Integrated UHPLC-QE/MS, transcriptomics and network pharmacology reveal the mechanisms via which Liang-Yan-Yi-Zhen-San promotes the browning of white adipose tissue
In this study, we sought to determine which active ingredients of LYYZS mediated its effects on the browning of white adipose tissue. Employing ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-Q-Exactive HF mass spectrometry, a total of 52 LYYZS ingredients were identified. On this basis, 1,560 ingredient-related targets of LYYZS were screened using the HERB databases. Meanwhile, RNA sequencing analysis of the inguinal white adipose tissue of mice produced a total of 3148 genes that were significantly differentially expressed following LYYZS treatment and differentially expressed genes regarded as browning-related targets. Through the network pharmacological analysis, a total of 136 intersection targets were obtained and an ingredient-target-pathway network was established. According to network pharmacology analysis, 10 ingredients containing trans-cinnamaldehyde, genistein, daidzein, calycosin, arginine, coumarin, oleic acid, isoleucine, palmitic acid and tyrosine were regarded as active ingredients of browning of white adipose tissue. Integrated evaluation using chemical analysis, transcriptomics and network pharmacology provides an efficient strategy for discovering the active ingredients involved in how LYYZS promotes the browning of white adipose tissue.PMID:37822161 | DOI:10.1002/bmc.5734
