The mRNA expression levels of AKT1 and HIF1A were upregulated in healthy nucleus pulposus (NP) tissue than in degenerative NP tissue.
According to KEGG and pathway interaction analyses, the PI3K-Akt signaling pathway involved 34 (15.89%) potential therapeutic LBP targets, and PI3K-Akt signaling pathway played a significant role in the treatment of LBP. According to GO analysis, steroid metabolic process involved 42 (18.10%) potential therapeutic LBP targets, neuronal cell body involved 24 (10.30%) potential therapeutic LBP targets, and protein serine/threonine kinase activity involved 28 (12.02%) potential therapeutic LBP targets in biological process (BP), cellular component (CC), and molecular function (MF), respectively. AKT1, VEGFA, and HIF1A were deemed to be major gene targets based on the degree values. 234 different gene targets and 18 active compounds altogether were obtained. Network pharmacology was used to reveal the potential mechanisms including collecting the active ingredients of DR, analyzing the common gene targets of LBP and DR, constructing protein-protein interaction (PPI) network, collecting protein classification, performing Gene Ontology (GO) functional analysis and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis, and verifying significant gene targets. To explain the potential mechanisms of Drynariae Rhizoma (DR) in the treatment of low back pain (LBP).
