ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE To investigat e the effects of water extract (WCS)and ethanol extract (ECS)from the root of Caragana sinica on hyperuricemia (HUA)in mice. METHODS Kunming mice were randomly divided into normal control group , model group ,allopurinol group (positive control ,5 mg/kg),benzbromarone group (positive control ,7.8 mg/kg),WCS low-dose , medium-dose and high-dose groups (38,75,150 mg/kg),ECS low-dose ,medium-dose and high-dose groups (50,100,200 mg/kg), with 10 mice in each group. Except for the normal control group ,the other mice were given potassium oxazinate intraperitoneally and hypoxanthine intragastrically for consecutive 7 d to establish HUA model. On the third day of modeling ,mice in each administration group were given corresponding drugs intragastrically ,and normal control group and model group were given equal volume of normal saline once a day for 5 consecutive days.The body weight of mice were weighted during administration ;one hour after the last administration ,the organ indexes of liver ,kidney and spleen were calculated ;the contents of serum uric acid (SUA), blood urea nitrogen (BUN)and serum creatinine (SCR);the activity of xanthine oxidase (XOD)in serum and liver tissue were determined. Relative mRNA and protein expressions of XOD in liver tissue ,relative expre ssions of GLUT9,URAT1 and OAT 1 in renal tissue were all detected ;and the pathological changes of renal tissue were observed. RESULTS There were no significant differences in liver index and spleen index in each group (P>0.05). Compared with normal control group , except for allopurinol group , there were no significant differences in the body weight and the contents of BUN and SCR in mice of other administration groups (P>0.05);the renal index and SUA content of mice in the m odel group and allopurinol group were significantly increased (P<0.05);in the model group ,the XOD activity in serum and liver tissue ,the relative mRNA and protein expression of XOD in liver tissue ,the relative expressions of GLUT 9 and URAT 1 protein in renal tissue were significantly increased (P<0.05),and the relative expression of OAT 1 protein in renal tissue was significantly decreased (P< 0.05). Compared with model group ,renal indexes of mice were decreased significantly in WCS and ECS groups (P<0.05),and the pathological damage of renal tissue was significantly improved ;SUA content ,XOD activity in serum and liver tissue ,the relative mRNA and protein expression of XOD in liver tissue ,and the relative expression of URAT 1 protein in renal tissue were decreased significantly in administration groups (P<0.05). The relative expression of GLUT 9 protein in renal tissue of mice in benzbromarone group and ECS high-dose group decreased significantly (P<0.05);relative expression of OAT 1 protein in renal tissue of mice in benzbromarone group ,WCS low-dose and high-dose groups ,ECS low-dose group were increased significantly (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS WCS and ECS can significantly decrease the contents of SUA in HUA model mice ,and improve pathological state of renal tissue ,the mechanism of which may be associated with inhibiting XOD activity and uric acid reabsorption,and down-regulating protein and mRNA expression of XOD.
