Effect of carthamus tinctorius L.injection on caspase-3,bcl-2 expression related to renal ischemia/reperfusion injury in rats
Objective: To investigate the effect of carthamus tinctorius injection on expression of caspase-3 and bcl-2 after renal ischemia/reperfusion injury.Methods: Seventy-five SD rats were randomly divided into three groups(n=25
in each):normal control group
ischemia/reperfusion group and treatment group.After the renal ischemia/reperfusion injury model was established
the serum creatinine、the urine osmotic pressure and the blood osmotic pressure were measured to evaluate the change of renal function;the apoptosis rate in ischemia/reperfusion renal tissure were measured by TUNEL method;the caspase-3 and bcl-2 concentration were measured by immunohistochemistry.Results:The renal function got worse
and the apoptosis rate
bcl-2 and caspase-3 concentration were significantly higher in ischemia/reperfusion group than those in normal control group.As compared with ischemia/reperfusion group
the renal function was improved
the apoptosis rate decreased
bcl-2 expression increased and caspase-3 expression decreased significantly in treatment group.Conclusion:Carthamus tinctorius injection has significant effect on the up-regulation of bcl-2 and down-regulation of caspase-3 expression in renal ischemia/reperfusion injury.
