摘要: 目的 探究天然黄酮类化合物紫杉叶素(taxifolin)在实验性动脉型肺动脉高压(PAH)中的治疗作用,并进一步探究其改善PAH的潜在分子机制。方法 本研究首先采用网络药理学预测紫杉叶素在PAH中的潜在靶点。用野百合碱(MCT)构建PAH模型后,给大鼠施用紫杉叶素或溶剂,评估血流动力学参数、右心室肥厚和肺血管重构。转录组测序分析潜在的分子机制,并通过免疫荧光染色验证结果。结果 网络药理学分析表明,紫杉叶素与白细胞趋化性和血管调节相关的生物学过程密切相关。在MCT诱导的PAH大鼠中,紫杉叶素显著降低了右心室收缩压(P<0.001),减轻了右心室肥厚(P<0.05),并抑制了肺小动脉重构(肌化血管数量显著减少:P<0.000 1,小血管中膜厚度显著降低:P<0.000 1)。转录组学分析显示,紫杉叶素干预选择性逆转PAH相关趋化因子结合基因的异常表达,并调节Ackr1和Ackr2等非典型趋化因子受体表达,提示其可能通过调控趋化因子信号发挥肺血管保护作用。结论 紫杉叶素改善了实验性PAH,在减轻肺血管重构方面显示出疾病修饰作用,其可能通过调节白细胞趋化性实现。这些发现提示了紫杉叶素的治疗潜力,并表明趋化性通路是一个可处理的靶点。

Abstract: Objective To investigate the therapeutic effect of the natural flavonoid taxifolin in experimental pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), and to further explore its potential molecular mechanisms underlying the amelioration of PAH. Methods This study first employed network pharmacology to predict the potential targets of taxifolin in PAH. After establishing a PAH model with monocrotaline (MCT), rats were administered with taxifolin or vehicle. Hemodynamic parameters, right ventricular hypertrophy, and pulmonary vascular remodeling were evaluated. Transcriptomic sequencing and analysis were performed to investigate the underlying molecular mechanisms, with results validated through immunofluorescence staining. Results Network pharmacology indicated that taxifolin was closely associated with biological processes related to leukocyte chemotaxis and vascular regulation. In MCT-induced PAH rats, taxifolin significantly reduced right ventricular systolic pressure (P<0.001), attenuated right ventricular hypertrophy (P<0.05), and inhibited pulmonary arteriolar remodeling (the number of muscularized vessels was significantly reduced, P<0.000 1, and the medial wall thickness of small vessels was significantly decreased, P<0.000 1). Transcriptomic analysis revealed that taxifolin intervention selectively reversed the aberrant expression of PAH-related chemokine-binding genes and regulated the expression of atypical chemokine receptors such as Ackr1 and Ackr2, suggesting that it may exert pulmonary vascular protection through regulating chemokine signaling. Conclusions Taxifolin ameliorates experimental PAH, showing disease-modifying effects in attenuating pulmonary vascular remodeling, potentially through the modulation of leukocyte chemotaxis. These findings suggest the therapeutic potential of taxifolin and highlight the chemotaxis pathway as a tractable target.
