ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the expression of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kB), transforming growth factor beta1 (TGFbeta1), fibronectin (FN) in liver from diabetic rats.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Twenty male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided randomly into two groups normal control group (n = 10) and type 2 diabetic group (n = 10). After 4 weeks of high-fat feeding, diabetic group rats were injected with low dosage streptozotocin (30 mg/kg) intraperitoneally to induce type 2 diabetic rat models. The diabetic rats received high-fat feeding for another 12 weeks. At the end of the experiment, the fibrosis lesion was observed under light microscopy after Masson staining. The mRNA levels of NF-kB, TGFbeta1, FN from rats liver were assayed by semi-quantity RT-PCR, the protein levels of NF-kB, TGFbeta1, FN was detected by IHC.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Fibrosis was found in diabetic rats. The levels of TGFbeta1, FN mRNA in liver tissues increased in diabetic rats compared with normal control rats (0.91+/-0.19 vs 0.47+/-0.20, t = 5.233, P less than 0.05; 1.85+/-0.70 vs 1.22+/-0.39, t = 2.463, P less than 0.05). And the protein levels of NF-kB P65, TGFbeta1, FN in liver tissues from diabetic rats were significantly higher than those in normal control rats (10978.77+/-8782.59 vs 4206.86+/-1430.56, Z = 1.979, P less than 0.05; 8551.00+/-4768.68 vs 4036.85+/-1051.12, Z = 2.303, P less than 0.05; 16980.30+/-11529.29 vs 5701.95+/-9461.75, t = -2.391, P less than 0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Upregulation of NF-kB, TGFbeta1, FN in liver tissues may play a role in the hepatic fibrogenesis in diabetic rats.</p>
