Abstract:
Objective:To preliminarily study the immune response mediated by inducible costimulation molecule in the role of essential hypertensive renal damage .Methods: The blood pressure of spontaneously hypertensive rats and the wild control group (Wistar-Kyoto rats)was dynamically monitored by noninvasive tail artery blood pressure measuring instrument .The urine protein of the rats in 24 hours was dynamically detected by ELISA .The levels of ICOS protein and its mRNA in the rat′s kidneys were dynamically detected by immunohistochemistry , RT-PCR, respectively.The levels of IL-17A and TGF-β1 in the rat′s plasma and kidneys were dynamically detected by ELISA ,immunohistochemistry ,respectively.The renal pathological changes of the rats were detected by HE and MASSON staining.Results:The blood pressure and urine protein in 24 h of SHRs were significantly higher than that of group WKY from 6 weeks.The expression of ICOS protein and its mRNA in SHRs were significantly higher than that of WKY rats from 6 weeks,and there are significantly positive correlations between the dynamic change of ICOS protein and its mRNA and renal fibrosis score of SHRs (rA=0.813,PA<0.05;rB=0.753,PB<0.05).The expression of IL-17A and TGF-β1 in SHR′s plasma and kidneys were significantly higher than that of WKY rats at the weeks 10 and 23.HE and Masson staining showed that the degree of renal fibrosis of SHRs was sig-nificantly higher than that of WKY rats at 23 weeks.Conclusion:The immune response mediated by ICOS plays an important role in hypertensive renal damage .
