Mechanism of Lonicerae Japonicae Flos and Forsythiae Fructus drug pair intervention for IgA nephropathy based on network pharmacology

Objective To study the active components and mechanism of Lonicerae Japonicae Flos and Forsythiae Fructus in the treatment of IgA nephropathy based on network pharmacology. Methods TCMSP database was used to extract the active components and related targets of Lonicerae Japonicae Flos and Forsythiae Fructus. The disease targets were searched by OMIM, NCBI and GeneCards database. The information of the intersection targets of the active components of Lonicerae Japonicae Flos, Forsythiae Fructus, and IgA nephropathy were obtained by using Venny2.1 software. PPI network of the intersection target of Lonicerae Japonicae Flos, Forsythiae Fructus, and IgA nephropathy was draw by String and Cytoscape 3.8.0. The R language was used to perform GO enrichment analysis and KEGG pathway analysis.Results The study showed that the main active components include quercetin, luteolin, kaempferol, beta-carotene, and beta-sitosterol. The disease targets include AKT1, IL6, MAPK1, JUN, VEGFA, MAPK8, IL1B, and MMP9. The main biological process include cellular response to chemical stress, response to oxidative stress, response to lipopolysaccharide, and response to molecule of bacterial origin. The treating signaling pathway include AGE-RAGE signaling pathway, IL-17 signaling pathway, and TNF signaling pathway. Conclusion Lonicerae Japonicae Flos and Forsythiae Fructus treating IgA nephropathy are through multi-component, multi-target, and multi-signaling pathway, which provides data support for the further study of the two herbs based on network pharmacology.
