Exploring the molecular biological mechanism of Shugan Jianpi Decoction in the treatment of depression-related breast cancer based on network pharmacology

Objective: To explore the molecular biological mechanism of Shugan Jianpi Decoction in treating depression-related breast cancer based on network pharmacology. Methods: The active compounds of Shugan Jianpi Decoction were explored to obtain their drug targets, and the venny network, "TCM-component-target" network, PPI network, "pathway-gene" network, GO and KEGG enrichment results were constructed using relevant softwares. Results: A total of 121 active ingredients , 250 genes, 2357 GO functions and 184 KEGG pathways were obtained. Conclusion: The active ingredients of Shugan Jianpi Decoction are quercetin||、kaempferol、luteolin、naringenin.The key targets are MAPK1, MAPK3, RELA, and AKT1. GO functions include cellular response to hormone stimulus、cellular response to lipid、cellular response to oxidative stress and so on.KEGG mainly involves PI3K-Akt, microRNAs, and FoxO signaling pathways.This study preliminarily explores the molecular biological mechanism of Shugan Jianpi Decoction in the treatment of depression-related breast cancer, and speculates that it mainly acts by arresting the cell cycle, inhibiting cancer cell proliferation, mediating cancer cell apoptosis, and preventing its recurrence and metastasis, which provides new evidence and new direction for subsequent clinical application and experimental research.
