摘要
Background： The expression of dendritic cell-specific intercellular adhesion molecule 3-grabbing nonintegrin （DC-SIGN） in renal tubular epithelial cells has been thought to be highly correlated with the occurrence of several kidney diseases, but whether it takes place in renal tissues during hemorrhagic shock （HS） is unknown. The present study airned to investigate this phenomenon and the inhibitory effect of Vitamin C （VitC）. Methods： A Sprague Dawley rat HS model was established in vivo in this study. The expression level and location of DC-SIGN were observed in kidneys. Also, the degree of histological damage, the concentrations of tumor necrosis factor-or and interleukin-6 in the renal tissues, and the serum concentration of blood urea nitrogen and creatinine at different times （2-24 h） alter HS （six rats in each group）, with or without VitC treatment belbre resuscitation, were evaluated. Results： HS induced DC-SIGN expression in rat tubular epithelial cells. The proinflarnmatory cytokine concentration, histological damage scores, and functional injury of kidneys had increased. All these phenornena induced by HS were relieved when the rats were treated with VitC before resuscitation. Conclusions： The results of the present study illustrated that HS could induce tubular epithelial cells expressing DC-SIGN, and the levels of proinflarnmatory cytokines in the kidney tissues improved correspondingly. The results also indicated that VitC could suppress the DC-SIGN expression in the tubular epithelial cells induced by HS and alleviate the inflammation and functional injury in the kidney.
