Berberine Modulates LPA Function to Inhibit the Proliferation and Inflammation of FLS-RA via p38/ERK MAPK Pathway Mediated by LPA1

Figure 4

Berberine potentially binds to LPA1, as detected by molecular docking. (a) The structure of berberine. (b) The schematic diagram illustrating the combination of berberine with LPA1. (c) Berberine potentially binds to Lys39A of LPA1 by two hydrogen bonds and to Arg124A by the hydrophobic force. LPA1, lysophosphatidic acid receptor 1; Arg, arginine; and Lys, lysine.
