PMCID: PMC9966740 DOI: 10.3390/life13020411] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/30/2022] [Revised: 01/13/2023] [Accepted: 01/30/2023] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Acacia Nilotica (AN) has long been used as a folk cure for asthma, but little is known about how AN could possibly modulate this disease. Thus, an in-silico molecular mechanism for AN's anti-asthmatic action was elucidated utilizing network pharmacology and molecular docking techniques. DPED, PubChem, Binding DB, DisGeNET, DAVID, and STRING were a few databases used to collect network data. MOE 2015.10 software was used for molecular docking. Out of 51 searched compounds of AN, eighteen compounds interacted with human target genes, a total of 189 compounds-related genes, and 2096 asthma-related genes were found in public databases, with 80 overlapping genes between them. AKT1, EGFR, VEGFA, and HSP90AB were the hub genes, whereas quercetin and apigenin were the most active components. p13AKT and MAPK signaling pathways were found to be the primary target of AN. Outcomes of network pharmacology and molecular docking predicted that AN might exert its anti-asthmatic effect probably by altering the p13AKT and MAPK signaling pathway.

Exploration of the Molecular Mechanisms of Hyssopus cuspidatus Boriss Treatment of Asthma in an mRNA-miRNA Network via Bioinformatics Analysis. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2022; 2022:7111901. [PMID: 35572723 PMCID: PMC9098316 DOI: 10.1155/2022/7111901] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/01/2021] [Revised: 03/25/2022] [Accepted: 04/17/2022] [Indexed: 12/07/2022]
Abstract
Hyssopus cuspidatus Boriss (H. cuspidatus) is a traditional Chinese medicine commonly used in the treatment of asthma. In the present study, we applied bioinformatics techniques for mRNA-miRNA profiling to elucidate the potential mechanisms of H. cuspidatus in asthma treatment. Bioactive compounds from H. cuspidatus, potential therapeutic targets of H. cuspidatus, and asthma-related targets were identified from the literature and databases. The intersection of H. cuspidatus-related targets and asthma-related targets was identified using the STRING platform. Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway enrichment analyses were performed using the Metascape platform. Networks were constructed from these nodes using Cytoscape. The results showed that 23 active compounds were identified in H. cuspidatus, sharing 122 common asthma-related targets. Moreover, 43 miRNAs regulating 19 key targets involved in the antiasthmatic effects of H. cuspidatus were identified. Further analysis of biological pathways, active compound-key target-pathway network, and active compound-key target-miRNA network indicated that the antiasthmatic effects of H. cuspidatus mainly occurred through caffeic acid, methyl rosmarinate, luteolin, esculetin, and 8-hydroxycirsimaritin. These compounds interacted with multiple miRNAs, including miR-99a, miR-498, miR-33b, and miR-18a, regulating multiple genes, including JAK, STAT3, EGFR, LYN, and IL-6, in multiple pathways, including those involved in the regulation of JAK-STAT signaling, EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor resistance, PI3K-Akt signaling, and inflammation. In summary, we have elucidated the potential mechanisms of H. cuspidatus treatment of asthma from a systemic and holistic perspective through analysis of compound-mRNA-miRNA interaction. Our study should provide new insights for further research on H. cuspidatus treatment of asthma.
