DataSheet1_Integrated Network Pharmacology Analysis and Experimental Validation to Investigate the Mechanism of Zhi-Zi-Hou-Po Decoction in Depression.docx
Zhi-Zi-Hou-Po Decoction (ZZHPD) is a well-known traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) that has been widely used in depression. However, the antidepressant mechanism of ZZHPD has not yet been fully elucidated. The purpose of this study was to explore the pharmacological mechanisms of ZZHPD acting on depression by combining ultra flow liquid chromatography with quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UFLC-Q-TOF/MS) and network pharmacology strategy. The chemical components of ZZHPD were identified using UFLC-Q-TOF/MS, while the potential drug targets and depression-related targets were collected from databases on the basis of the identified compounds of ZZHPD. Protein-protein interaction (PPI) network, gene ontology (GO), and Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analyses were used to unravel potential antidepressant mechanisms. The predicted antidepressant targets from the pharmacology-based analysis were further verified in vivo. As a result, a total of 31 chemical compounds were identified by UFLC-Q-TOF/MS; 514 promising drug targets were mined by using the Swiss Target Prediction; and 527 depression-related target genes were pinpointed by the GeneCards and OMIM databases. STRING database and Cytoscape’s topological analysis revealed 80 potential targets related to the antidepressant mechanism of ZZHPD. The KEGG pathway analysis revealed that the antidepressant targets of ZZHPD were mainly involved in dopaminergic synapse, serotonin synapse, cAMP, and mTOR signaling pathways. Furthermore, based on the animal model of depression induced by chronic corticosterone, the regulatory effects of ZZHPD on the expression of MAOA, MAOB, DRD2, CREBBP, AKT1, MAPK1, HTR1A, and GRIN2B mRNA levels as well as the cAMP signaling pathway and monoaminergic metabolism were experimentally verified in rats. Our study revealed that ZZHPD is expounded to target various genes and pathways to perform its antidepressant effect.</p

Table2_Discovery of the Potential Novel Pharmacodynamic Substances From Zhi-Zi-Hou-Po Decoction Based on the Concept of Co-Decoction Reaction and Analysis Strategy.DOCX
Background: Zhi-Zi-Hou-Po Decoction (ZZHPD), a classic traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) formula, is clinically used to treat insomnia and depression. The analysis strategy based on the concept of co-decoction of TCM is helpful to analyse the effective substances of TCM formula in depth.Aim of the study: This manuscript intends to take ZZHPD as a model sample to explore the phenomenon of co-decoction of complex formula in the combination of liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) technology, data analysis, and molecular docking.Materials and methods: In the current research, an innovative LC-MS method has been established to study the active ingredients in ZZHPD, and to identify the ingredients absorbed into the blood and brain tissues of mice. And molecular docking was used to study the binding pattern and affinities of known compounds of the brain tissue toward insomnia related proteins.Results: Based on new processing methods and analysis strategies, 106 chemical components were identified in ZZHPD, including 28 blood components and 18 brain components. Then, by comparing the different compounds in the co-decoction and single decoction, it was surprisingly found that 125 new ingredients were produced during the co-decoction, 2 of which were absorbed into the blood and 1 of which was absorbed into brain tissue. Ultimately, molecular docking studies showed that 18 brain components of ZZHPD had favourable binding conformation and affinity with GABA, serotonin and melatonin receptors. The docking results of GABRA1 with naringenin and hesperidin, HCRTR1 with naringenin-7-O-glucoside, poncirenin and genipin 1-gentiobioside, and luteolin with SLC6A4, GLO1, MAOB and MTNR1A may clarify the mechanism of action of ZZHPD in treating insomnia and depression.Conclusion: Our study may provide new ideas for further exploring the effective substances in ZZHPD.</p
