Polygoni Multiflori Radix Improves Dyslipidemia by Regulating Hepatocyte Lipid Metabolism Mediated via the AMPK/SREBP-2/PCSK9/LDLR Signaling Pathway

OBJECTIVE: To clarify the molecular mechanism of Polygoni Multiflori Radix in improving dyslipidemia and provide a scientific basis for its clinical application. METHODS: Network pharmacology, molecular docking and simulation were used to predict and verify active components and core targets of Polygoni Multiflori Radix. HFD-induced hyperlipidemic mice were grouped and administered for 28 days; serum indices, hepatic pathology and AMPK/SREBP-2/PCSK9/LDLR pathway expression were detected. RESULTS: < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS: Polygoni Multiflori Radix effectively improves HFD-induced dyslipidemia by regulating the AMPK/SREBP-2/PCSK9/LDLR pathway to ameliorate hepatocyte lipid metabolism and reduce oxidative stress/liver injury.
