Effects of the aqueous extract of dendrobium nobile lindl on NF-κB and IL-6 expression of renal tissue in diabetic rat model / 重庆医学

ABSTRACT

Objective To observe the effects of dendrobium nobile Lindl(DNL) on Nuclear factor(NF)-κB and interleukin(IL)-6 expression of renal tissue in diabetic rat model .Methods The diabetes mellitus rat model was induced by streptozotocin .All rats were divided into four groups at randomthe normal control group(group N) ,diabetic control group(group diabetes mellitus) ,drug group one(group DNL1) ,drug group two(group DNL2) ,and administrated for 12 weeks .The levels of the fasting plasma glucose , urea nitrogen ,serum creatinine ,urine creatinine ,24 hours urinary protein were determined .NF-κB and IL-6 protein expression levels were measured by Western-Blot .IL-6 mRNA expression levels were measured by Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR . Results Compared with group N ,the blood sugar ,urea nitrogen ,24 hours urinary protein of group diabetes mellitus were signifi-cantly higher(P<0 .01) ,creatinine clearance was significantly reduced (P<0 .01) ,the NF-κB、IL-6 protein expression levels and IL-6 mRNA level increased significantly (all P<0 .05) .Compared with group diabetes mellitus ,the blood sugar ,urea nitrogen ,24 hours urinary protein of group DNL1 and group DNL2 were significantly decreased(P<0 .05) ,creatinine clearance increased significantly (P<0 .05) ,the NF-κB、IL-6 protein expression levels and IL-6 mRNA level decreased significantly(all P<0 .05) .Conclusion The DNL could protect the kidney of diabetic rats ,reduce the levels of NF-κB 、IL-6 protein and IL-6 mRNA expression in renal tissue of diabetic rats .
