Objective To investigate the effect of all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) on the expression of matrix metalloproteinases-9 (MMP-9) in perihematomal brain tissue after intracerebral hemorrhage in rats.Methods Forty Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly allocated into ATRA and normal saline control groups.Each group was redivided into 2 h,48 h,72 h,and 7 d subgroups (n = 5 in each subgroup).The autologous blood was injected into the rat caudate nucleus for establishing a model of intracerebral hemorrhage under the guidance of stereotaxic apparatus.Intraperitoneal ATRA (1 mg/d) and the same volume of saline were injected respectively after the success of modeling.The expression of MMP-9 at different time points was detected by using immunohistochemical staining.Results The expression of MMP-9 in microvascular endothelial cells in perihematomal brain tissue in rats was upregulated 24 h after intracerebral hemorrhage in the ATRA and normal saline control groups,and it reached the peak at 48 to 72 h.The expression of MMP-9 in the ATRA group at different time points was lower than that in the normal saline control group (all P＜0.05).Conclusions ATRA inhibits the expression of MMP-9 in perihematomal brain tissue after intracerebral hemorrhage in rats,and thus may reduce the brain edema.
Résumé
Objective:To discuss the influence of Didang Decoction on glomerulosclerosis.Methods:The glomerulosclerosis model was established by uninephrectom and injection of adriamyci,and was treated by modif ied Didang Decoction and taken western medicine Losartan as the comparison group.To observe 24-hour urinary protein and kidney function of model group and each treatment group.Reverse transcriptase Polymerase Chain Reaction(RT-PCR) was used to determine the expression of TIMP-1 and PAI-1 in each group of rats kidney tissue.Results:Didang Decoction could decline elevated 24-hour urinary protein and improve kidney function,and decline the expression of TIMP-1 and PAI-1mRNA in glomerulosclerosis rats.Conclusion:Didang decoction could delay renal failure,it may be related to the down-regulated expression of TIMP-1 and PAI-1mRNA.
