Effect of Yiqi Yangyin Huoxue Prescription on NLRP3/Caspase-1/GSDMD Pyroptosis Pathway in Diabetic Kidney Disease Rats
To explore the possible mechanism of Yiqi Yangyin Huoxue prescription in the prevention and treatment of kidney injury of diabetic kidney disease(DKD)rats based on NOD-like receptor protein 3(NLRP3)/cysteine protease-1(Caspase-1)/gasdermin D (GSDMD)pyroptosis pathway.
Method
2
Fifty male SD rats were randomly divided into normal group (
n
=8) and modeling group (
n
=42). The modeling group was given a one-time intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (STZ) after high-sugar and high-fat diet for 6 weeks to induce the establishment of a DKD rat model. After successful modeling, the rats were randomly divided into model group, valsartan group (8.33 mg·kg
-1
), and Yiqi Yangyin Huoxue prescription low-dose and high-dose group (11,22 g·kg
-1
). After continuous gavage for 6 weeks, the fasting blood glucose (FBG), total cholesterol (CHO), triglyceride (TG), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), serum creatinine (SCr) and 24-hour urine protein quantification (24 h-UTP) were detected in each group of rats. Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining was used to observe the pathological changes of kidney tissue. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect serum interleukin-1
β
(IL-1
β
) and interleukin-18 (IL-18) levels. The protein and mRNA expression levels of NLRP3/Caspase-1/GSDMD in kidney tissue of rats in each group were determined by Western blot and real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR).
Result
2
Compared with the conditions in normal group, the levels of FBG, CHO, TG, BUN, SCr, 24 h-UTP and serum IL-1
β
and IL-18 as well as the protein and mRNA expression levels of NLRP3/Caspase-1/GSDMD in kidney tissue in model group were increased (
P
<
0.01), and the kidney tissue lesions were severe. Compared with the conditions in model group, the levels of FBG, CHO, TG, BUN, SCr, 24 h-UTP and serum IL-1
β
and IL-18 as well as the protein and mRNA expression levels of NLRP3/Caspase-1/GSDMD in kidney tissue in each intervention group were decreased (
P
<
0.05,
P
<
0.01), and the degree of kidney tissue lesions was improved, with Yiqi Yangyin Huoxue prescription high-dose group showing the optimal effect.
Conclusion
2
Yiqi Yangyin Huoxue prescription could inhibit pyroptosis by regulating the NLRP3/Caspase-1/GSDMD pathway, and thus relieve the inflammatory response of DKD rats and alleviate the pathological damage of the kidneys.
