Core Tip |
Pachymic acid (PA) is an important bioactive component of Poria cocos. Network pharmacology analysis showed that the core targets of PA in treating gastric cancer (GC) were proto-oncogene tyrosine-protein kinase Src, mitogen-activated protein kinase 1, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase regulatory subunit alpha, heat shock protein 90-alpha, and tyrosine-protein phosphatase non-receptor type 11. Molecular docking results showed that PA could combine well with the core targets. Gene Ontology, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes, and gene set enrichment analysis suggested that the PI3K-AKT signaling pathway was possible for treating GC with PA. The experiment results demonstrated that PA could decrease the survival rate of HGC-27 cells, halt the progression of the cell cycle, enhance cell apoptosis, control the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway to stimulate apoptosis, and impede cell growth. |
