Abstract: Objective To explore the potential mechanism of Xiaoyao tonifying kidney formula in treating Hashimoto thyroiditis (HT). Methods The component targets of Xiaoyao tonifying kidney formula and the related disease targets of HT were intersected, and the protein-protein interaction (PPI) network and drug-component-intersection target networks were constructed using network pharmacology. Sixty-five rats were randomly divided into a control group (n=10) and an experimental autoimmune thyroiditis (EAT) model group (n=55). The EAT rat model was prepared by providing high-iodine water and multiple injections of thyroglobulin. After successful modeling, the EAT model rats were randomly divided into model, selenium yeast, and Xiaoyao tonifying kidney groups. The selenium yeast group was given 25.2 mg/(kg·d) selenium yeast tablet aqueous solution, the Xiaoyao tonifying kidney group was given 11.79 mg/(kg·d) Xiaoyao tonifying kidney formula solution, and the control and model groups were given equal volumes of distilled water. After continuous intragastric administration for 8 weeks, the serum of rats in each group was collected to detect the levels of ALB, AKT1, and TNF-α through enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The feces of rats in each group were collected and tested for metabolomics using the ultraperformance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) method. Results A total of six core components of Xiaoyao tonifying kidney formula in treating HT were collected, including quercetin, kaempferol, β-sitosterol, stigmasterol, isorhamnetin, and luteolin. Five core targets containing ALB, AKT1, TNF, IL6, and TP53 were also collected. The results of these experiments showed that, compared with the selenium yeast group, the Xiaoyao tonifying kidney group could significantly downregulate the expression of ALB, AKT1, and TNF-α (P < 0.01). Metabolomic analysis identified five common differential metabolites, including (4Z, 7Z, 10Z, 13Z, 16Z, 19Z)-docosahexaenoic acid ethyl ester, (S)-2-methylmalate, 2-keto-6-acetamidocaproate, nicotianamine, and xanthoxic acid. Twentydifferent metabolic pathways were involved, such as phenylalanine metabolism, taste transduction, and arachidonic acid metabolism. Conclusion Xiaoyao tonifying kidney formula can regulate HT through multiple targets, components, metabolites, and metabolic pathways.
