BACKGROUND: Tinnitus treatment remains a global challenge, and current therapeutic approaches are still controversial. This study aims to elucidate the potential mechanisms of Xiao-Chai-Hu-Tang (XCHT) in treating tinnitus through the analysis of network pharmacology, mendelian randomization and molecular docking, and molecular dynamics simulation analysis. We hope to contribute to the research on the target of action of traditional Chinese medicine and exploration of the mechanism of tinnitus.
METHODS: We utilized network pharmacology to screen potential targets of action of XCHT on tinnitus. Mendelian randomization was employed to determine the causal relationship between potential targets of action and tinnitus. Finally, molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulation with clear targets and the combination of the active ingredient in effectiveness.
RESULTS: Through network pharmacology, we identified 38 potential targets of action. Mendelian randomization analysis revealed that HIF1A (OR [95 % CI] = 0.78 [0.65, 0.94], P = 0.008) and CCND1 (OR [95 % CI] = 1.22 [1.00, 1.49], P = 0.04) exhibited significant results with tinnitus. Molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulation of HIF1A and active ingredients demonstrated good binding efficacy.
CONCLUSION: HIF1A may play a key role in the treatment of tinnitus by XCHT, which may play a certain protective role in tinnitus patients and may inhibit the occurrence and development of tinnitus. However, the specific mechanism and effect need to be further studied and verified.
