Sumario:OBJECTIVE: This article aims to explore the impact and mechanism of invigorating qi and promoting blood circulation (IQPBC) on angiogenesis after myocardial infarction (AMI) by using network pharmacology approach. METHODS: First, IQPBC was searched on the traditional Chinese medicine systems pharmacology database and analysis platform (TCMSP), and the main active ingredients and targets of IQPBC were screened and obtained. Second, by virtue of GeneCards and Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM) databases, the targets related to AMI are screened and then obtained. Then, the intersection targets between IQPBC and AMI can be obtained by using online tool Venny 2.1.0. Third, based on the STRING database, the interaction of target proteins is established and some key targets can be analyzed and obtained. Finally, the IQPBC-AMI interaction network is constructed by using Cytoscape, and Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analyses are executed by DAVID and OmicShare databases. RESULTS: 143 intersection targets between IQPBC and AMI are obtained. Besides, key active ingredients, namely, quercetin, tanshinone, kaempferol, and luteolin, are shown. Furthermore, AKT1, VEGFA, STAT3, HIF-1α, and other 10 key targets are obtained. A total of 752 enrichment results are acquired by using GO analysis. KEGG pathway enrichment analysis shows 241 signaling pathways, focusing on cancer, fluid shear stress and atherosclerosis, and TNF and PI3K/AKT signaling pathways. CONCLUSION: This article studies the potential targets and signaling pathways of IQPBC drugs acting on AMI via the network pharmacology approach, which better illustrates the effect and mechanism, and provides some good ideas for the following mechanism research studies.
