Objective:To study the influence of polygonum cuspidatum anthraquinone(PCA) on transforming growth factor-petal(TGF-β1) and Smad3 levels in cortex renisin mice diabetic nephropathy(DN) model.Method:DN mouse were induced by STZ and randomized into high
middle and low close of PCA groups
positive control group and model group with 17 mousein each group.Another 17 mouse were chosen as normal control.The levels of PCA on TGF-β1 and Smad3 in cortex renis were assayed by immunohistochemistry method.Result:TGF-β1 and Smad3 levels in cortex renis from DN model were significantly increased
and Smad3 levels in cortex renis from middle close of PCA groups was significantly decreased.There was a downward tendency of TGF-β1 and Smad3 levels in cortex renis from high
middle and low dose of PCA groups
but no statistical significance.Conclusion:TGF-β1and Smad3 may involve in the occurrence of DN;PCA can inhibit Smad3 expression in cortex ren is from DN model.
