Abstract:
Objective To continually observe the monocyte chemoattraetant protein-1(MCP-1) expression in rats with anilateral ureteml obstruction, and to explore the relationship between MCP-1 and p38MAPK, and as well as the nuclear transcription faetor-кB (NF-кB). Method Thirty-six rots were randomly assigned to sham op-eration group (contorl group) and unilateral ureteral obstruction group (UUO group). Renal tissues were examined under light microscope 8 h,24 h and 72 h after operation, Immunhistochemistry was used to measure the expression of MCP-1 and NF-кB. RT-PCR and Western bot were employed to determine MCP-1 mRNA and p38MAPK pro-tein,respectively.Serum creatinine and ure nitrogen were examined with biochemistry methods. Results Com-pared with control group, the expression of MCP-1 mRNA in UUO group dramatically increased (control group:0.401±0.039;UUO group 8 h:0.894±0.137;24 h: 1.416±0.135;72 h: 1.894±0.14, P<0.05).The explosion of MCP-1 protein in renal interstitium of UUO group also markedly increased (control group: 50.08±3.210. UUO group 8 h:108.25±4.325;24 h: 179.34±3.237;72 h: 230.12±3.026, P<0.05),and the expressions of NF-кB and p38MAPK in UUO group were also stimulated (p38MAPK: control group: 110.65±9.734. UUO group 8 h:200.15±8.326; 24 h:272.74±7.244;72 h:549.11±9.544, P<0.05). There were positive correlations between MCP-1 and p38MAPK as well as NF-кB(r=0.74,r=0.81,P<0.01).Conclusions Tne increased expression of MCP-1 may participate in the injury mechanisms of renal tubulointesti-tinm in UUO rats. The increased expression of p38MAPK may induce NF-кB expression in the tubules, and then NF-кB promotes the expression of MCP-1.
