This study aims to analyze the constituents of Jiaotai Pills migrating to the blood in normal rats by UHPLC-TOF-MS technique and reveal the underlying mechanism of Jiaotai Pills in the treatment of depression by network pharmacology and animal experiments. UHPLC-TOF-MS technique was used to detect the constituents of Jiaotai Pills in the blood of rats after intragastric administration. The intersection target of the constituents and depression was screened by DisGeNET and SwissTargetPrediction database, and the protein-protein interaction(PPI) network was constructed. Key targets were imported into the DAVID platform for Gene Ontology(GO) analysis and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG) pathway annotation. Combined with constituents, targets, and pathways, the "constituent-target-pathway" network was constructed by Cytoscape 3.9.1 software, through which the key targets and pathways of Jiaotai Pills against depression were predicted. The depression model of chronic unpredictable mild stress(CUMS) was established on rats. After that, behavioral experiments were conducted. The expression of inflammatory factors in serum and the neurotransmitters in the brain were detected by ELISA, and the expression of key targets in the hippocampus was detected by Western blot. The results showed that a total of 17 constituents of Jiaotai Pills were identified in the blood, including 10 alkaloids. There were 124 intersection targets between constituents of Jiaotai Pills and depression disorder. A total of 52 core targets were screened according to PPI results, including NLRP3 and caspase-1, etc. KEGG enrichment analysis mainly involved 15 typical pathways such as NOD-like receptor pathway. The results of animal experiments showed that Jiaotai Pills significantly improved the depression-like behavior of CUMS depressive model on rats, decreased the levels of IL-1β, TNF-α and IL-6 in serum, and increased the expression of neurotransmitters such as 5-hydroxytryptamine(5-HT), dopamine(DA), and norepinephrine(NE) in the brain. Besides, Jiaotai Pills also down-regulated the expression of NLRP3 and caspase-1 proteins in the hippocampus and inhibited the NLRP3-mediated NOD-like receptor signaling pathway. In conclusion, Jiaotai Pills may play a role in the treatment of depression by inhibiting the NLRP3 inflammasome and the NOD-like receptor pathway mediated by NLRP3. |
