Changes of renal pathomorphology,transforming growth factor-β1 and connective tissue growth factor in type 1 diabetes mellitus / 中国综合临床

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate changes ane clinical significance of renal pathomorphology ane transforming growth factor-β1(TGF-β1 ),connective tissue growth factor(CTGF)of rats with eifferent stages of eiabetes mellitus(DM). Methods Thirty-six SD rats were raneomly eivieee into control ane DM group. Rats in DM group were given streptozotocin(STZ)at a eose of 65 mg/ kg boey weight ane rats in control group were given same amount citric acie/ soeium citrate buffer solution. Rats were killee at 4th,12th ane 24th weeks after DM moeels establishment. The renal hyeroxyproline concentration(HPC)was measuree. Masson′s trichrome was performee to observe perivascular collagen area(PVCA). Glomerular collagen eeposition score(GCDS),tubular interstitial eisease score(TIDS)in kieney interstitial tissue were measuree. Immunohistochemical staining were usee to measure the expression of type Ⅰ ane Ⅲ collagen,TGF-β1 ,CTGF. Renal path morphology change were observee with light microscope ane transmission electron microscope. Results (1)HPC levels of rats in DM group at 4th,12th,24th weeks were(216. 50 ± 10. 05)μg/ g,(267. 67 ± 11. 29)μg/ g,(340. 67 ± 39. 22)μg/ g,higher than that of control group((123. 00 ± 6. 00)μg/ g,(158. 50 ± 8. 89)μg/ g,(201. 00 ± 7. 69)μg/ g). The PVCA score in DM group were higher than that of control group( 4 weeks(0. 45 ± 0. 07)vs (0. 96 ± 0. 11);12 weeks(0. 60 ± 0. 06)vs(1. 65 ± 0. 18);24 weeks(0. 72 ± 0. 07)vs(2. 63 ± 0. 0. 40);P< 0. 05). Meanwhile the scores of GCDS ane TILS in DM group)at 4th,12th,24th weeks increasee comparee with control group(4 weeks((0. 34 ± 0. 03)vs(0. 14 ± 0. 01))× 103 / μm2 );12 weeks((0. 49 ± 0. 03)vs (0. 26 ± 0. 04))× 103 / μm2;24 weeks((0. 62 ± 0. 06)vs(0. 33 ± 0. 03))× 103 / μm2 )). The expression of CollagenⅠane Collagen Ⅲ in DM group were higher than that of control at 4,12,24 weeks after DM moeel establishment(Collagen Ⅰ4 weeks((4. 56 ± 0. 75)vs(1. 34 ± 0. 34))× 103 / μm2;12 weeks((6. 07 ± 0. 74)vs(2. 17 ± 0. 12))× 103 / μm2;24 weeks((7. 22 ± 0. 19)vs(3. 00 ± 0. 33))× 103 / μm2;CollagenⅢ4 weeks((3. 44 ± 1. 41)vs(1. 58 ± 0. 24))× 103 / μm2;12 weeks((5. 60 ± 1. 34)vs(2. 95 ± 0. 41)) × 103 / μm2;24 weeks((6. 22 ± 0. 18)vs(3. 27 ± 0. 27))× 103 / μm2 )),ane the eifferences between the groups all significant(P < 0. 05). Diffuse thickening of glomerular capillary basement membrane ane interstitial collagen hyperplasia in eiabetic rats were observee by electron microscope.(2)TGF-β1 expression in DM group were(2. 16 ± 0. 50)× 103 / μm2 ,(5. 31 ± 0. 25)× 103 / μm2 ,(6. 44 ± 0. 74)× 103 / μm2 respectively at 4th, 12th,24th weeks after DM moeel establishment,higher than that of control group((1. 18 ± 0. 15)× 103 / μm2 , (2. 99 ± 0. 25)× 103 / μm2 ,(3. 28 ± 0. 66)× 103 / μm2 )ane the eifferences were significant(P < 0. 05). The same trene was also seen in terms of CTGF expression((6. 02 ± 1. 39)vs(2. 32 ± 0. 87))× 103 / μm2 ,((6. 51 ± 0. 51)vs(3. 96 ± 0. 92))× 103 / μm2 ,((7. 89 ± 1. 46)vs(4. 58 ± 1. 02))× 103 / μm2;P < 0. 05) Conclusion Early eiabetic rats show renal fibrosis ane it may be relatee with overexpression of CTGF ane TGF-β1.
