文摘目的探讨六味地黄汤抗肾间质纤维化的作用机制。方法采用5/6肾切除法复制肾间质纤维化大鼠模型,随机分为假手术组、模型组、六味地黄汤组和依那普利组。六味地黄汤组予6.25 g/(kg·d)六味地黄汤灌胃,依那普利组予10 mg/(kg·d)马来酸依那普利悬浊液灌胃,假手术组和模型组予10 m L/(kg·d)蒸馏水灌胃,每日1次,连续12周。采用免疫组化法检测缺氧诱导因子-1α(HIF-1α)和Ⅰ、Ⅲ型胶原(CollⅠ、CollⅢ)在肾组织中的表达。结果与假手术组比较,模型组肾组织中HIF-1α、CollⅠ、CollⅢ的表达均明显升高(P<0.05);与模型组比较,六味地黄汤组和依那普利组肾组织中HIF-1α和CollⅠ、CollⅢ的表达均降低(P<0.05),且六味地黄汤组优于依那普利组(P<0.05)。结论六味地黄汤可能通过下调HIF-1α和CollⅠ、CollⅢ的表达,改善肾组织慢性缺氧,发挥抗肾间质纤维化的作用。
