Study on complications of osteoporosis based on network pharmacology.

Abstract

Osteoporosis is a serious threat to human life. Guben Zenggu Granule is an empirical prescription for clinical treatment of osteoporosis. MC3T3-E1 cells are mouse osteogenic precursor cells with osteogenic differentiation, and are classic cells for studying bone metabolism and osteogenic mechanism, as well as mechanical stimulation sensitive cells. Therefore, it can be inferred that Guben Zenggu granule can repair MC3T3-E1 cells under continuous static pressure overload. This study aims to through the network of pharmacology and gene sequencing method, reveal thrift increase bone particles under the condition of continuous static pressure overload on osteogenesis mechanism of MC3T3-E1 cells. In the process of analysis, from a variety of 98 compounds was predicted in the database, a collection of 474 goals, a total of 29,164 difference between two groups of genes. Then, construction of composite targets between cells and predict targets and protein - protein interaction networks, and through the cluster analysis to further explore the relationship between the target. In addition, linkages between target proteins and cells were further identified using Gene Ontology (GO) and Pathways (KEGG Pathway). Finally, the repair effect of Guben Zenggu granule on MC3T3-E1 cells under continuous static pressure overload was verified through experiments, so as to accurately explain the pharmacodynamic mechanism of Traditional Chinese medicine.
