【目的】 探讨肾病Ⅰ号方对慢性肾衰竭大鼠的治疗作用及机制。【方法】 采用连续腺嘌呤灌胃法建立慢性肾衰竭大鼠模 型。建模成功后,将大鼠随机分为模型组,肾病Ⅰ号方低、高剂量组,每组10只。分组干预。干预结束后,采用苏木精- 伊红(HE)染色法观察肾组织病理变化,Masson染色法观察肾组织纤维化,免疫组织化学法检测肾组织胶原蛋白Ⅳ(Col-Ⅳ) 表达,Western Blot法检测肾组织黏着斑激酶(FAK)、Ras、丝裂原活化蛋白激酶(MAPK)的蛋白表达,采用体外实验验证肾 病Ⅰ号方对FAK-Ras-MAPK信号通路的作用。【结果】 与正常组比较,模型组肾间质纤维化面积增大,肾组织Col-Ⅳ及FAK、 Ras、MAPK蛋白表达水平升高,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05);与模型组比较,肾病Ⅰ号方低、高剂量组肾间质纤维化面积 缩小,肾组织Col-Ⅳ及FAK、Ras、MAPK蛋白表达水平降低,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05),其中高剂量组效果更显著。体 外验证结果显示:与对照组比较,含药血清组细胞FAK、Ras、MAPK蛋白表达水平显著降低(P<0.05)。【结论】 肾病Ⅰ号方 可有效改善肾衰竭大鼠肾纤维化,其机制可能与抑制FAK-Ras-MAPK信号通路有关。

Objective To investigate the therapeutic effects and mechanisms of Nephropathy FormulaⅠ(NF-Ⅰ) in rats with chronic renal failure (CRF). Methods A CRF model was established using continuous adenine gavage. After successful modeling,the rats were randomly divided into normal group,model group,low-dose and highdose of NF- Ⅰ groups, with 10 rats in each group. The group-specific interventions were administered. Renal histopathological changes were observed via hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining,renal fibrosis was evaluated using Masson staining,collagen Ⅳ(Col-Ⅳ) expression in renal tissues was detected by immunohistochemistry,and protein expression of focal adhesion kinase (FAK),Ras,and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) in renal tissues was analyzed via Western Blot. Additionally,in vitro experiments were performed to validate the effect of NF-Ⅰ on the FAK-Ras-MAPK signaling pathway. Results Compared with the normal group,the model group exhibited a significant increase in renal interstitial fibrosis area and elevated protein expression levels of Col-Ⅳ, FAK, Ras, and MAPK in renal tissues, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). In comparison to the model group,both the NF-Ⅰ low-dose and high-dose groups showed significant reductions in renal interstitial fibrosis area and downregulation of Col-Ⅳ,FAK,Ras,and MAPK protein expression levels, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05),while the effects in the high-dose group were superior. In vitro validation results demonstrated that,compared with the control group,the protein expression levles of cellular FAK,Ras and MAPK were decreased in drug-containing serum group (P<0.05). Conclusion NF-Ⅰ effectively ameliorates renal fibrosis in CRF rats, potentially through suppression of the FAK-Ras-MAPK signaling pathway.
