Abstract
    [Objective] To explore the mechanism of Qiankundan Ⅵ in preventing and treating diabetic kidney disease (DKD) by the method of network pharmacology.[Methods] The chemical components and corresponding targets of Qiankundan Ⅵ were obtained based on TCMSP database,and disease targets of DKD were searched by GeneCards and OMIM database. The key action targets of Qiankundan Ⅵ for prevention and treatment of DKD were obtained by mapping drugs and disease targets. The protein-protein interaction (PPI) network of key targets was constructed by using String database. The core targets and functional modules of Qiankundan Ⅵ for prevention and treatment of DKD were screened by using Cytoscape software. The chemical components and core proteins of Qiankundan Ⅵ were linked by using autodock software. GO and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis was carried out on key targets,and the potential action mechanism of Qiankundan Ⅵ on DKD was analyzed.[Results] There were 103 kinds of effective components and 137 targets in Qiankundan Ⅵ. Quercetin,kaempferol,β-sitosterol and other components with more predicted targets were obtained,including 128 key targets and 6 molecular functional modules. The results of molecular docking showed that the average binding energy between the chemical components of Qiankundan Ⅵ and the target protein was-6.43 kcal/mol,and the binding energy between quercetin and PSGT2 was the highest. The results of GO and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis showed that the prevention and treatment of DKD by Qiankundan Ⅵ was related to the AGE-RAGE signal pathway,Th17 cell differentiation,IL-17 signal pathway,calcium signal pathway,TNF signal pathway and HIF-1 signal pathway in diabetic complications.[Conclusion] Qiankundan Ⅵ can prevent and treat DKD through the synergistic effect of multi-components,multi-targets and multi-signal pathways,which provides an important scientific basis for further clinical and experimental research of Qiankundan Ⅵ.
