Abstract:
Objective To explore the role of transcription factors such as nuclear factor-kappa B(NF-?B) and glucocorticoid receptor(GR) in the pathogenesis of Adriamycin(ADM)-induced nephrosis in rats and the therapeutic effects of dexamethasone(Dex) and cyclosporin(CsA) on these animals.Methods The DNA-binding abilities of NF-?B and GR in cortex of kindey were examined with electrophoretic mobility shift assay(EMSA) and isotopic radioautography on the 7th,14th,21th and 28th day after a single intravenous injection of ADM,and the therapeutic effects of Dex and CsA were estimated.The biochemistry parameters from blood and urine of rats and the urine protein excretion were also measured.Results The NF-?B DNA-binding ability was significantly increased after 7 days and achieved maximum after 28 days(P0.05).Conclusion The DNA-binding ability of NF-?B is abnormally increased and that of GR is decreased in cells from cortex of kindey in Adriamycin-induced nephrotic rats.The NF-?B DNA-binding ability can be inhibited and the urine protein excretion is decreased by the treatment of CsA.
