Pharmacological Mechanism of Zuojin Pill for Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease: A Network Pharmacology Study by Mi Lv, Jinke Huang, Jiayan Hu, Wenxi Yu, Ping Liu, Kunli Zhang, Fengyun Wang

“…The findings suggest that ZJP alleviates the symptoms of GERD and improves the prognosis by regulating ROS metabolism, thereby reducing the secretion of proinflammatory cytokines like IL-1β, COX-2, CXCL8, and MMPs, regulating the expression of oncogenes such as JUN and FOS, and maintaining the normal expression of tumor suppressor genes such as TP53 and MYC. However, whether the effect of this modulation of ROS metabolism is positive or negative needs to be further verified by pharmacological experiments.…”
