Abstract:
[Objective]To study the effect of Qingre Yiqi Tongluo(QRYQTL) preseription on proteinria in diabetic nephropathy(DN) rats by means of ob-servation on the expressions of fibroblast-specific protein 1(FSP1) and P-cadherin in in glomerulus in rats.[Methods]60 Sprague-Dawleg rats were divided into normal control group(N), Diabetic nephropathy model group(M), QRYQTL preseription treatment group(Q) and Irbesartan treatment group(I). DN model rats were prepared by intraperitoneal injection with STZ after unilateral nephrectomy. The rats were sacrificed after 12 weeks of the treatment. The creatinine clearance(Ccr),blood urea nitrogen(BUN) and 24h urinary protein(UPro) were tested. Immunohistochemical staining was performed to explore the expressions of P-cadherin and fsp1 in glomerulus.[Results] ①Compared with M group, the levels of 24-hour upro in Q group were significantly de-creased(P<0.01).The levels of Ccr and BUN in Q group were both lower than those of M group( P<0.05). ② Compared with M group, the expressions of P-cadherin in glomerulus in Q group were increased( P<0.01) and the expressions of FSP1 were obviously decreased( P<0.01). The expressions of FSP1 in Q group were decreased compared with that of I groups(P<0.05).[Conclusions]QRYQTL preseription weakened the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of podocyte by means of increasing the expression of P-cadherin and reducing the expression of FSP1, thereby decreased the Upro and protect the renal function.
