The Pharmacological Mechanisms Underlying the Protective Effect of Ginsenoside Rg3 against Heart Failure.
Background: Heart failure represents the terminal stage of various cardiovascular diseases. This study aims to explore the pharmacological mechanisms underlying the protective effect of Ginsenoside Rg3 against heart failure.
Methods: Potential targets of Ginsenoside Rg3 were identified using SwissTargetPrediction and the Comparative Toxicogenomics Database, while heart failure-related genes were retrieved from the Comparative Toxicogenomics Database, Therapeutic Target Database, DisGeNET, and PharmGKB. Overlapping of Ginsenoside Rg3 targets with heart failure-related genes identified drug-disease interaction genes. Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analyses were conducted on the drug-disease interaction genes to elucidate their biological functions. A protein-protein interaction network was constructed using the drug-disease interaction genes, and the hub genes were identified by topological analysis. Additionally, we validate the expression of IL-6 and TNF by real-time PCR.
Results: The intersection of Ginsenoside Rg3 targets and heart failure-related genes yielded 15 drug-disease interaction genes. Enrichment analysis highlighted the involvement of inflammation-related GO terms and KEGG pathways, such as positive regulation of interleukin-8 and -6 production, regulation of immune effector process, cytokine receptor binding, cytokine activity, adipocytokine signaling pathway, and IL-17 signaling pathway, which are implicated in the cardioprotective effect. Topological analysis revealed four hub genes: STAT3, CASP3, TNF, and IL-6. The application of Ginsenoside Rg3 significantly reversed the elevated levels of IL-6 and TNF in the isoproterenol-treated H9c2 cell line.
Conclusions: Our findings suggest that the cardioprotective effect of Ginsenoside Rg3 may be mediated through its anti-inflammation properties. Further research is required to elucidate and validate the detailed cardioprotective mechanisms of Ginsenoside Rg3.
