文摘[目的]基于血清核转录因子2(Nrf2)/血红蛋白氧合酶-1(HO-1)信号通路探讨丹参多酚酸盐对膜性肾病(MN)大鼠氧化应激的影响。[方法] 80只SD雄性大鼠随机选取20只为正常对照组,其余60只大鼠均采用尾静脉注射阳离子化牛血清白蛋白(C-BSA)构建MN模型,MN模型大鼠复制成功后随机分为模型组,盐酸贝那普利组(10 mg/kg),丹参多酚酸盐分为低、中、高剂量组(16.7、33.3、66.7 mg/kg)。药物灌胃连续4周,1次/d,正常组和模型组予以相等体积的生理盐水灌胃。治疗后检测大鼠24 h尿蛋白定量(24 h UTP)。给药结束后,经大鼠腹主动脉取血检测血尿素氮(BUN),血清肌酐(Scr),三酰甘油(TG),总胆固醇(TC),总蛋白(TP),白蛋白(ALB)水平;过碘酸-六胺银(PASM)染色观察大鼠肾组织病理形态;免疫荧光检测肾组织免疫球蛋白G(IgG)、补体C3沉积情况;采用酶联免疫吸附测定法(ELISA)检测大鼠血清中超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、丙二醛(MDA)表达情况;蛋白免疫印迹法(Western Blot)和实时荧光定量聚合酶链式反应(Real-time PCR)观察肾组织Nrf2、HO-1蛋白及Nrf2、HO-1 mRNA表达。[结果]与正常组相比,模型组大鼠肾小球出现体积增大、基底膜增厚、“钉突”形成,沿毛细血管襻有补体C3、IgG弥漫性沉积,24 h UTP、血清TG、TC水平显著升高(P<0.01),TP、ALB水平显著降低(P<0.01),BUN、SCr差异无统计学意义;血清中SOD表达显著降低(P<0.01),MDA表达显著升高(P<0.01);肾组织Nrf2、HO-1 mRNA及蛋白表达显著降低(P<0.01)。与模型组相比,各治疗组大鼠24 h UTP、血清TG、TC水平显著降低(P<0.05或P<0.01),TP、ALB水平显著升高(P<0.01),但丹参多酚酸盐低剂量组改善不明显;各治疗组肾脏病理损害明显改善;SOD表达水平显著升高(P<0.01),MDA表达水平明显降低(P<0.01);Nrf2、HO-1mRNA及蛋白表达显著升高(P<0.05或P<0.01)。[结论]丹参多酚酸盐可能通过调控Nrf2/HO-1信号通路,缓解肾组织氧化应激,进而保护肾脏及延缓疾病进展。
