Mechanism of Hedysari Radix Polysaccharide on Diabetic Nephropathy in db/db Mice Based on JAK2/STAT3 Signaling Pathway
To observe the effect of Hedysari Radix polysaccharide (HRP) on the Janus kinase 2 (JAK2)/signal transducer and activator of transcription protein 3 (STAT3) signaling pathway in diabetic nephropathy db/db mice.
Method
2
Fifty db/db mice were randomly divided into model group, irbesartan group (irbesartan suspension, 22.75 mg·kg
-1
), and high-, medium-, and low-dose HRP groups (HRP suspension, 200, 100, 50 mg·kg
-1
) according to the body weight, with 10 mice in each group. Another 10 C57BL/6 mice were assigned to the normal group. The mice were treated with corresponding drugs by gavage, while those in the normal group and the model group received distilled water at 5 mL·kg
-1
. The mice in the six groups were administered once a day by gavage for 12 consecutive weeks. The uric acid (UA), triglycerides (TG), and total cholesterol (TC) were detected. Periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) staining and Masson staining were used to observe the pathological changes in kidney tissues. Western blot and Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR) were used to detect the protein and mRNA expression levels of JAK2, STAT3, suppressor of cytokine signaling 3 (SOCS3), and tumor necrosis factor-
α
(TNF-
α
) in the kidney.
Result
2
After 12 weeks of treatment, compared with the normal group, the model group showed significant pathological ultrastructural changes in kidney tissues and increased UA, TG, and TC levels (
P
<
0.01). Compared with the model group, the high- and medium-dose HRP groups and the irbesartan group showed improvement in pathological ultrastructure of kidney tissues and reduced UA, TG, and TC levels (
P
<
0.05,
P
<
0.01). Compared with the normal group, the model group showed a decrease in SOCS3 protein and mRNA expression levels and an increase in JAK2, STAT3, and TNF-
α
protein and mRNA expression levels (
P
<
0.01). Compared with the model group, the high- and medium-dose HRP groups and the irbesartan group showed an increase in SOCS3 protein and mRNA expression levels and a decrease in JAK2, STAT3, and TNF-
α
protein and mRNA expression levels (
P
<
0.05,
P
<
0.01).
Conclusion
2
HRP can alleviate renal damage in diabetic nephropathy to a certain extent, and its mechanism may be related to the inhibition of the activation of the JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway.
