Objective: To explore the molecular mechanism of Capparis spinosa in the treatment of systemic sclerosis ((SSC)) based on network pharmacology. Methods: GEO, Genecards, Pharmgkb, TTD and Drugbank databases were used to obtain SSC targets, related literatures and Swisstargetprediction databases were used to obtain the main components of Citrus and their corresponding targets, and intersection was used to obtain prediction targets. Log in to the String database to analyze the protein interaction of the prediction target(PPI), further used Cytoscape to obtain the core gene by network topology analysis, and the core gene was docked with the main components of Capparis spinosa. The prediction targets were analyzed by gene ontology (GO) analysis and Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis using R software. Results: A total of 15 active components and their targets were obtained, 3171 SSC targets were obtained, and 66 predicted targets were obtained by intersection. Ten PPI core genes such as VEGFA, TNF, AKT1, PTGS2 and MMP9 were obtained by topological analysis. GO analysis involved many biological processes such as reactive oxygen species metabolic process、protein kinase B signaling、regulation of inflammatory response、phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase signaling and so on. KEGG pathway analysis showed PI3K-Akt signaling pathway, Proteoglycans in cancer, Focal adhesion, Rap1 signaling pathway and other signaling pathways. Conclusion: The molecular mechanism of Capparis spinosa in the treatment of SSC is predicted by the method of network pharmacology, which provides theoretical basis and data support for the basic research of Citrus officinalis in the treatment of SSC.
