Matrine may be protective against colorectal cancer (CRC), but how it may work is
unclear. Thus, we explored the underlying mechanisms of matrine in CRC.
Matrine-related proteins and CRC-related genes and therapeutic targets of matrine
in CRC were predicted using a network pharmacology approach. Five targets,
including interleukin 6 (IL-6), the 26S proteasome, tumor necrosis factor alpha
(TNF-?), transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-?1) and p53, and corresponding
high-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) signaling and T helper cell differentiation
were thought to be associated with matrine's mechanism. Expression of predicted
serum targets were verified in a 1,2-dimethylhydrazine dihydrochloride-induced
CRC model rats that were treated with matrine (ip) for 18 weeks. Data show that
matrine suppressed CRC growth and decreased previously elevated expression of
IL-6, TNF-?, p53, and HMGB1. Matrine may have had a therapeutic effect on CRC via
inhibition of HMGB1 signaling, and this occurred through downregulation of IL-6,
TNF-?, and HMGB1.
