Background: Resveratrol is a potent phytochemical known for its potential in treating cardiometabolic multimorbidity. However, its underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Our study systematically investigates the effects of resveratrol on cardiometabolic multimorbidity and elucidates its mechanisms using network pharmacology and molecular docking techniques. Methods: We screened cardiometabolic multimorbidity-related targets using the OMIM, GeneCards, and DisGeNET databases, and utilized the DSigDB drug characterization database to predict resveratrol’s effects on cardiometabolic multimorbidity. Target identification for resveratrol was conducted using the TCMSP, SymMap, DrugBank, Swiss Target Prediction, CTD, and UniProt databases. SwissADME and ADMETlab 2.0 simulations were used to predict drug similarity and toxicity profiles of resveratrol. Protein–protein interaction (PPI) networks were constructed using Cytoscape 3.9.1 software. Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) functional enrichment analyses were performed via the DAVID online platform, and target-pathway networks were established. Molecular docking validated interactions between core targets and resveratrol, followed by molecular dynamics simulations on the optimal core proteins identified through docking. Differential analysis using the GEO dataset validated resveratrol as a core target in cardiometabolic multimorbidity. Results: A total of 585 cardiometabolic multimorbidity target genes were identified, and the predicted results indicated that the phytochemical resveratrol could be a major therapeutic agent for cardiometabolic multimorbidity. SwissADME simulations showed that resveratrol has potential drug-like activity with minimal toxicity. Additionally, 6703 targets of resveratrol were screened. GO and KEGG analyses revealed that the main biological processes involved included positive regulation of cell proliferation, positive regulation of gene expression, and response to estradiol. Significant pathways related to MAPK and PI3K-Akt signaling pathways were also identified. Molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations demonstrated strong interactions between resveratrol and core targets such as MAPK and EGFR. Conclusions: This study predicts potential targets and pathways of resveratrol in treating cardiometabolic multimorbidity, offering a new research direction for understanding its molecular mechanisms. Additionally, it establishes a theoretical foundation for the clinical application of resveratrol.


Introduction
Cardiometabolic multimorbidity (CMM) is one of the most common patterns of multimorbidity among the elderly population, encompassing the co-occurrence of two or more cardiovascular and metabolic conditions such as ischemic stroke (IS), coronary heart disease (CHD), and diabetes mellitus (DM) [1].Currently, the prevalence of chronic diseases among the elderly population in China is reported to be 42.4%, with CMM affecting approximately 11.61% [2].CMM significantly impacts life expectancy, reducing it by 12 years in 60-year-olds with two diseases and by 15 years in those with three diseases compared to individuals without any cardiometabolic conditions [2].Given the global demographic shift towards an aging population, CMM has become a significant global health concern [3].This underscores the importance of intervention research and metabolism exploration in CMM in the elderly population.
Recent studies have demonstrated the potential benefits of dietary interventions and nutritional supplements in reducing cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.Additionally, there is growing interest in the therapeutic use of natural products and active ingredients found in Chinese herbs, such as ginseng, ginkgo biloba, and Ganoderma lucidum, for the treatment of CMM [4,5].However, multi-target natural products with significant pharmacological activity offer a greater advantage [6].
Resveratrol (3,5,4 ′ -trihydroxytrans-stilbene) is a member of the stilbene group within the polyphenol family, naturally occurring in various plants such as nuts, berries, and grapes.The compound exhibits antioxidant properties [7], anti-inflammatory effects [8], enhancement of mitochondrial function [9], neuroprotective capabilities, and potentially possesses anti-aging and immune-modulating effects [10].Resveratrol has garnered considerable attention for its efficacy in treating cardiovascular diseases.A randomized double-blind clinical trial (RCT) has demonstrated that resveratrol offers benefits for heart failure [11] and exhibits a protective effect against atherosclerosis among individuals at low cardiovascular risk [12].Moreover, resveratrol is widely utilized in diabetes treatment, primarily for its roles in reducing blood sugar levels, enhancing insulin sensitivity, and preserving pancreatic beta cells [13].Clinical trials have highlighted that resveratrol supplementation can effectively improve blood glucose control and insulin sensitivity, making it a potential adjunct in diabetes management [7].Nonetheless, the precise mechanism underlying the therapeutic effects of resveratrol on CMM remains elusive.
Network pharmacology is an innovative approach in pharmacological research rooted in systems biology, transcending the constraints of traditional single-target drug studies.It elucidates that drugs typically act on multiple targets and that these targets often intersect with various diseases.This methodology has been instrumental in predicting protein targets of active plant ingredients and their associated pathological pathways [8].Currently, there are limited studies on resveratrol for the treatment of CMM using network pharmacology.
The main objectives of this study are as follows: 1.

8.
Evaluate interactions between resveratrol and core targets through molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations.9.

In this study, we explored the mechanism of resveratrol in modulating CMM through network pharmacology.We employed molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations to assess the interaction properties between resveratrol and its key targets, validating these insights through GEO datasets.These findings offer novel insights into the therapeutic potential of phytochemicals in managing CMM.They also provide theoretical guidance and a scientific foundation for future experimental investigations and clinical applications.The flow chart of this study is shown in Figure 1.

Identification of CMM Target Genes
CMM encompasses conditions such as IS, CHD, and DM.To identify disease-specific targets, we used keywords like "ischemic stroke", "coronary heart disease", and "diabetes

Drug Prediction
The DSigDB database within the Enrichr platform (https://maayanlab.cloud/Enrichr/enrich#, accessed on 6 March 2024) was used to identify drug molecules linked to these multimorbidity genes, applying a filtering criterion of p < 0.05.From these analyses, the top 10 drugs were selected as potential candidates for treating CMM.

Protein-Protein Interaction (PPI) Network Analysis
Target genes associated with IS, CHD, DM, and their combinations (IS + CHD, IS + DM, CHD + DM, and IS + CHD + DM) were identified through respective intersections.Redundant genes were removed, and the resulting intersecting genes were combined with the compiled list of resveratrol target genes.Venny2.1 (https://bioinfogp.cnb.csic.es/tools/venny/, accessed on 10 March 2024) was used to visualize these intersections.The identified target genes were further analyzed using the String online platform (https: //cn.string-db.org/,accessed on 10 March 2024), specifying "Homo sapiens" as the species and setting a confidence score threshold of 0.7 for PPI network construction.Cytoscape 3.9.1 software, along with the Centiscape2.2and CytoNCA 2.1.6plugins, facilitated topology analysis and the creation of PPI networks based on degree values for the common targets.

Gene Ontology and Pathway Analysis
The intersection targets of resveratrol and CMM were analyzed using the DAVID online platform (https://david.ncifcrf.gov/,accessed on 10 March 2024) for Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment studies.This included investigation into molecular functions (MFs), cellular components (CCs), biological processes (BPs), and KEGG pathways.The top 10 GO entries and top 20 KEGG pathways were selected based on statistical significance (p < 0.05) and visualized using the bioinformatics online platforms (http://www.bioinformatics.com.cn/,accessed on 10 March 2024).In the KEGG database, the intersecting genes were subjected to KEGG Map-per analysis, focusing on "Homo sapiens".Pathway analyses encompassed metabolism, environmental information processing, cellular processes, organismal systems, and human diseases.

MCODE Clustering Analysis
Metascape (https://metascape.org/,accessed on 10 March 2024) was used for clustering similar proteins and building functional modules using molecular complex detection (MCODE).MCODE analysis identified protein relationship complexes and clustered them into gene clusters where each target has the same or similar gene function.Additionally, transcription factors that regulate other targets were predicted, providing information on target interactions.MCODE clustering analysis was conducted for common targets based on a minimum overlap of 3, p-value cutoff of 0.05, and minimum enrichment of 1.5.

Network Construction of Target-Pathway Interaction
The top 20 pathways resulting from the KEGG enrichment analysis of resveratrol and CMM were visualized using Cytoscape 3.9.1 software to create a compound-target-pathway network diagram.Network topology parameters were examined, with targets ranked by degree value.The top 20 targets from this analysis were intersected with those identified in the PPI network to pinpoint common targets, thereby identifying the final core action targets.

Molecular Docking
Molecular docking was conducted to predict potential therapeutic effects by assessing the binding energy between drug components and key protein targets.Molecular docking simulations were conducted using Schrödinger software 13.5 (February 2023 version).The active ingredient of resveratrol was retrieved from the TCMSP database in mol2 format.Six core macromolecular proteins were identified from the PDB database (https: //www.rcsb.org/,accessed on 15 March 2024), focusing on "Homo sapiens" and employing the minimum method for selecting "Unique Ligands".Protein structures underwent optimization using Schrödinger's Protein Preparation Wizard, which included hydrogen bond assignment and restrained minimization.Subsequently, protein structures were analyzed and receptor grids were generated based on native ligand interactions.Ligand docking was performed using Glide v.6.5 software in Standard Precision (SP Docking) mode.The results provided insights into compound-protein interactions, and structural analysis was conducted using Maestro 2023.

Molecular Dynamics
Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were performed using the Desmond v53011 Dynamics module within Schrödinger software.The protein-ligand complex was prepared using the Protein Prepare module with default parameters, which involved correcting binding information, adding hydrogen atoms, and removing water molecules.The prepared protein was solvated using the TIP3P water model and OPLS3 force field.Sodium ions (Na + ) were added to simulate physiological saline conditions.MD simulations were performed using default parameters.The Simulation Interactions Diagram function was utilized to analyze output files from the MD module.The root mean square deviation (RMSD) metric measured the average change in atom displacement relative to a reference frame across all structures in the trajectory, providing insights into the stability and dynamics of the protein-ligand complex.

Molecular dynamics simulations provide critical insights into the dynamic stability of receptor-ligand complexes under physiological conditions.Resveratrol was selected for simulations with MAPK3, EGFR, FGFR1, FGF2, STAT5, and STAT3 to assess binding stabilities considering binding affinity, complex interactions, and compound structural diversity.The stability of each system was evaluated using root mean square deviation (RMSD) and root mean square fluctuation (RMSF) over a 100 ns simulation period.A stable system typically exhibits RMSD values fluctuating under 0.2 nm. Figure 8 illustrates RMSD curves for the six protein-ligand complexes, showing stable trajectories throughout the simulation.These complexes maintained consistently low fluctuation ranges, indicating stability over time.Specifically, the MAPK3-resveratrol complex remained stable from 0 to 100 ns, while stability in the EGFR-resveratrol complex was achieved after 60 ns.RMSF analysis revealed higher values at the curves' beginnings and ends, suggesting initial and final spatial protein instability during dynamics.Residues in direct contact with ligands (highlighted in green) exhibited lower RMSF values due to stabilizing interactions.Overall, resveratrol showed efficacy in maintaining structural stability across these target proteins amidst dynamic environmental changes.The MAPK3-resveratrol complex exhibited reduced residue fluctuation, indicating enhanced rigidity in these regions (Figure 9).
Similarly, stable binding of resveratrol with MAPK, FGFR1, and FGF2 was evident from the low RMSF values of ligands (Supplementary Figure S2).The radius of gyration (Rg) indicated tight binding and system constraint correlating with protein folding.Stable Rg values were observed in the FGFR1-resveratrol, FGF2-resveratrol, and MAPK3-resveratrol complexes (Figure 11).

Acquisition and Target Validation of CMM in GEO Dataset
The datasets IS (GSE140275), CHD (GSE12288), and DM (GSE29221) retrieved from the GEO database underwent differential analysis using the "limma" R package, yielding 42 potential target genes (Supplementary Table S17).Volcano plots for each dataset (GSE140275, GSE12288, GSE29221) depicted differentially expressed genes (DEGs), with up-regulated genes marked in red and down-regulated genes in green (Figure 12A,C,E).Heatmaps illustrated the top 50 DEGs across GSE140275, GSE12288, and GSE29221 (Figure 12B,D,F).Subsequently, 18 genes common to both drug target genes and GEO datasets were identified (Supplementary Table S18).These 18 genes were further intersected with 324 resveratrolrelated genes and 42 CMM-related genes from traditional network pharmacology databases, resulting in the identification of 3 common target genes.Notably, FGF2 emerged as a pivotal target in the context of resveratrol's impact on CMM, as delineated by network pharmacology (Figure 12G).

Discussion
CMM represents a prevalent chronic condition worldwide, significantly contributing to mortality and disability rates across populations.Individuals with CMM face heightened risks of complications from various cardiovascular and metabolic diseases [14].Hence, identifying effective pharmacological treatments and elucidating underlying pathogenic mechanisms are crucial clinical imperatives.Natural products possessing pharmacological activities offer distinct advantages in alleviating clinical symptoms and in the prevention and treatment of CMM [15,16].
Resveratrol exhibits antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, contributing to improved glucose and lipid metabolism, enhanced cardiovascular function, and delayed aging processes [17].Research indicates that resveratrol reduces oxidative stress, modulates the renin-angiotensin system via AMPK activation, enhances endothelial function through the Nrf2-II enzyme pathway [18], and lowers blood pressure [19].Furthermore, it demonstrates efficacy in mitigating ischemia-reperfusion injury in ischemic heart disease [20].Resveratrol also regulates lipid metabolism, suppresses inflammation, and diminishes oxidative stress, thereby beneficially influencing various stages of atherogenesis and the progression of atherosclerosis [21].
In this study, we employed network pharmacology to construct drug-target pathway topological networks, facilitating the prediction of drug targets and mechanisms of action.By identifying shared targets between resveratrol and CMM, we revealed potential therapeutic effects of resveratrol on this condition by targeting key nodes in the protein-protein interaction network of common targets.Additionally, we conducted GO and KEGG analyses, uncovering several biological processes associated with resveratrol in CMM, such as positive regulation of cell proliferation [22], gene expression [23], response to estradiol [24], positive transcriptional regulation of the RNA polymerase II promoter [25], and positive regulation of protein phosphorylation [22].These processes predominantly occur in extracellular matrix, cell surface, myofibrillar membrane, and platelet α-granule lumen locations.Molecular functions identified include protein binding, growth factor activity, RNA polymerase II transcription factor activity, and ligand-activated sequence-specific DNA binding.
The cardiovascular protective effect of resveratrol is primarily attributed to its ability to reduce oxidative stress, regulate inflammation, and improve cardiovascular risk factors [32].Oxidative stress plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of various cardiovascular diseases [33,34].Resveratrol exerts a protective effect by scavenging free radicals, thereby safeguarding cells from oxidative damage [35].The mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascade is a critical signaling pathway that regulates numerous cellular processes, including proliferation, cell survival, and apoptosis, under both normal and pathological conditions such as oxidative stress [36].Excessive activation of the MAPK signaling pathway due to oxidative stress is associated with pathological cardiac hypertrophy; however, resveratrol can inhibit ROS-mediated activation of MAPK/ERK1/2 [37].Furthermore, resveratrol is known to inhibit the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, highlighting its anti-inflammatory properties.Studies have shown that resveratrol down-regulates the expression of NF-κB p65 and p38 MAPK, while up-regulating the expression of SIRT1, thereby reducing vascular inflammatory damage and atherosclerosis [38].Yang et al. found that resveratrol inhibits the production of COX-2/PGE2 induced by slow hormones by activating SIRT1, which can inhibit AP-1 (MAPK activation) and NF-κB transcription factor (acetylation) [39].Gao et al. discovered that resveratrol can reduce cardiac dysfunction and fibrosis induced by diabetes, an effect associated with a reduction in the inflammatory response and the down-regulation of the AT1R-ERK/p38 MAPK signaling pathway [40].
To identify pivotal proteins and compounds, we constructed a compound-target pathway network.By intersecting this network with a protein-protein interaction (PPI) network focused on common targets, we identified six core targets: EGFR, STAT3, MAPK3, FGF2, STAT5B, and FGFR1.Subsequent molecular docking validated these targets, revealing binding energies consistently below −4 kcal/mol, indicating high affinity.Among these, MAPK3 and EGFR exhibited the strongest affinity.EGFR, known for its widespread presence in fibroblasts, notably interacts with STAT3, presenting a promising therapeutic avenue to mitigate CMM [41].
In this study, we employed molecular dynamics simulations to investigate the binding interactions of resveratrol with EGFR, STAT3, MAPK3, FGF2, STAT5B, and FGFR1 in depth.Our findings indicate that resveratrol exhibits strong binding affinity with MAPK3, suggesting its potential to modulate MAPK3 activity.Notably, MAPK3 forms stable hydrogen bonds with nearly all small-molecule docking ligands studied.Further exploration of these interactions could pave the way for targeted therapeutic strategies in CMM.
Our study also revealed an intersection between CMM datasets from the GEO database and resveratrol targets, highlighting FGF2 as a common target.This underscores the pivotal role of FGF2 in the pathogenesis of CMM.FGF2, a member of the fibroblast growth factor family [42], is widely expressed in cardiovascular tissues and plays critical roles in cardiomyocyte cell cycle regulation, cardiac development, disease pathogenesis, and repair mechanisms.Additionally, FGF2 is involved in various metabolic processes, including bile acid metabolism, fatty acid metabolism, and glucose metabolism [43].Research has demonstrated FGF2's significant involvement in atherosclerotic plaque formation [42] and its influence on vascular smooth muscle cell behavior [44].Notably, FGF2 is recognized as a potent regulator of inflammation, capable of inducing pro-inflammatory cytokine expression in human aortic smooth muscle cells and promoting a shift from a contractile to a secretory phenotype [45].Our findings suggest that targeting FGF2 through resveratrol may offer therapeutic potential in managing the inflammatory response associated with CMM.
SwissADME is a web-based tool used to calculate essential physicochemical, pharmacokinetic, and drug-related parameters of molecules, crucial for predicting their medicinal potential [46].Pharmacokinetic and drug-like activity simulations performed by Swis-sADME aid in discovering active compounds with novel structures, thereby enhancing the likelihood of successful clinical drug development [47].According to SwissADME simulations, resveratrol demonstrates favorable intestinal solubility and blood-brain barrier permeability, is metabolizable by the liver, and exhibits promising drug-like properties.Additionally, ADMETlab analysis indicates minimal toxicity associated with resveratrol.
Resveratrol is a compound found in various plants and exists in both cis-and transisomers, with trans-resveratrol being more biologically active and stable than the cis-isomer.Most of the reported health benefits are attributed to the trans form [48]. Due to its structure and interaction with biological pathways, trans-resveratrol is believed to cross cell membranes more efficiently and exert antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects [49].A growing number of studies have shown that trans-resveratrol has higher bioavailability compared to regular resveratrol, particularly in cardiovascular health [50].For instance, Sung et al. found that resveratrol can effectively treat myocardial infarction induced by pressure overload by improving diastolic function, cardiac remodeling, myocardial energy, vascular function, and reducing cardiac fibrosis [51].Additionally, Guo et al. discovered that resveratrol can treat atherosclerosis by inhibiting the TGF/ERK signaling pathway [52].
Due to the promising preclinical effects of resveratrol, many randomized clinical trials (RCTs) have reported similar findings [32,53,54].However, the appropriate dose of resveratrol remains uncertain.Studies indicate that resveratrol provides health benefits in a dose-dependent manner, with low doses appearing to prevent various diseases [55].Rapid metabolism in the intestine and liver results in low bioavailability and limited effectiveness, encouraging the exploration of methods to improve its bioavailability [56].One approach is to combine resveratrol with other phytochemicals to protect it from rapid metabolism [57].Alternatively, using resveratrol in different forms may enhance its efficacy [58].Techniques such as derivatization, microencapsulation, nanomaterials, and bioenhancers have also been reported to be effective [59][60][61].
However, this study has some limitations.The reliability and accuracy of our compound and target predictions depend on the quality of the database data.While data mining methods provided valuable insights, validating these predictions through clinical trials and animal experiments would be of greater significance.Network pharmacology is primarily a data-driven and web-based research methodology; therefore, these findings should be further validated through clinical trials and animal experiments.

Conclusions
In conclusion, this study demonstrates the application of drug prediction techniques to explore phytochemicals for treating CMM.It systematically investigates the pharmacological and molecular mechanisms of resveratrol using multiple bioinformatics approaches, including network pharmacology, molecular docking, and molecular dynamics simulations.Resveratrol shows potential in treating CMM by mitigating pathological injury, inflammatory responses, and oxidative stress through diverse pathways.Molecular dynamics simulations have demonstrated the binding efficiencies of complexes such as MAPK3 and EGFR with resveratrol, highlighting its therapeutic potential through multi-target interactions.These findings provide valuable insights for the application and further development of resveratrol in managing CMM.
