Abstract: Objective To explore the molecular mechanism of pleurotus ostreatus-zedoary turmeric combination in the treatment of pancreatic cancer by means of network pharmacology. Methods The main active components and action targets of pleurotus ostreatus-zedoary were obtained by TCMSP database, the pancreatic cancer related targets were obtained by OMIM, TTD, GeneCards and other databases, the intersection targets of traditional Chinese medicine and disease were obtained, and the protein interaction network (PPI) was analyzed by String database, and the core targets were screened. Finally, the ClueGO plug-in of Cytoscape3.7.2 software is used to analyze the enrichment of intersection targets by GO and KEGG, and a visual network of active components-target-signal pathway of traditional Chinese medicine is constructed. Results Six active components of pleurotus ostreatus-zedoary in the treatment of pancreatic cancer were obtained and 10 core targets,enrichment analysis mainly involved in biological processes and 4 mainly regulated signaling pathways in cancer. Conclusion The research based on network pharmacology shows that pleurotus ostreatus-zedoary can play a role in the treatment of pancreatic cancer through active components such as β-sitosterol and regulating PI3K-Akt signaling pathway, indicating that traditional Chinese medicine has the characteristics of multi-components, multi-targets and multi-pathways, and has a certain value in clinical application.
