Objective To investigate the therapeutic effect of Ginsenoside Rb1 on type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) rats and its underlying mechanism. Methods Rats were randomly divided into a normal group and a modeling group. Except for the normal group,T2DM models were established in the modeling group rats by feeding a high-fat,high-sugar diet combined with intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (STZ). Successfully modeled rats were then randomly divided into a model group, a low-dose Ginsenoside Rb1 group, a high-dose Ginsenoside Rb1 group,and a pathway activator group,with 12 rats in each group. Continuous intervention lasted for 8 weeks. After the intervention, blood glucose and serum levels of kidney function-related indicators, including 24-hour urinary protein,blood urea nitrogen (BUN),and serum creatinine (SCr),were measured. The pathological morphology of renal tissue was observed by hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining. The mRNA levels of inflammatory factors tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α),interleukin-1β(IL-1β),and IL-6 in renal tissue were detected by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). Renal oxidative stress indicators, including reactive oxygen species (ROS),malondialdehyde (MDA),glutathione (GSH),and superoxide dismutase (SOD), were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The expression levels of proteins related to the stimulator of interferon genes (STING) / TANK-binding kinase 1(TBK1) / interferon regulatory factor 3(IRF3) pathway in the kidney were detected by Western Blot. Results Compared with the normal group, rats in the model group exhibited significant glomerular hypertrophy, thickened basement membrane, and extensive inflammatory cell infiltration in the renal interstitium. Blood glucose,kidney function-related indicators, mRNA expression levels of TNF- α,IL-1β,and IL-6,as well as levels of ROS and MDA were significantly increased (P<0.05),while levels of GSH and SOD were significantly decreased (P<0.05). Compared with the model group,rats in the low-dose and high-dose Ginsenoside Rb1 groups showed ameliorated structural damage to glomeruli and renal tubules,reduced renal interstitial inflammation,and significantly decreased blood glucose, kidney function-related indicators,mRNA expression levels of TNF-α,IL-1β,IL-6,as well as levels of ROS and MDA (P<0.05). Levels of GSH and SOD were significantly increased (P<0.05),with the high-dose group demonstrating better overall therapeutic efficacy. Compared with the high-dose group, the levels of various indicators in the pathway activator group showed opposite trends. Conclusion Ginsenoside Rb1 can ameliorate renal injury,alleviate inflammatory response and oxidative stress in T2DM rats. The mechanism may be related to the inhibition of the STING/TBK1/IRF3 signaling pathway activation.
