This study explored the mechanism of Rhizoma drynariae in the treatment of osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) using network pharmacology and in vitro experiments. Predicted targets of Rhizoma drynariae and ONFH were identified and key targets were determined. A compound-target-pathway network was constructed to depict the interrelationship between Rhizoma drynariae and ONFH-associated signaling pathways. Results showed the potential role of Rhizoma drynariae in ONFH treatment.
Background: Rhizoma drynariae, a classic prescription in traditional Chinese medicine, has long been used for the treatment of osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH), but its potential targets and molecular mechanisms remain to be further explored. Objective: This study aims to explore the mechanism of Rhizoma drynariae in ONFH treatment via network pharmacology and in vitro experiments. Methods: Targets of Rhizoma drynariae and ONFH were predicted using relevant databases, and intersection analysis was conducted to screen for shared targets. A PPI network of the shared targets was built using STRING to identify the key targets. Functional enrichment analyses of Gene Ontology and KEGG pathway data were carried out using R software. The compound-target-pathway network was constructed for Rhizoma Drynariae in the treatment with ONFH using Cytoscape 3.9.0. Cell proliferation was assessed using CCK8 and apoptosis was detected using (Propidium Iodide) PI staining and western blotting. Results: This study depicts the interrelationship of the bioactive compounds of Rhizoma drynariae with ONFH-associated signaling pathways and target receptors and is a potential reagent for ONFH treatment. Conclusion: Based on a network pharmacology analysis and in vitro experiment, we predicted and validated the active compounds and potential targets of Rhizoma drynariae, provide valuable evidence of Rhizoma Drynariae in future ONFH treatment.
