- Abstract: Aim To explore the uric acid lowering effects and mechanisms of acteoside(AS)and echina-coside(ECH)extracted from Cistanche tubulosa.Methods Hyperuricemia(HUA)rat model was es-tablished using potassium oxonate(1.5 g·kg-1·d-1)combined with adenine(100 mg·kg-1·d-1).The HUA model rats were randomly divided into a model control group,an allopurinol group(30 mg·kg-1·d-1),AS low and high(50,100 mg·kg-1·d-1)dose groups,and ECH low and high(50,100 mg·kg-1·d-1)dose groups.A normal control group was previously established.After four weeks of admin-istration,the blood biochemistry analyzer was used to detect SUA UREA,CREA,adenosine deaminase(ADA)and uric acid(UUA)levels in urine.Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay was used to detect xan-thine oxidase(XOD)levels in serum.Kidney tissue was collected,and kidney coefficient was weighed and calculated.Hematoxylin eosin(HE)staining was used to observe renal pathological changes.Immunohisto-chemistry(IHC)and Real time PCR were used to de-tect the protein and mRNA expression levels of urate transporter 1(UR AT1),glucose transporter 9(GLUT9),organic anion transporter 1(OAT1),and organic anion transporter 3(OAT3)in renal tissue.Results AS and ECH could improve renal function in HUA model rats,reduce SUA levels,promote uric acid excretion,downregulate serum levels of ADA and XOD,and upregulate protein and mRNA expression of URAT1 and GLUT9 in renal tissue,while upregulating protein and mRNA expression of OAT1 and OAT3 in renal tissue.Conclusions The phenylethanoid glyco-sides AS and ECH from Cistanche tubulosa may exert uric acid lowering effects by improving renal function in HUA model rats,reducing ADA and XOD levels,and regulating the expression of URAT1,GLUT9,OAT1,and OAT3.
