摘要: 目的: 研究转化生长因子-β1 (TGF-β1) 在BXSB小鼠狼疮肾炎(LN) 中的作用及甲泼尼龙(MPS) 是否可通过影响TGF-β1 表达而改善LN 。方法: 用逆转录-聚合酶链反应技术(RT-PCR) 和免疫组织化学方法检测BXSB 狼疮小鼠及BALB /c 小鼠肾组织TGF-β1 mRNA 及蛋白的表达情况, 并用甲泼尼龙对BXSB小鼠进行体内干预, 观察甲泼尼龙对BXSB 小鼠肾脏TGF-β1 表达的影响及各组小鼠24 h 尿蛋白量的变化。结果: RT-PCR 检测到BXSB 小鼠肾组织TGF-β1mRNA 表达明显高于BALB /c 小鼠(P <0.01); 其中, BXSB 小鼠治疗组肾组织TGF-β1mRNA 表达量显著低于对照组(P <0.01) 。BXSB 小鼠治疗组24 h尿蛋白量明显低于对照组(P <0.01) 。免疫组织化学检测示TGF-β1 表达于BXSB 小鼠肾小球系膜细胞、肾小管上皮细胞、血管内皮细胞、肾间质及肾小球浸润的炎症细胞胞质内, 其中BXSB 小鼠治疗组较对照组表达明显减弱, 而BALB /c 小鼠仅在少数肾小管上皮细胞有微弱表达, 且图像半定量分析显示各组有显著性差异(P <0.01) 。结论: TGF-β1 可能参与LN 发病;甲泼尼龙可能通过抑制肾组织TGF-β1 的表达来改善LN。

Abstract: AIM: To investigate the relationship between TGF-β1 over-expression and lupus nephritis(LN) in BXSB mice and whetherMPS ameliorates LN by inhibiting the over-expression of TGF-β1. METHODS: BXSB mice (experiment group, n = 6) were treated (i.p.) with MPS (25 mg·kg-1·d-1) dissolved in N. S for 3 weeks. The other age and sex-matched BXSB mice (n =6) and BALB /c mice (n =6) received N. S. alone. Proteinuria production was evaluated once a week. The expression of TGF-β1 in the kidney was investigated by means of immunohistochemistry and RT-PCR. RESULTS: MPS significantly reduced proteinuria of BXSB mice (P<0.01). TGF-β1 was strongly expressed in kidneys of all BXSB mice, while weak expressions were found in kidneys of BALB /c mice. A significant lower expression of TGF-β1 was found in the BXSB experiment group compared with BXSB control group (P <0.01). CONCLUSION: The over-expression of TGF-β1 may aggravate LN, while MPS partially ameliorates LN by inhibiting the expression of TGF-β1.
