Abstract:
Objective:To reveal effect of celastrol(Cel)on apoptosis of liver and kidney cells in preeclampsia(PE)rats and its protective effect.Methods:Fifty pregnant SD rats were randomly divided into 5 groups(n=10):Control group,PE group,PE+low-dose Cel group(PE+L-Cel),PE+medium-dose Cel group(PE+M-Cel),PE+high-dose Cel group(PE+H-Cel),PE rat model was induced by injection of lipopolysaccharide through tail vein.Rats in PE+L-Cel group,PE+M-Cel group and PE+H-Cel group were intraperitoneally injected with 5,10 and 20 mg/(kg·d)Cel daily from 14～20 day of pregnancy.Control group and PE group were in-jected with equal volume of normal saline.Systolic blood pressure(SBP)and urine albumin of rats in each group were measured after treatment.Cell apoptosis of liver and kidney tissues were detected by TUNEL staining.Bcl-2 and Caspase-9 expressions in liver and kidney tissues were detected by immunohistochemical staining.ELISA was used to detect serum IFN-γ,IL-4,IL-17 and IL-10 levels.Results:Compared with PE group,SBP and urine albumin levels of PE+L-Cel group,PE+M-Cel group and PE+H-Cel group were decreased(P<0.05),cells apoptosis rates of liver and kidney tissues were decreased(P<0.05),positive expression of Caspase-9 was significantly reduced,Bcl-2 level was significantly increased,serum IFN-γ and IL-17 levels were reduced(P<0.05),while IL-4 and IL-10 levels were increased(P<0.05).Conclusion:Cel can reduce symptoms of PE rats and inhibit liver and kidney cell apoptosis,which may play a therapeutic effect by correcting imbalance of Th1/Th2 and Th17/Treg cells in PE rats.
