ABSTRACT
Aim ① To observe the relationship between TGF?_1 and diabetic nephropathy in experimental rats;② To explore the effects of ACEI-fosinopril and ATRA-losartan on renal TGF?_1 in diabetic rats and their renoprotective mechanism. Method Four groups of rats were studied, A groupnormal control rats;B group strephtozotocin induced diabetic rats;C groupdiabetic rats treated with fosinopril;D group diabetic rats treated with losartan.Blood glucose, urinary excretion rates of albumin, TGF?_1,as well as the expressions of TGF?_1 protein and TGF?_1 mRNA in renal cortex and the relative kidney were measured. Result ① The urinary excretion rates of albumin and TGF?_1 in B,C ,D groups were significant higher than those in A group, fosinopril and losartan can decrease the urinary excretion rates of the two proteins but can’t make the rate normal. ② The expressions of TGF?_1 protein in renal cortex in B group was much higher than that in other 3 groups, fosinopril and losartan can inhibit the expression of TGF?_1. ③ The expressions of TGF?_1 mRNA in renal cortex increased greatest in B group, fosinopril and losartan can low the expression. Conclusion The overexpression of TGF?_1 protein and mRNA in renal cortex of diabetic rats may be one of the mechanisms of diabetic nephropathy. Fosinopril and losartan can suppress the expressions of TGF?_1 protein and mRNA in renal cortex, decrease the urinary excretion rates of TGF?_1. So alleviate the patholochanges in kidney.
