Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effect of an ACE inhibitor ,perindopril ,on the expression of SR‐A in renal tubuloint‐erstitium of diabetic rats .Methods Diabetes was induced in male Sprague‐Dawley rats by injection with streptozotocin .The rats were then randomly divided into 3 groups:normal control group;untreated diabetes mellitus group and diabetes mellitus group trea‐ted with perindopril .After a 24‐week treatment ,tubulointerstitial injury index was assessed with Masson′s trichrome sections .The expression of SR‐A mRNA was detected by RT‐PCR and the expression of SR‐A protein in renal tubulointerstitium was detected by immunohistochemistry .Results The tubulointerstitial injury index ,the expression of SR‐A mRNA were significantly higher in the diabetes group than those in normal control group .Perindopril treatment not only attenuated the tubulointerstitial injury ,but also reduced the overexpression of SR‐A mRNA in diabetic rats .The expression of SR‐A protein was most obvious in renal tubulointer‐stitium in diabetic rats ,which was obviously attenuated by perindopril treatment(P<0 .05) .Conclusion The findings of the this study indicate that perindopril may have renoprotective effects on diabetic nephropathy via inhibiting the expression of SR‐A in re‐nal tubulointerstitium .
