Abstract

Osteoarthritis (OA) is currently the most common joint disorder worldwide. In last decades, herbal remedies have achieved a significant advancement in the treatment of OA. Duhuo Jisheng Decoction (DHJS), an herbal formula consisting of 15 medicinal herbs, has a long-time practice in OA therapy in China. However, its therapeutic mechanisms have not been comprehensively elucidated. In the present work, integrated network and experimental pharmacology were performed for investigating the therapeutic substances and mechanisms of DHJS. Based on network analysis, the contribution of each herb to OA therapy was evaluated. Furthermore, a series of potential targets and signaling pathways were enriched, which could be involved in the therapeutic effects and mechanisms of DHJS. Further experimental results indicated that DHJS attenuated TNFα, IL-6, MMP-1, MMP-9, MMP-13, and ADAMTs-5 expression, inhibited NF-κB and p38 MAPK signaling pathway, activated AMPK-SIRT1 signaling pathway, and suppressed chondrocyte apoptosis, which synergistically contributed to OA therapy. Our work demonstrated that DHJS could be very promising for OA therapy through synergistically acting on multitargets and multipathways.

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis
