Effect of Shuxuetong injection on the expressions of TGF-β1 and Col-IV in renal tissues in diabetic rats
Objective:To investigate the effect of Shuxuetong injection on the urine protein excretion changes and expressions of transforming growth factor β(1TGF-β1)and collegen type Ⅳ(Col-Ⅳ)in renal tissues in diabetic rats.Methods:Diabetic nephropathy was induced by intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin(STZ).Rats were randomly divided into control group
untreated DN group
Shuxuetong group and Benazepril group.Urinary albumin excretion rate(UAER)
β2-microglobulin(β2-MA)and KW/BW(kidney weight/body weigh)were determined 8 weeks later.The expressions of TGF-β1 and Col-Ⅳ in renal tissues were determined by using immunohistochemical methods.Results:After interference
compared with the untreated DN group
UAER
β2-MA
KW/BW in the Shuxuetong group were significantly down-regulated(P <0.05 or P <0.01);the expressions of TGF-β1 and Col-Ⅳ in renal tissues were significantly inhibited(P <0.05).Conclusion:Shuxuetong injection has a renoprotective effect on diabetic rats
which may be relate to the down-regulation of the expressions of TGF-β1 and Col-Ⅳ in renal tissues.
