摘　　要：目的:探讨中药芪红合剂对肾间质纤维化模型大鼠肾组织中基质金属蛋白酶组织抑制剂-1(TIMP-1)表达的影响,及其对肾间质纤维化的作用机制。方法:采用单侧输尿管结扎(UUO)致肾间质纤维化的动物模型,40只雄性Wistar大鼠随机分为4组:假手术组(A组)、手术模型组(B组)、芪红合剂组(C组)、依那普利组(D组)。术后14d处死各组大鼠,收集血清测定血肌酐(Scr)、尿素氮(BUN)水平,取结扎侧肾组织分别用HE、Masson染色,采用免疫组化和原位杂交方法分别检测肾组织中基质金属蛋白酶组织抑制剂-1(TIMP-1)、纤维连接蛋白(FN)和TIMP-1mRNA的表达,并用计算机图像分析系统进行分析。结果:手术模型组大鼠肾组织中FN、TIMP-1和TIMP-1mRNA的表达较假手术组显著升高,两治疗组较模型组明显降低。手术模型组大鼠血肌酐、尿素氮水平较假手术组明显增高,两治疗组较手术模型组显著下降。结论:中药芪红合剂可降低大鼠血尿素氮、血肌酐水平,并可通过抑制基质金属蛋白酶组织抑制剂-1(TIMP-1)和FN的表达,而起到减轻肾间质纤维化病变程度的作用,推测其抑制TIMP-1表达上调的作用可能是其抗肾小管间质纤维化的作用机制之一。Objective：To investigate the theraputic effects and its mechanisms of Astragalus and Safflower mixture in rats with Unilatreal Ureteral Obstruction.Methods：Rat renal interstitial fibrosis model was produced by unilateral ureteral obstruction,40 Wistar male rats were randomly divided into four groups：sham group（A group）,UUO group（B group）, A＆S group （C group） and ACEI group（D group）. Sera and kidney tissues were collected from each group on the forteenth day.BUN and Ser were measured.It was carried out to measure the level of tubulointerstitial damage by Masson staining. The expression of TIMP-1 and fibroneetin（FN） in kidneys was analyzed by immunohistoehemieal method. TIMP-1 mRNA was detected by in-situ hybridization method. Results：The expression of FN,TIMP-1 ,TIMP-1 mRNA and the renal interstitial fibrotie area were bighter significantly than that in sham group. Compared with UUO group, those of the treatment groups decreased markedly. The level of BUN and Ser in UUO group were significantly bighter than that in sham group.Compared with UUO group ,the level of BUN and Scr in treatment groups were significantly lower.Conclusion：Astragalus and Safflower mixture can downregnlate the level of BUN and Scr in UUO animal model rats, Astragalus and Safflower mixture can suppress the upregulation of TIMP-1 and FN expression in kidneys of UUO animal model rats and decrease their interstitial fibrotic area.It is inferred that it may be one of the mechanisms of Astragalus and Safflower mixture suppressing renal tubular damage and interstitial fibrosis.
