Shenfuqiangxin Capsule inhibits apoptosis through mitogen-activated protein kinase signal pathway in rats with cardio-renal syndrome induced by infrarenal aortic-clamping
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of Shenfuq- iangxin capsule and the underlying mechanism on cardio-renal syndrome (CRS) in rats induced by infrarenal aortic-clamping after renal ischaemia. METHODS: Male Wistar rats underwent infrarenal aortic-clamping after renal ischaemia or sham operation. Th...

Summary: | OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of Shenfuq- iangxin capsule and the underlying mechanism on cardio-renal syndrome (CRS) in rats induced by infrarenal aortic-clamping after renal ischaemia. METHODS: Male Wistar rats underwent infrarenal aortic-clamping after renal ischaemia or sham operation. The surviving CRS rats were divided randomly into three groups: CRS group (CRS + 10 mL. kg^-1·d^-1 pure water by gavage), SFQX group (CRS + 13.2 g crude drug·kg^-1·d^- 1 Shenfuqiangxin by gavage), and handle region peptide(HRP) group(CRS+10 mgl kg HRP by vein). Sham operation rats were given 10 mL·kg^-1·d^-1 pure water. Treatments were given 8 weeks after surgery, which lasted for 4 weeks. The rats were detected for heart structure and function by transthoracic echocardiography. PPR mRNA was detected by Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR). To determine whether the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signal pathway is included in the heart and kidney protective function of Shenfuqiangxin capsule, MAPK related proteins such as posophorylated C-Jun amino terminal kinase (p-JNK), posophorylated extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (p-ERK1/2), posophor- ylated p38 (p-p38) were examined by Western BLot. Apoptosis in heart and kidney tissues were detected by dUTP Nick End Labeling staining. RESULTS: Shenfuqiangxin capsule alleviated myo- cardial apoptosis and inhibited PRR mRNA expres- sion and p-JNK, p-ERK1/2, p-p38 proteins expres- sion in CRS rats. CONCLUSION: All the results suggest that Shenfuq- iangxin capsule improves the injured heart and kid- ney function maybe through inhibition of MAPK response pathway. |
