RESUMO
Objective To study the mechanism of paraquart-induced renal injury in rats,the expression of heine oxygenase-2(HO-1) and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS).Methods 84 adult healthy Spragne-Dawley (SD) rats (female and male in half) were randomly divided into two groups,the control group (group A,n=42) and the paraquart group (group B,n=42).The rats in group B were treated with paraquart (25 mg/kg) intraperitoneally,the rats in group A were treated with the same dose of normal saline.Its histopathological change,the expression of HO-1,iNOS and evaluate the mRNA expression of HO-1 were observed.Results ①In group A,the tissue structure was clear without abnormal.In group B,there were obvious lesions in the renal tubule of cortical part,including cellular swelling,the canula narrow,the mesenchymal congestion and edema.These pathologic changes gradually reached the peak on the 1st day,and did not relieved till the end ofthis study.②In group A,there was no or weak expression of iNOS.At the 3rd hour,the expressions of iNOS in group B were observed in the kytoplasm of renal tubular epithelial cell and glomemlar endothelial cell of cortical part.It reached the peak on the 1st day and continued at a high level after that.③ In group A,there was no or weak expression of HO-1 and HO-1 mRNA.At the 3rd hour,the expressions of HO-1 in group B were observed in the membrane and kytoplasm of renal tubular epithehal cell of cortical part,immunohistochemistry score(IHS) was higher,the expression of HO-1 mRNA increased,there was a statistical significance between group B and group A(P<0.05).It reached the peak on the 1st day,and then decreased,there were 110 statistical difference between group B and group A on the 5th day(P>0.05).Conclusions HO-1 and iNOS ale involved in the procedures of renal injury,but its mode of action and regulating path still need further study.
