Investigating the mechanism of Tongqiao Huoxue decotion in the treatment of allergic rhinitis based on network pharmacology and molecular docking: A review
Allergic rhinitis is prone to recurrence, and clinical treatments focus on control symptoms; however there is no radical cure. Our aim was to use network pharmacology and molecular docking to reveal the hub genes, biological functions, and signaling pathways of Tongqiao Huoxue decoction against alle...

description | Allergic rhinitis is prone to recurrence, and clinical treatments focus on control symptoms; however there is no radical cure. Our aim was to use network pharmacology and molecular docking to reveal the hub genes, biological functions, and signaling pathways of Tongqiao Huoxue decoction against allergic rhinitis. First, the chemical components and target genes of Tongqiao Huoxue decoction were obtained from the Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology database. Similarly, allergic rhinitis targets were screened using online Mendelian Inheritance In Man and GeneCards database. Then, all potential targets of Tongqiao Huoxue decoction in the treatment of allergic rhinitis were identified, the Venn diagram was portrayed using R software, and protein-protein interaction network was built using String. The hub genes were analyzed using enrichment analyses. Finally, molecular docking was used to verify the reliability of the key gene prediction. The core targets for Tongqiao Huoxue decoction to improve allergic rhinitis were AKT1, TP53, IL6, and so on. The enrichment analysis results showed that Tongqiao Huoxue decoction treatment in allergic rhinitis might be involved in the AGE-RAGE signaling pathway and fluid shear stress and atherosclerosis pathway. The molecular docking verification indicated that its ingredients bound well to the core targets of allergic rhinitis, and stigmasterol’s docking ability with TNF (−12.73 kcal/mol) is particularly prominent. Based on these findings, it may be deduced that stigmasterol treated allergic rhinitis by acting on TNF targets. But, this conclusion needs to be confirmed by further in vitro and in vivo trials. |
