An interaction network between biological target and functional protein was produced before screening and collecting the key therapeutic targets of VC against CG, biological processes, and signaling pathways. In addition, ingenuity pathway analysis with cloud platform indicated that anti\u2010CG mechanisms of VC were achieved through modulating a cluster of molecular pathways, such as tumor necrosis factor (TNF) pathway. Meanwhile, 18 core targets of VC against CG were identified, and the most important TNF, interleukin\u20106 (IL6), and Jun biotargets were obtained, respectively. In further validation in human study, cellular TNF\u2010\u03b1, IL6, and c\u2010Jun expressions in patient's CG samples were elevated significantly, accompanied with detectable urinary tract infection. Beneficially, VC\u2010dosed CG mice resulted in downregulated expressions of endogenous TNF\u2010\u03b1, IL6, and c\u2010Jun in blood and bladder samples.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Collectively, these bioinformatic findings and experimentative data uncover the therapeutic targets and biological
