Objective To investigate the role and mechanism of phosphate myosin light chain (pMLC) in the rat kidney of chronic allograft nephropathy (CAN) model. Methods The left donor kidneys from Fisher (F344) rats were orthotopically transplanted into Lewis recipients. Meanwhile, the F344 rats and LEW rats with resection of the right kidney served as control groups. Animals were harvested respectively at the 4th, 8th and 12th week after transplantation. The creatinine clearance rate (CCr) was calculated by urine creatinine of 24-h urine. Blood samples were collected from rats for determination of serum creatinine. The expression of pMLC was detected by using Western blotting and immunohistochernistry, and that of integrin-linked kinase (ILK) by using immunohistochemistry. Results Mononuclear cells infiltration of allografts was markedly aggravated as compared to the controls. Allografts got severe interstitial fibrosis and tubular atrophy at 12th week after transplantation. The expression of pMILC and ILK was up-regulated in the kidney of CAN rats after transplantation, and increased more significantly as the time went on. The expression of pMILC was significantly correlated with 24-h urine protein excretion (r= 0. 273, P<0. 05), serum creatinine levels (r = 0. 434, P<0. 01 ), the number of tubulointerstitial infiltrated mononuclear cells (r = 0. 525, P<0. 01 ), the number of smooth muscle cells (SMC) in vascular wall (r= 0. 676, P<0. 01 ) and the extent of interstitial fibrosis (r= 0. 570, P<0. 01 ).There was a significantly positive correlation between ILK and pMLC in CAN rats at the 4th week after transplantation (r= 0. 778, P<0. 01 ). Conclusion pMLC might play an key role in CAN, and the over-expression of ILK might be involve in the pathogenesis of CAN.

Chronic cerebral hypoperfusion (CCH) is a common pathological change of central nervous system diseases and is closely associated with cognitive impairment. A number of studies have shown that inflammation is involved in the pathogenesis and progression of CCH-induced cognitive impairment. In the condition of CCH, the activation of inflammatory response in the brain can lead to a variety of pathological injuries, such as white matter lesions, blood-brain barrier destruction, degeneration and necrosis of hippocampal neurons, etc. Therefore, inhibition of inflammatory response is expected to provide a new therapeutic target for CCH-induced cognitive impairment. This article reviews the mechanism of inflammation in CCH-induced cognitive impairment.
