Objective: To investigate the influence of sustained hyperglycemia on protein expression of transforming growth factorβtype I receptor (TGFβRI) and transforming growth factorβtype II receptor (TGFβRII) in kidney of diabetic rats. Methods: 20 male Wistar rats were randomly divided into two groups: control group (group C) and streptozotozin-induced diabetic rats (group D). The rats of two groups were used to study protein expression of TGFβRI and TGFβRII with immunohistochemistry and image analysis at 9 weeks. Results: Compared with group C
the protein expression of TGFβRI and TGFβRII in group D had increased by 100% and 118%
respectively. Conclusion: Sustained hyperglycemia can significantly increase protein expression of TGFβRI and TGFβRII in kidney of diabetic rats. It may play an important role in the progression of diabetic nephropathy.
