DENG Zhen-de, HUANG Yong-zhi, PAN Li-sha, et al. Effect of Flavonoid from Leaf on Expressions of CTGF, VEGF,HIF-1 in Retina of KKAy Mice[J]. Chinese journal of experimental traditional medical formulae, 2017, 23(2): 115-119. DOI: 10.13422/j.cnki.syfjx.2017020115.
Objective: To investigate the protection effects of flavonoid from Diospyros kaki leaf (FDL) on expressions of connective tissue growth factor(CTGF)
vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)
hypoxia-inducible factor-1α(HIF-1α) in the diabetic retinopathy(DR) of KKAy mice. Method: Take 30 C57BL6/J mice as normal control group
one hundred and fifty male KKAy rats were randomly divided into five groups:KKAy model group
FDL high-dose group
FDL medium-dose group
FDL low-dose group and Calcium Dobesilate group consist of 30 mice per group
high-
medium-
low-dose groups were administrated with 200
100
50 mg·kg-1·d-1 dose of FDL
Calcium Dobesilate group was given 230 mg·kg-1·d-1 Calcium Dobesilate
normal control group and KKAy model group received equal volume of saline. After 16 weeks
fasting blood glucose(FBG)
glycosylated hemoglobin(GHb)
the whole blood viscosity and plasma viscosity were detected. The expressions of CTGF
VEGF were examined by ELISA
HIF-1α were dected by Western blot and located by immunohistochemistry. Etinal apoptosis was detected by TUNEL staining. Result: Compared to normal control group
the FBG increased markedly
the GHb reduced obviously
the expression of CTGF
VEGF
HIF-1α and TUNEL-positive nuclei number in the DR were significantly higher increased obviously in the KKAy model group (P<0.01). Compared to the KKAy model group the GHb was markedly increased (P<0.01)
the expression of CTGF
VEGF
HIF-1α and TUNEL-positive nuclei number in the FDL high-dose and medium-dose group reduced obviously (P<0.01). Conclusion: The FDL can significantly repair DR and its mechanism may be actualized by regulationg CTGF
