Acupuncture research utilizes omics technologies to systematically understand its complexity. This approach reveals how acupuncture regulates the neuroendocrine immune network, offering insights into traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and Meridian specificity.

Area of Science:

  • Integrative Medicine
  • Systems Biology
  • Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)

Background:

  • Acupuncture, an ancient Chinese therapy, presents complexity that benefits from systematic study.
  • The advent of systems biology and omics technologies provides novel platforms for objective TCM research.
  • Omics approaches allow dynamic molecular profiling for a holistic understanding of acupuncture's effects.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically review and analyze the application of omics technologies in acupuncture research.
  • To elucidate the mechanisms by which acupuncture exerts its therapeutic effects.
  • To explore the relationship between omics findings, ZHENG classification, and Meridian specificity.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of acupuncture studies employing omics technologies (genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, etc.).

  • Analysis of how omics data contribute to understanding the neuroendocrine immune (NEI) network regulation by acupuncture.
  • Correlation of omics-derived global effects with ZHENG classification and acupoint specificity.

    • Main Results:

    • Omics approaches demonstrate acupuncture's ability to treat diseases by regulating the NEI network.
    • Changes in the NEI network reflect the global impact of acupuncture interventions.
    • Global effects observed through omics correlate with ZHENG information, potentially explaining Meridian and Acupoint Specificity.

    Conclusions:

    • Omics technologies offer a powerful lens for systematically studying acupuncture and TCM.
    • Acupuncture's therapeutic actions are linked to the modulation of the NEI network.
    • Further research integrating omics with ZHENG classification can illuminate acupoint characteristics and synergistic mechanisms.
