摘要

Gynostemma pentaphyllum (Thunb.) Makino is a traditional medicine commonly used in China, East Asia and Southeast Asia. In clinic, it is mainly used for hyperlipidemia and antitumor. Its antitumor activity was first recorded in “Illustrated Catalogue of Plants”. Gypenosides were the main active ingredients of G. pentaphyllum. The anticancer activity of gypenosides in vivo and in vitro had been widely reported. However, the mechanism of gypenosides in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) still unclear. In this study, we tried to investigate the active constituents from G. pentaphyllum and potential mechanisms in RCC treatment through network pharmacology and in vitro experiments. Active compounds and their targets were evaluated and screened through TCMSP and Swiss Target Prediction database. Notably, nine preliminary screened components obtained from database were identified by LC-MS and LC-MS/MS. The targets associated with RCC were obtained from OMIM, TTD and GeneCards database. The PPI network and active component/target/pathway networks were constructed to identify the potential drug targets using String database and Cytoscape software. The functions and pathways of targets were analyzed through DAVID database. Finally, AutoDockTools 1.5.6 was used for molecular docking to assess the binding ability between compounds and targets. To support our prediction, we then explore the antitumor effect and mechanism of gypenosides by vitro experiments. CCK8 and flow cytometry were performed to evaluate cell death treated with gypenosides. Quantitative real-time PCR and Western blot were conducted to detect the changes of PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway. Nine saponins and 68 targets have been screened. The hub targets covered PIK3CA, VEGFA, STAT3, JAK2, CCND1 and MAPK3. Enrichment analysis showed that the pathways mainly contained PI3K/Akt/mTOR, HIF-1, TNF, JAK-STAT and MAPK signaling pathways. Gypenosides extracted from G. pentaphyllum showed strong activity against 786-O and Caki-1 cells, and cell apoptosis were detected through Annexin V/PI dual staining assay. RT-qPCR showed that gypenosides downregulated the levels of PIK3CA, Akt and mTOR in Caki-1 and 786-O cells. Mechanistically, gypenosides induced apoptosis of RCC cells through regulating PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway which was implemented though decreasing the phosphorylation level of Akt and mTOR. Gypenosides induced apoptosis of RCC cells by modulating PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway.
