Effects of RPM on renal function and ultrastructure after ischemia-reperfusion in rats
Objective:To investigate the effect of rapamycin on renal function and ultrastructure changes after renal ischemia-reperfusion in rats.Methods:Acute ischemic renal injury model was established(right kidney ectomized
45 min of left renal ischemia and reperfusion for 24h).Thirty male Wistar rats were randomly divided into 3 groups:sham operation group(control group or group C
without renal ischemia)
renal ischemia-reperfusion group(ischemia-reperfusion group or group I
without rapamycin)
renal ischemia-reperfusion and(RPM 4mg/(kg·d)×3d
reperfusion at 2h before the last operation) intravenous injection group(rapamycin group or group U).changes of renal function and renal uhrastructure were measured BUN level
serum creatinine values.Results:Serum creatinine(168±37)μmol/L and BUN concentration(22±6)mmol/L in group I were significantly higher than those in group U:serum creatinine(113±17)μmol/L and BUN concentration(13.8±2.3)mmol/L(P<0.05).under the observation of electromicrosope
the renal ultrastructure of group Cwas normal
the ultrastructure was greatly injured in group I
large quantity of apoptosis residues were stopped in the renule intracellular lipid accumulation and cell apoptotis presented meanwhile
it was obviously ameliorated in group U.Conclusion:Rapamycin greatly improves renal function and provides remarkable protection on renal ultrastructure after ischemia-reperfusion of kidney in rats.
