Mangiferin(MGF), a pharmacologically active compound in various plants including Mangifera indica, has a strong anti-infammatory activity. However, the effects of MGF on renal infammatory injury in spontaneously hypertensive rats(SHRs) remain unclear. The purpose of this study was to investigate the protective effects and mechanisms of MGF on renal infammatory injury in SHRs.Methods: MGF was used in SHRs at the doses of 10, 20, 40 mg/kg/d for 8 weeks consecutively. The blood and urine were collected for assessment of renal function. Renal tissues were collected for histological,immunohistochemistry, ELISA, Western blot and real time reverse transcription PCR(RT-PCR) analysis.Results: The results showed that the levels of interleukin 6(IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-a(TNF-a), monocyte chemoattractant protein-1(MCP-1) and recombinant chemokine C-C-Motif receptor 2(CCR2) were increased in SHRs, meanwhile, the level of IL-10 was decreased in SHR. Treatment of MGF inhibited the expression of IL-6, TNF-a, MCP-1 and CCR2, and promoted the expression of IL-10. Furthermore, the content of blood urea nitrogen(BUN) and serum uric acid(SUA) was significantly increased in the model group, and treatment of MGF had no obvious effects on these parameters at all dose levels.Conclusion: Our study proved that the kidneys of SHRs had significant infammatory injury, and MGF had the protective effects on renal infammatory injury in SHRs;The protective mechanism may be mediated partly by the MCP-1/CCR2 signaling pathway. Thus, it is a potential new drug for the treatment of hypertension.展开更多
