ABSTRACT

Aim To study the protective effect of Qingjie HuaGong decoction ( QJHGD) for severe acute pancreatitis ( SAP ) model rats induced by cerulein based on TLR4/NF-kB/MYD88 pathway.Methods The effective component groups and potential targets of QJHGD were collected by network pharmacology method , and we constructed the component-target network.The GO and KEGG of important targets were enriched and analyzed by metascape database, and we selected the targeted pathways related with SAP inflammation mechanism.The rat model of severe acute pancreatitis was established by cerulein combined with lipopolysac- charide, followed by QJHGD gavage.Pancreatic tissues were observed by hematoxylin and eosin staining.We verified the therapeutic effect of QJHGD on SAP rats and the regulatory effect on TLR4/NF-kB/MyD88 target pathway, by Enzyme linked immunosorbent and immunohistochemistry methods.Results A total of 105 active components and 148 key targets for SAP were screened; KEGG was enriched 320 different channels including toll like receptor and NF-kB classical pathways.Animal experiments showed that QJHGD harl protective changes in pancreatic pathological tissues, which was observed by HE staining; QJHGD reduced amylase, lipase, 1L-6 and TNF-a in SAP rat serum, inhibiting the positive expression of key proteins on TLR4/N F- kB/MyD88 inflammatory transduction j j pathways.Conclusion The mechanisms of QJHGD protecting pancreatic injury of SAP rat may be related to reducing the expression of key proteins on TLR4/ NF-kB/MvD88 pathway.
