Popis: AbstractWe comprised metabolites of gut microbiota (GM; endogenous species) and dietary plant-derived natural flavonoids (DPDNFs; exogenous species) were known as potent effectors against non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) via network pharmacology (NP). The crucial targets against NAFLD were identified via GM and DPDNFs. The protein interaction (PPI), bubble chart and networks of GM or natural products- metabolites-targets-key signalling (GNMTK) pathway were described via R Package. Furthermore, the molecular docking test (MDT) to verify the affinity was performed between metabolite(s) and target(s) on a key signalling pathway. On the networks of GNMTK, Enterococcus sp. 45, Escherichia sp.12, Escherichia sp.33 and Bacterium MRG-PMF-1 as key microbiota; flavonoid-rich products as key natural resources; luteolin and myricetin as key metabolites (or dietary flavonoids); AKT Serine/Threonine Kinase 1 (AKT1), CF Transmembrane conductance Regulator (CFTR) and PhosphoInositide-3-Kinase, Regulatory subunit 1 (PIK3R1) as key targets are promising components to treat NAFLD, by suppressing cyclic Adenosine MonoPhosphate (cAMP) signalling pathway. This study shows that components (microbiota, metabolites, targets and a key signalling pathway) and DPDNFs can exert combinatorial pharmacological effects against NAFLD. Overall, the integrated pharmacological approach sheds light on the relationships between GM and DPDNFs.
