Emerging evidence suggests that hypoxia is a critical factor in the advancement of DKD. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is an effective alternative therapy for DKD. The Qi\u2010Gui\u2010Sheng\u2010Jiang\u2010San (QGSJS) decoction is an effective formula for treating DKD clinically, and its mechanism may be related to regulating hypoxia response, necessitating further investigation and a thorough analysis of the underlying biological mechanisms.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Initially, we employed network pharmacology methods to collect and screen the active constituents of the QGSJS decoction from the Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology Database and Analysis Platform (TCMSP) and relevant chemical databases. Subsequently, the targets of these active components were predicted via the PubChem and TCMSP databases, while relevant targets associated with DKD were sourced from GeneCards, OMIM, and DrugBank. In the second phase, we built a protein\u2013protein interaction (PPI) network via the STRING database to identify core targets. This was followed by GO and KEGG enrichment analyses to assess if the QGSJS decoction\u2032s mechanisms of action are linked to hypoxic response regulation. Finally, in vivo experiments were performed to confirm the findings from the network pharmacology analysis and to comprehensively elucidate the QGSJS decoction\u2032s mechanisms of action.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The network pharmacology analysis revealed 57 active components in the QGSJS decoction, capable of influencing 72 targets associated with DKD. Quercetin, kaempferol, and isorhamnetin are likely to be the key constituents of the QGSJS decoction. The PPI network suggests that HIF1A serves as a hub gene, closely associated with IL6, NFKBIA, and VEGFA. Enrichment analysis indicates that the QGSJS decoction modulates the HIF\u20101 signaling pathway and impacts biological processes and molecular functions linked to HIF\u20101\n                      <jats:italic>\u03b1<\/jats:italic>\n                      .
