ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To investigate the renal injury induced by cadmium chloride(CdCl_2) and the protective effect of vitamin C(VC) in mice.METHODS:
Forty healthy clean grade male Kunming mice were randomly divided into 4 groups control group(double distilled water gavage and intraperitoneal injection), VC group(200 mg/kg VC gavage and double distilled water intraperitoneal injection), CdCl_2 group(double distilled water gavage and 2 mg/kg CdCl_2 intraperitoneal injection), VC+CdCl_(2 )group(200 mg/kg VC gavage and 2 mg/kg CdCl_2 intraperitoneal injection). Exposure for 30 days.24 hours after the last exposure, the eyeballs were taken out for blood, and the renal tissue was immediately taken out to calculate kidney coefficient and then separate renal cells. The levels of reactive oxygen species(ROS) were detected by DCFH-DA kit and flow cytometry. Blood urea nitrogen(BUN), serum creatinine(Scr)and ß2 microglobulin(ß2-MG), cystatin C(Cys C), superoxide dismutase(SOD), glutathione peroxidase(GSH-Px), malondialdehyde(MDA), Caspase3 and Caspase9 kits were used to detect the corresponding indicators respectively. The contents of Cd~(2+) and Zn~(2+) in serum and kidney were detected by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry.RESULTS:
The levels of kidney coefficient and BUN, Scr, ß2-MG were 1.36±0.10, (19.34±0.63)mmol/L, (61.30±2.04)mmol/L and(1.02±0.10)g/mL respectively in CdCl_(2 )group, which were higher than those in the control group and VC group(P<0.05). The levels of the above four indexes in VC+CdCl_(2 )group were 1.09±0.10, (9.65±0.50)mmol/L, (41.85±1.27)mmol/L and(0.61±0.01)g/mL respectively, which were lower than those in CdCl_2 group(P<0.05). CdCl_2 exposure resulted in unclear glomerular contour, swelling of renal tubules, interstitial hyperemia, and exfoliated epithelial cells in the lumen. VC pretreatment could improve the above changes. The levels of Cd~(2+) in serum and renal tissue of mice in CdCl_2 group were(4.36±0.07)µg/L, (18.6±1.95)µg/g respectively, which were higher than that of control group and VC group(P<0.05), in VC+CdCl_2 group, the level were(2.12±0.06)µg/L and(2.18±0.09)µg/g, they were lower than that of CdCl_2 group(P<0.05). The level of serum Zn~(2+ )in CdCl_2 group was(11.35±1.03)µg/L, that was lower than control group(P<0.05). The level of serum Zn~(2+) in VC+CdCl_2 group was(26.98±3.13)µg/L, which was higher than that of CdCl_2 group(P<0.05). The levels of ROS, MDA, Caspase3 and Caspase9 in kidney tissue of mice in CdCl_2 group were(1.86±0.13), (4.78±0.15)nmol/mg, 1.50±0.24 and 1.69±0.17 respectively, which were higher than those in control group(P<0.05). And the level of GSH-Px was(261.3±23.36)U/mg, it was lower than that in control group(P<0.05). Compared with the CdCl_2 group, the levels of ROS, MDA, Caspase3 and Caspase9 in VC+CdCl_2 group decreased, and the level of GSH-Px increased, the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).CONCLUSION:
CdCl_2 exposure can lead to oxidative stress, damage of glomerulus and renal tubules, imbalance of zinc ion homeostasis, and damage of renal function. VC pretreatment can reduce the damage caused by CdCl_2 to a certain extent.Palavras-chave
