However, its therapy mechanisms are still unclear. Therefore, this research is designed to explore the molecular mechanisms of SXXTDP in treating MI.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Methods: The active ingredients of SXXTDP and their corresponding genes of the active ingredients were retrieved from the Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology (TCMSP) database. MI-related genes were identified via analyzing the expression profiling data (accession number: GSE97320). Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis were performed to study the shared genes of drug and disease. Through protein\u2013protein interaction (PPI) network and the Cytoscape plugin cytoHubba, the hub genes were screened out. The compounds and hub targets binding were simulated through molecular docking method.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Results: We obtained 21 active compounds and 253 corresponding target genes from TCMSP database. 1833 MI-related genes were identified according to P&amp;lt;0.05 and |log2FC| \u2265 0.5. 27 overlapping genes between drug and disease were acquired. GO analysis indicated that overlapping genes were mainly enriched in MAP kinase activity and antioxidant activity. KEGG analysis indicated that overlapping genes were mainly enriched in IL-17 signaling pathway and TNF signaling pathway. We obtained 10 hub genes via cytoHubba plugin. Six of the 10 hub genes, including PTGS2, MAPK14, MMP9, MAPK1, NFKBIA, and CASP8, were acted on molecular docking verification with their corresponding compounds of SXXTDP.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Conclusion: SXXTDP may exert cardioprotection effect through regulating multiple targets and multiple pathways in MI.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1042\/bsr20204211","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,21]],"date-time":"2021-07-21T08:20:35Z","timestamp":1626855635000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1042\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Exploration of the molecular targets and mechanisms of suxiao xintong dropping pills for myocardial infarction by network pharmacology method"],"prefix":"10.1042","volume":"41","author":[{"given":"Daqiu","family":"Chen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiology, Affiliated Nanping First Hospital, Fujian Medical University, Nanping 353000, Fujian Province, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yanqing","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiology, Affiliated Nanping First Hospital, Fujian Medical University, Nanping 353000, Fujian Province, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yixing","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiology, Affiliated Nanping First Hospital, Fujian Medical University, Nanping 353000, Fujian Province, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Qiaoxing","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiology, Affiliated Nanping First Hospital, Fujian Medical University, Nanping 353000, Fujian Province, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xianhua","family":"Ye","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiology, Affiliated Nanping First Hospital, Fujian Medical University, Nanping 353000, Fujian Province, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1707-0027","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shanghua","family":"Xu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiology, Affiliated Nanping First Hospital, Fujian Medical University, Nanping 353000, Fujian Province, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shunxiang","family":"Luo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiology, Affiliated Nanping First Hospital, Fujian Medical University, Nanping 353000, Fujian Province, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"288","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,8,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"2021111620503230400_B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"774","DOI":"10.1093\/eurheartj\/ehw224","article-title":"The pathophysiology of acute myocardial infarction and strategies of protection beyond reperfusion: a continual challenge","volume":"38","author":"Heusch","year":"2017","journal-title":"Eur.
