[Action mechanism and active components of Fuzheng Huayu Recipe against liver fibrosis via regulating macrophage with network pharmacology and transcriptomics methods].

We have demonstrated that Fuzheng Huayu Recipe(FZHY) plays an anti-liver fibrosis role by regulating the polarization of intrahepatic macrophages, while the key targets in macrophages and the effective components of FZHY remain unclear. In this study, we obtained the potential anti-liver fibrosis target set of FZHY through network pharmacological analysis, and the differentially expressed gene set of FZHY for the prevention and treatment of mouse liver fibrosis through RNA-Seq of the liver tissue. The potential core targets of FZHY against liver fibrosis were obtained by degree value analysis of the common target proteins between the above two sets.
