Abstract:
ObjectiveTo explain the scientific connotation of Morindae Officinalis Radix （MOR） processed by Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma （Gly） by comparing the effect of raw products of MOR and processed products of MOR with different proportions of Gly （GMOs） on the improvement of renal function and hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal （HPG） axis， the protein expression of Wnt/β-catenin and transforming growth factor-β1 （TGF-β1）/Smad signal pathways in kidney Yang deficiency model rats induced by adenine. MethodGMOs were prepared according to method under MOR in 2020 edition of Chinese Pharmacopoeia. Rat model of kidney Yang deficiency was established by intragastrical administration of adenine， levels of follicle stimulating hormone （FSH）， luteinizing hormone （LH）， estradiol （E2） and testosterone （T） were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA）. Levels of urea nitrogen （BUN） and serum creatinine （SCr） were measured by spectrophotometry， hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining was used to evaluate the pathological changes of kidney， testis and epididymis. Immunohistochemistry （IHC） was used to analyze the protein expression of E-cadherin， α-smooth muscle actin （α-SMA）， Wnt2b， β-catenin， Smad1 and Smad4. ResultMOR processed with 100∶6 and 100∶12 proportions of Gly （short for GMO/100∶6 and GMO/100∶12） had the most obvious improvement on the body posture of kidney Yang deficiency model rats. GMO/100∶12 had the best effect on reducing the levels of BUN， SCr， FSH， LH and the ratio of E2/T. GMO/100∶6 and GMO/100∶12 had the best effect on regulating the protein expression of E-cadherin， α-SMA， Wnt2b， β-catenin， Smad1 and Smad4. ConclusionGMO/100∶6 and GMO/100∶12 have the a good effect on the improvement of renal function and HPG axis in kidney Yang deficiency model rats induced by adenine， which is related with the fact that they can regulate Wnt/β-catenin pathway in renal and testicular tissue and TGF-β1/Smads pathway in testicular tissue.
