Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effect of evodiamine on renal fibrosis in rats with chronic renal failure(CRF)by regulating sphingosine kinase 1(SphK1)/S1P signaling pathway.Methods CRF rat model was established by feeding 0.5％adenine diet.The rats after modeling were randomly divided into model group,evodiamine low-and high-dose groups,Niaoduqing Granules group and evodiamine high-dose+K6PC-5(SphK1 activator)group.At the end of intervention,the levels of 24-hour urinary protein(24 h-UTP),serum urea nitrogen(BUN)and serum creatinine(SCr)were detected.The levels of monocyte chemoattractant protein 1(MCP-1)and interleukin 6(IL-6)in serum of rats were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).The pathological changes of renal tissue and collagen volume fraction(CVF)were observed by hematoxylin-eosin(HE)and Masson staining.The mRNA expressions of transforming growth factor β1(TGF-β1)and type Ⅳcollagen(COL-Ⅳ)in renal tissue were detected by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction(qRT-PCR).The protein expressions of SphK1 and S1P in renal tissue were detected by Western Blot.Results Compared with the normal group,the model group showed obvious inflammatory infiltration and collagen fiber deposition,the number of glomeruli decreased in renal tissue,and the expression levels of SCr,BUN,24h-UTP,IL-6,MCP-1,CVF,mRNA expressions of TGF-β1 and COL-Ⅳ,protein expessions of SphK1 and S1P were significantly increased(P＜0.05).Compared with the model group,the histopathological changes of the low-dose and high-dose evodiamine groups and the Niaoduqing Granules group was improved,and the expression levels of SCr,BUN,24 h-UTP,IL-6,MCP-1,CVF,mRNA expressions of TGF-β1 and COL-Ⅳ,protein expessions of SphK1 and S1P were significantly decreased.For intergroup comparison of each index,there were differences between the low-dose evodiamine group and the high-dose evodiamine group(P＜0.05),but there was no significant difference between the high-dose evodiamine group and the Niaoduqing Granules group(P＞0.05).Compared with the high-dose evodiamine group,the histopathological changes of the high-dose evodiamine+K6PC-5 group was further aggravated,and the improvement effect of all indexes were reversed(P＜0.05).Conclusion Evodiamine improves renal fibrosis in CRF rats by inhibiting SphK1/S1P signaling pathway.
