Compound Kushen injection (CKI), a medicine in widespread clin. use in China, has proven therapeutic effects on cancer. However, few mol. mechanism analyses have been carried out. To address this problem, bioinformatics approaches combining weighted gene co-expression network anal. with network pharmacol. methods were undertaken to elucidate the underlying mol. mechanisms of CKI in the treatment of esophageal cancer (ESCA). First, the key gene modules related to the clin. traits of ESCA were analyzed by WCGNA. Based on the results, the hub genes related to CKI treatment for ESCA were explored through network pharmacol. Mol. docking simulation was performed to recognize the binding activity of hub genes with CKI compounds The results showed that the potential hub targets, including EGFR, ErbB2, CCND1 and IGF1R, are therapeutic targets of CKI for the treatment of ESCA. Moreover, these targets were significantly enriched in many pathways related to cancer and signalling pathways, such as the PI3K-Akt signalling pathway and ErbB signalling pathway. In conclusion, this research partially highlighted the mol. mechanism of CKI in the treatment of ESCA, offering great potential in the identification of the effective compounds in CKI and biomarkers for ESCA treatment.
