Taohong Siwu Decoction exerts anticancer effects on breast cancer via regulating MYC, BIRC5, EGF and PIK3R1 revealed by HTS2 technology

Taohong Siwu Decoction (TSD), a classical gynecological prescription that was firstly reported 600 years ago, has been widely used in the adjuvant treatment of breast cancer (BRCA) in China. However, the mechanism of action of TSD in treating BRCA has remained unclear. Here, high-throughput sequenci...

description Taohong Siwu Decoction (TSD), a classical gynecological prescription that was firstly reported 600 years ago, has been widely used in the adjuvant treatment of breast cancer (BRCA) in China. However, the mechanism of action of TSD in treating BRCA has remained unclear. Here, high-throughput sequencing-based high-throughput screening (HTS2) technology was used to reveal the molecular mechanism of TSD, combination with bioinformatics and systems pharmacology in this study. Firstly, our results showed that TSD exerts an anticancer effect on BRCA cells by inhibiting cell proliferation, migration and inducing apoptosis as well as cell-cycle arrest. And our results from HTS2 suggested that herbs of TSD could significantly inhibit KRAS pathway and pathway in cancer, and activate apoptosis pathway, p53 pathway and hypoxia pathway, which may lead to the anticancer function of TSD. Further, we found that TSD clearly regulates MYC, BIRC5, EGF, and PIK3R1 genes, which play an important role in the development and progression of tumor and have significant correlation with overall survival in BRCA patients. By molecular docking, we discovered that Pentagalloylglucose, a compound derived from TSD, might directly bind to and inhibit the function of BRD4, which is a reported transcriptional activator of MYC gene, and thus repress the expression of MYC. Taken together, this study explores the mechanism of TSD in anti-BRCA by combining HTS2 technology, bioinformatics analysis and systems pharmacology.
