[Objectives] This study was conducted to investigate the mechanism of action of glyasperin A in the treatment of atherosclerosis using a network pharmacology approach. [Methods] Targets related to atherosclerosis were searched in GeneCards database. An active ingredient-disease-target network was constructed by Cytoscape 3.7.1. A target protein interaction network was constructed by String database. Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment analysis and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis were performed on the DAVID database. [Results] Glyasperin A acted on 36 atherosclerosis-related targets, and the biofunctional and pathway enrichment analyses showed that it was mainly involved in response to xenobiotic stimulus, drug transport across blood-brain barrier, lipid oxidation, barrier, and lipid oxidation, etc. The results showed that glyasperin A acted on 36 atherosclerosis-related targets. The biofunctional and pathway enrichment analyses showed that it was mainly involved in response to xenobiotic stimulus, drug transport across blood-brain barrier, lipid oxidation, positive regulation of protein localization to nucleus, and hepoxilin biosynthetic process, and it played an anti-fatigue role through signal pathways such as serotonergic synapse, efferocytosis, arachidonic acid metabolism, chemical carcinogenesis-receptor activation and platelet activation. [Conclusions] Glyasperin A has multi-target and multi-pathway effects in the treatment of atherosclerosis. This study provides reference for further research on glyasperin A in the treatment of atherosclerosis. |
