ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effect of valsartan on expression of HIF-1α,TIMP-1,MMP-9 in the process of renal interstitial fibrosis(RIF) in diabetic nephropathy(DN) rats.Methods Fifty-four SD rats were randomly divided to 3 groupscontrol group (group C),DN group (group D),valsartan treatment group (group T).Rats of group D and T were given streptozocin (STZ) by intraperitoneal injection to establish animal model of diabetes.After diabetic models were successfully made,rats of group T were treated by valsartan (40 mg·kg-1·d-1).Serum glucose,serum creatinine and urinary protein were measured at the 4th,8th and 12th weeks.Masson staining was used to calculate the area of RIF.The methods of immunohistochemistry and real-time PCR were used to detect the expressions of HIF-1α,TIMP-1,MMP-9 in renal interstitium.Results Compared with group C,the areas of RIF were larger,24-hour urinary protein,Scr were higher,the mRNA and protein expression of HIF-1α and TIMP-1 increased,while the mRNA and protein expression of MMP-9 decreased in D and T group (P<0.05).At the 8th,12th weeks,compared with group D,the areas of RIF were smaller,24-hour urinary protein,Scr were relatively lower expressions of HIF-1α and TIMP-1 decreased,while the eapressions of MMP-9 increased in group T (P<0.05).Conclusion Valsartan may delay the progress of RIF in DN rats by down-regulating the expressions of HIF-1α,TIMP-1,up-regulating the expression of MMP-9,then improve renal function.
