摘要
目的:商陆皂苷甲(EsA)对大鼠Heymann肾炎(pasiveHeymannnephritis,PHN)的治疗作用及机理。方法:大鼠scFx1A抗原的抗体制成自身免疫性肾小球肾炎,EsA5,10和20mg·kg-1·d-1ip,连续14d。结果:EsA可以显著减少肾炎大鼠尿蛋白的产生,电镜和免疫荧光检查发现EsA治疗后肾炎大鼠病理情况明显好转。EsA治疗对血清中炎性细胞因子肿瘤坏死因子(TNF)、白细胞介素1(IL1)和白细胞介素6(IL6)的产生具有显著的抑制作用。结论:EsA对大鼠Heymann肾炎具有显著治疗作用。
AIM: To investigate the therapeutic effects of esculentoside A, a kind of saponin isolated from the root of the Chinese herb Phytolaca esculenta , on passive Heymann nephritis (PHN) in rats. METHODS: PHN was prepared by injecting Fx1A antibody in rats, and esculentoside A 5, 10 and 20 mg·kg -1 were administered intraperitonealy once a day for 14 consecutive days for the treatment of PHN rats. RESULTS: Esculentoside A 5, 10 and 20 mg·kg -1 decreased urine protein production significantly. Pathological analysis revealed that deposits of IgG along the capillary wall of the glomerulus, glomerulus base membrane thickness and electron dense deposits in PHN rats after treatment with esculentoside A were less than those in control rats. Decreased levels of TNF, IL 1 and IL 6 were observed in the sera of PHN rats following esculentoside A administration. TNF, IL 1 and IL 6 are important cytokines involved in the pathogenesis of inflammatory lesions. CONCLUSION: Esculentoside A possessed potent anti inflammatory effects on PHN. Inhibition of inflammatory cytokine production may partially explain the anti inflammatory effects of esculentoside A.
