Abstract:
Objective To observe the molecular mechanism of adaptive response of the kidney and skeleton and brain issues in the high altitude hypoxia; To discuss the unity of yin and yang oscillation relationship of kidney and brain marrow.Methods SPF KM mice were randomly divided into control group and model group according to random number table method. Mice in the model group were exposed to high altitude hypoxia cabin for successive 21 d. On the 22nd day, mice got out of the cabin and their body weight was measured, and then they were put to death through eyeball blood sampling. The activities of lactic LDH and Na+-K+-ATPase in brain tissue were detected by spectrophotometric colorimetry. The PFK activities of brain and skeletal muscle were detected by ELISA. Meanwhile the contents of EPO and EPOR in the kidney were measured by ELISA. The mRNA expressions of HIF-1α and AQP-4 in brain were assessed by RT-PCR. At the same time, the protein expressions of HIF-1α and AQP-1 in brain and the protein expression of Mb in skeletal muscle were detected by Western blot.Results Compared with the normal group, the LDH and PFK in brain tissue and the content of EPO in kidney tissue were all raised in the model group(P<0.05). Meanwhile the mRNA expressions of HIF-1α and AQP-4 and the protein expressions of HIF-1α and AQP-1 in brain were all increased in the mice from the model group; the activities of PFK and the protein expression of Mb in skeletal muscle were also raised in the model group. But the activity of Na+-K+-ATPase in brain tissue and the content of EPOR in kidney tissue both decreased in the model group (P<0.05,P<0.01).Conclusion Adaptive response and the unity of yin and yang oscillation relationship between kidney, skeleton and brain tissue happen in high altitude hypoxia.
