The IPA core analysis of the molecular targets of TQ involved in atherosclerosis revealed that 27 molecules (ACE, CA1, CA12, CA13, CA14, CA2, CA5B, CA6, CA7, CA9, CNR1, CYP2C19, IL6, IMPDH2, MTNR1A, MTNR1B, NOS3, NR3C1, NR3C2, PDE7A, PGR, PPARA, PPARG, PTGS2, SOAT1, TLR9, XIAP) were involved in the regulation of atherosclerosis (Supplementary Figure S1). Here, IL6 is linked to atherosclerosis.
