Abstract:
Objective To research on reversal mechanism of active ingredients of Sanhuang Xiexin Decoction on lipopolysaccharide-induced acute kidney injury.Methods C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into 6 groups: control group, LPS group, rhein group, berberine group, baicalin group and dexamethasone group.8 mice in each group.Control group were injected intraperitoneally with 0.9%NaCl 0.5 mL, and the remaining groups were injected intraperitoneally with LPS 0.1 mL/g.The mice of rhein group, berberine group, baicalin group and dexamethasone group were respectively injected intraperitoneally rhein, berberine, baicalin ( 0.1 mL/g ) and dexamethasone ( 0.0001 mL/g ) 2 h before LPS injection.One day after LPS treatment, mice were decapitated and blood collected, diagnostic kits and automatic biochemical analyzer were used to detected urea nitrogen and creatinine.TNF-αand IL-6 concentrations in serum were detected by ELISA kit.HE staining and immunohistochemistry were performed in the kidney tissues.expression of apoptosis protein detected by Western blot.ResuIts Compared to control group, the blood urea nitrogen, serum creatnine, TNF-αand IL-6 level were significantly lower ( P<0.05 ) .HE staining found the renal tubular epithelial cell which treated with LPS were swelling, degeneration, loss, narrow lumen and tube type and exudate, renal interstitial edema, inflammatory cells infiltration.And symptoms of the other group were significantly slight.Immunohistochemical results showed that the expression of Bax and Caspase3 in LPS group was obviously increased, while the expression of the others group was decreased, neither did Bcl-2.Western blot results showed that apoptosis proteins Bax, Cleave-caspase3, CytoC expression increased of LPS group, while the other groups were lower than LPS group.But Bcl-2 expression reduced in LPS group and increased in others group.ConcIusion The effective constituent of Sanhuang Xiexin Decoction can reversal of LPS induced acute kidney injury and its mechanism of action is similar to that of dexamethason.
