Abstract

Background: It remains a challenge to effectively treat prostate cancer (PCa) that affects global men's health. It is essential to find a natural alternative drug and explore its antitumor mechanism due to the serious toxic side effects of chemotherapy.

Methods: The targets and signaling pathways were analyzed by network pharmacology and verified by molecular docking and LC-MS. The proliferation, apoptosis, invasion, and migration of DU145 cells were detected by the CCK-8 method, flow cytometry, and Transwell, respectively. The Bcl-2, caspase-3, CXCL12, and CXCR4 expressions and Akt1 phosphorylation were determined by Western blot. Akt1 overexpression was applied to identify the involvement of the Akt1- related CXCL12/CXCR4 pathway in regulating PCa. Nude mouse tumorigenesis was performed to analyze the effect of quercetin on PCa in vivo.

Results: Network pharmacology analysis displayed that quercetin was the main active component of the Yishen Tongluo Jiedu recipe and Akt1 was the therapy target of PCa. LC-MS analysis showed that quercetin existed in the Yishen Tongluo Jiedu recipe, and molecular docking proved that quercetin bound to Akt1. Quercetin inhibited the proliferation of DU145 cells by upregulating caspase-3 and downregulating Bcl-2 expression, promoting apoptosis and reducing invasion and migration abilities. In vivo, quercetin downregulated CXCL12 and CXCR4 expressions and inhibited PCa development by the Akt1-related CXCL12/CXCR4 pathway.

Conclusion: As the active component of the Yishen Tongluo Jiedu recipe, quercetin inhibited PCa development through the Akt1-related CXCL12/CXCR4 pathway. This study provided a new idea for PCa treatment and a theoretical basis for further research.

Keywords: Yishen Tongluo Jiedu recipe, quercetin, PCa, Akt1, CXCL12/CXCR4 pathway, network pharmacology.
