ABSTRACT

Objective To observe the effects of Yishen-Pinggan dcoction on the urine microalbumin and the expression of ACE2, AngⅡin the spontaneously hypertensive rat kidney(SHR);to observe the kidney level hepatic side of the protective effect of early renal in SHR hypertension. Methods The same old male SHR and normal rats(Wistar-Kyoto rats, WKY) for the study, at 10 weeks of age, SHR rats were randomly divided into a model group, a Chinese medicine group, and a lotensin group;while WKY rats were served as a normal control group(n=8). They were continuously treated for 12 weeks. Urine mAlb and β2-MG of rats were quantified at pre-experiment and after experiment, immuno-histochemical detection of renal ACE2 and AngⅡwere performed, the obtained results were statistically analyzed by computer image analysis. Result At the 12th week, compared with urinary mAlb(509.3±160.3)ng/ml,β2-MG(0.150±0.037)μg/ml, Ang kidneyⅡ(7 174.24±1 068.99)μm2,kidney ACE2(2 158.90±376.60)μm2 in the WKY group, the urinary mAlb(908.3 ±13.2)ng/ml, β2-MG(0.378±0.099)μg/ml, kidney AngⅡ(11 085.37±1 398.03)μm2 in the hypertension model group were significantly higher(P<0.01), and kidney ACE2(1 375.77±466.21)μm2 was decreased significantly(P<0.01); compared with hypertensive model group, rat urinary mAlb(574.9±197.8)ng/ml,β2-MG(0.198±0.040)μg/ml, kidney AngⅡ(8 462.91±781.23)μm2 in Chinese medicine group, rat urinary mAlb(644.4±147.5)ng/ml, β2-MG(0.206±0.044)μg/ml, kidney AngⅡ(8 696.88±679.70)μm2 in lotensin group were significantly decreased(P<0.01); while kidney ACE2(1 904.02 ± 454.08)μm2 in Chinese medicine group, kidney ACE2(1896.11±445.43)μm2 in lotensin group was significantly increased(P<0.01). Conclusion Yishen-Pinggan decoction can reduce the SHR urinary microalbumin excretion so as to reduce high blood pressure early kidney damage; its role may be associated with its increasing local renal ACE2 expression and reducing the kidney Ang Ⅱ expression.
