Abstract

Background

The burden of malignant lymphoma in China is greater than the global equivalent. The randomized controlled trials provide medical evidence that TCM can improve the response and survival in patients with lymphoma. However, the mechanisms underlying remain undefined.

Objective

Evidence-based data mining for traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) on improving response and survival in malignant lymphoma treatment was performed in this study. In addition, the mechanisms of TCM through network pharmacology and molecular docking were explored.

Methods

The China national knowledge infrastructure, Wanfang Data, China Science and Technology Journal Database, PubMed, and Web of Science databases were searched to select TCM formulas with response and survival benefits in the treatment of malignant lymphomas. We then analyzed and visualized the tropism of taste, frequency of drug use, dosage, clustering, association rules mining (minimum support threshold as 0.20, the minimum confidence threshold as 0.80 and lift >1), and complex networks for potential core herb compositions using Excel, IBM SPSS Statistics 26, and IBM SPSS Modeler 18. TCM systems pharmacology, GeneCards, Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man, and other databases were used to screen potential core active ingredients and malignant lymphoma-related targets. The intersection targets were used to construct a protein interaction network using Cytoscape to obtain the key targets. Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway enrichment were used to analyze the core target, and molecular docking of key components and targets was performed using CB-Dock2.

Results

Twenty-four Chinese herbal formulae were included, encompassing 107 herbs with mainly cold and warm properties and bitter and sweet flavors. They were associated with the yin meridians of the liver, spleen, and lungs. The TCMs underwent association rule analysis, identified 27 association rules, including 12 herb pairs and 13 angle medicine, and clustered into eight classes by clustering analysis. Combined with the results from mining analysis, Pinelliae (Ban-xia), Poria (Fu-ling), Atractylodis macrocephalae (Bai-zhu), Curcumae (E-zhu), and Sparganii (San-leng) were the potential core herbs According to network pharmacology and molecular docking, the main core components of the potential core drugs are hederagenin, cerevisterol, 14-acetyl-12-senecioyl-2E,8E,10E-atractylentriol, 12,13-epoxy-9-hydroxynonadeca-7,10-dienoic acid, cavidine, and baicalein. These core drugs are mainly involved in the pathways of EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor resistance, PD-1/L1, natural killer cell-mediated cytotoxicity, NF-κB, epithelial cell signaling in H. pylori infections, and Th17 cell differentiation. They aid in regulating the transmembrane receptor protein tyrosine kinase signaling pathway, ERBB signaling pathway, PI3K signaling pathway, and phosphorylation process. Ten key components and eight key targets, including baicalein and hederagenin, demonstrated strong binding activity.

Conclusion

Collectively, some core herbs exerted anti-tumor effects through immune and inflammatory pathway modulation, inhibition of immune escape, and induction of cell apoptosis. These findings support future evidence-based research on malignant lymphoma treatment using TCM.
