摘要:

目的 探讨应用甘草酸(Gly)治疗时对慢性肾脏病(CKD)大鼠心室肌高迁移率族蛋白B1/Toll样受体4/核因子κB/缺氧诱导因子1α(HMGB1/TLR4/NF-κB/HIF-1α)信号通路的影响。方法 将38只Wistar大鼠按随机数字表法分为4组:假手术(Sham)组、Sham+Gly组、CKD组、CKD+Gly组,5/6肾切除制备CKD模型,Gly腹腔注射给药(80 mg/kg)。4周后行血流动力学及心脏彩超观察各组大鼠心脏功能;心室取血检测生化指标;心肌组织取材检测HMGB1、TLR4、NF-κB、HIF-1α蛋白表达的变化。结果 与Sham组相比,CKD组肌酐、尿酸、尿素氮和血清镁水平增高(P<0.05),血压升高,舒张期室间隔厚度、收缩期左心室内径增加,左心室射血分数降低,E/A比值降低,肺动脉血流加速时间延长(P<0.05);HE染色可见心肌细胞肥大,Masson染色见心肌纤维化程度增加(P<0.05),心肌组织HMGB1、NF-κB、HIF-1α蛋白表达水平上调(P<0.05)。与CKD组相比,CKD+Gly组收缩期室间隔厚度增加,左心室射血分数升高,E/A比值升高(P<0.05),HE染色心肌细胞肥大情况有所好转,心肌纤维化程度降低(P<0.05),心肌组织HMGB1、NF-κB、HIF-1α蛋白表达水平下调(P<0.05)。结论 CKD会影响大鼠心功能,加重大鼠心肌纤维化,Gly可减轻CKD大鼠心肌纤维化程度,其机制可能与抑制HMGB1/TLR4/NF-κB/HIF-1α信号通路下传有关。

Abstract:

Objective To investigate the effect of glycyrrhizin (Gly) treatment on high mobility group protein B1/ Toll-like receptor 4/ nuclear factor κB/ hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HMGB1/TLR4/NF-κB/HIF-1α) signaling pathway on ventricular muscle of chronic kidney disease (CKD) rats. Methods A total of 38 Wistar rats were randomly divided into 4 groups: the sham operation (Sham) group, the Sham+ Gly group, the CKD group and the CKD+ Gly group. CKD model was prepared by nephrectomy in 5/6, and Gly was intraperitoneally injected (80 mg/kg). Four weeks later, hemodynamics and color doppler echocardiography were performed to observe the heart function of rats in each group. Ventricular blood sampling was used to detect biochemical indexes. The expression levels of HMGB1, TLR4, NF-κB and HIF-1α in myocardium were compared. Results Compared with the Sham group, creatinine, uric acid, urea nitrogen and serum magnesium were increased in the CKD group (P<0.05), blood pressure was also increased (P<0.05). Besides, its diastolic ventricular septal thickness, left ventricular end-systolic diameter were increased, left ventricular ejection fraction decreased, E/A peak decreased and pulmonary artery acceleration time was prolonged (P<0.05). HE staining showed hypertrophy of myocardial cells, and Masson staining showed increased degree of myocardial fibrosis (P<0.05). The expression levels of HMGB1, NF-κB and HIF-1α in myocardial tissue were up-regulated (P<0.05). Compared with the CKD group, rats in the CKD+Gly group showed increased ventricular septal thickness, left ventricular ejection fraction and E/A ratio (P<0.05). HE staining showed that the hypertrophy of myocardial cells was improved, and the degree of myocardial fibrosis decreased (P<0.05). The expression levels of HMGB1, NF-κB and HIF-1α in myocardium were down-regulated (P<0.05). Conclusion CKD can affect cardiac function and aggravate myocardial fibrosis in rats. Glycyrrhizin can improve the degree of myocardial fibrosis in rats with CKD, and the mechanism may be related to the inhibition of HMGB1/TLR4/NF-κB/HIF-1α signaling pathway.
