RESUMO
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To examine inhibition action of multi-glycoside of Tripterygium wilfordii (GTW) on infiltration of inflammatory cell in glomeruli with anti-Thy1.1 glomerulonephritis (anti-Thy1.1 GN), and to clarify its effects on inflammatory in vitro.</p><p><b>METHOD</b>Two types of anti-Thy1.1 GN were induced in rats by a single or two intravenous injections with 500 microg of anti-Thy1.1 mAb 1-22-3. Rats were randomly divided into two groups, the GTW group and control group, and sacrificed on day 7 or on day 42 after induction of anti-Thy1.1 GN. Daily oral administration of different dose of GTW and distilled water as a control was started from 3 days before injection or at the same time of injection till the day of sacrifice. Proteinuria was determined during days 7 or during days 42. Infiltration of macrophage and T lymphocyte in glomeruli and mRNA expression of interleukin (IL)-2 and interferon (IFN)-gamma in renal tissue were examined.</p><p><b>RESULT</b>Increase of infiltration of macrophage in reversible anti-Thy1.1 GN model, glomerular macrophage infiltration and IL-2 mRNA expansion were attenuated by higher dose of GTW (75 mg x kg(-1) x d(-1)), and increased accumulation of activated macrophage and T lymphocyte in irreversible anti-Thy1.1 GN model, accumulation of macrophage and T lymphocyte in glomeruli and mRNA expansion of IL-2 and IFN-gamma were decreased by middling dose of GTW (50 mg x kg(-1) x d(-1)) as well. Proteinuria was significantly ameliorated after GTW administration.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The findings suggested that different dose of GTW can ameliorate infiltration of inflammatory cell in glomeruli with anti-Thy1.1 glomerulonephritis in vitro by decreasing the expression of IL-2 and IFN-gamma.</p>

A one - dose 5 - 1 - 6 monoclonal antibody injected intravenously can induce atransient massive proteinuria in rat. Comparison between Radix Bupleuritreating group and PBS control group 1, 3, 5, 8 days after injection showed significant difference. Under immuno -flourescence exam, the granular precipitation along the glomerular capillaries in experimental group decreased distinctively, yet the effect of Chailing Decoction on proteinuria can not be proved by oral infusion, suggesting that Radix Bupleuri may change the permeability of glomerular capillary in rat through certain mechanism.
