Integrated Network Pharmacology and Lipidomics to Reveal the Inhibitory Effect of Qingfei Oral Liquid on Excessive Autophagy in RSV-Induced Lung Inflammation
Background: Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) can cause varying degrees of lung inflammation in children. Qingfei Oral Liquid (QF) is effective in treating childhood RSV-induced lung inflammation (RSV-LI) in clinics, but its pharmacological profiles and mechanisms remain unclear.Methods: This study...

Using Cytoscape (v3.8.2) and enrichment analyses from the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) and Gene Ontology (GO), a global view of the putative compound-target-pathway network was created.

The most significantly enriched pathway was the PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway (p < 0.05). In addition, untargeted lipidomics were performed, and it was revealed that higher lung levels of DAG 30:0, DAG 30:5, DAG 32:0, DAG 16:0_18:0, DAG 17:0_17:0, DAG 34:1, DAG 36:0, DAG 36:1 in the RSV-LI group were decreased after QF administration (FDR < 0.05, FC > 1.2). Lipin-1, a key enzyme in DAG synthesis, was increased in the RSV-LI mouse model. Animal experiments further validated that QF inhibited the PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway, with lower lung levels of phosphorylated PI3K, AKT and mTOR, as well as its related proteins of lipin-1 and VPS34 (p < 0.01). Finally, pharmacodynamic investigations indicated that QF reduced airway inflammation caused by excessive autophagy by decreasing lung levels of RSV F and G proteins, Beclin-1, Atg5, and LC3B II, IL-1 and TNF-α (p < 0.05).Conclusion: Lipidomic-based network pharmacology, along with experimental validation, may be effective approaches for illustrating the therapeutic mechanism of QF in the treatment of RSV-LI.Lili LinLi AnHui ChenLu FengMengjiang LuYuling LiuChu ChuJinjun ShanTong XieXiaorong WangShouchuan WangFrontiers Media S.A.articlerespiratory syncytial virusqingfei oral liquidnetwork pharmacologylipidomicsexcessive autophagyPI3K/AKT/mTORTherapeutics.
