Abstract

To study the anti-atherosclerosis mechanism of action of peanut skin polyphenols, network pharmacology and molecular docking techniques were used to predict the active components, targets, and pathways. The active components of peanut skin polyphenols were obtained through the TCMSP platform and literature search, and the related targets of peanut skin polyphenols and atherosclerosis were obtained by using the relevant databases. GO and KEGG enrichment analyses were performed by the DAVID database. The “active components of peanut skin polyphenols-target-pathway” interaction network was constructed by Cytoscape software. Finally, molecular docking of active ingredients and the core target were performed using AutoDockTools software. Results showed that 13 active components of peanut skin polyphenols such as kaempferol, epicatechin, fisetin, catechin, luteolin, quercetin, procyanidin B1, and epigallocatechin gallate were screened. And 65 key targets such as alpha serine/threonine-protein kinase (AKT1), phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase regulatory subunit 1 (PIK3R1), mitogen-activated protein kinase-1 (MAPK1), epithelial growth factor receptor (EGFR), and tumor protein p53(TP53) were obtained. The peanut skin polyphenols played an anti-atherosclerosis effect, mainly involving the phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K)-protein kinase B (Akt) signaling pathway, lipid and atherosclerosis, fluid shear stress and atherosclerosis, interleukin-17 (IL-17) signaling pathway, and EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor resistance. The results of molecular docking showed that the main active components could be stably combined with key targets. Peanut skin polyphenols could against atherosclerosis through collaborative intervention in physiological processes through multiple components, multiple targets, and multiple pathways. The physiological processes mainly included lipid metabolism, inflammation, and cell proliferation and apoptosis. The result provided a theoretical basis for the development of anti-atherosclerosis functional food with peanut skin.
