Effect of Tianhuang Formula on Renal Injury and Fibrosis in Hyperuricemia Mice增强出版
To observe the protective effect and mechanism of Tianhuang formula (THF) against renal injury in hyperuricemia nephropathy (HN) mice through network pharmacology.
Method
2
All mice were randomly divided into a normal group
a model group
a febuxostat group (5 mg·kg
-1
)
a low-dose THF group (L-THF
60 mg·kg
-1
)
and a high-dose THF group (H-THF
120 mg·kg
-1
). The mice in the normal group were treated with 0.5% sodium carboxymethylcellulose (CMC-Na) by gavage daily. The HN model was induced by oral administration of 500 mg·kg
-1
hypoxanthine and intraperitoneal injection of 200 mg·kg
-1
oteracil potassium in mice except for those in the blank group. The mice in the groups with drug intervention were treated with corresponding drugs by gavage for three weeks. The levels of serum uric acid
creatinine
urea nitrogen
and 24-h albuminuria were measured. The renal injury was observed by hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining and PAS staining
and renal fibrosis was observed by Sirius red staining. The effects and molecular mechanism of THF in HN mice were analyzed by Western blot
network pharmacology
and molecular docking.
Result
2
Biochemical results indicated that compared with model group
BUN and 24 h urinary protein levels were significantly decreased in L-THF group (
P
<
0.05)
SUA and SCr levels were significantly decreased (
P
<
0.01)
and SUA
BUN
SCr and 24 h urinary protein levels in H-THF group were significantly decreased (
P
<
0.01). The results of pathological staining showed that the kidney injury and interstitial fibrosis were improved in different doses of THF groups (
P
<
0.05). Western blot results showed that the Nod-like receptor heat protein domain associated protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammatorome
interleukin-1
β
(IL-1
β
)
fibronectin (FN)
uric acid transporter 1 (URAT1)
phosphorylated p65 (p-p65) and phosphorylated nuclear transcription factor (NF) -
κ
B were inhibited in the H-THF group The expression of protein-producing
α
(p-I
κ
B
α
) was reduced to the normal level (
P
<
0.01)
but the expression of IL-1
β
URAT1 and p-I
κ
B
α
in HN mice was not affected in the L-THF group.
Conclusion
2
THF ameliorates renal inflammation and fibrosis by inhibiting the activation of NF-
