Changes of PI3K/AKT expression in renal tubulointerstitial fibrasis of unilateral ostruction rats / 基础医学与临床

ABSTRACT

Objective To observe the effect of PI3K/AKT signal passageway on renal tubulointerstitial fibrogenesis of UUO rats.Methods Thirty Sprague Dawley rats were divided into two groups,the sham-operated group and the uuo model group.The model group's left ureter was dissociated to be obstructed.The sham-operated group was dissociated left ureter only without obstruction.Five rats of each group were killed respectively at 5,10,15(days after) surgery.Histological changes of renal tubular interstitium was observed by HE and Masson staining.Immunohistochemistry was performed on left renal tubular interstitium for AKT1,phospho-AKT1,TGF-?1 in renal(tubulointerstitum) at each time point.Results AKT1,phospho-AKT1and TGF-?1 were faintly stained in the sham-operated kidneys.Immunostaining of AKT1,phospho-AKT1 and TGF-?1 in renal tubulointerstitium increased(progressively) starting from 5 to 15 days after UUO(vs sham-operated group,P
