Effects of Captopril in renal ischemia reperfusion injury
2015
Objective
To explore therapeutic mechanism of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor(Captopril) in renal ischemia reperfusion(I/R) injury.
Methods
Wistar rats were randomly divided into sham operation group(Sham group), ischemia-reperfusion group(I/R group), captopril-treated group(CAP group), I/R model was made through ligating one side renal vessel.Renal function indexes including SCr and BUN were detected through biochemical analysis.Changes of renal tissue were observed by pathological section.ELISA detection was used to determine inflammatory cytokines such as IL-6, IL-8 and TNF-α.Activation of MAPK signaling pathway were analyzed by Western blot.
Results
After captopril treatment, SCr, BUN levels of the I/R group and the CAP group were higher than those of Sham group(P<0.05), Scr, BUN concentrations of CAP group were lower than those of I/R group(P<0.05). After captopril treatment, IL-6, IL-8, TNF-α concentrations of I/R group were higher than those of the Sham group(P<0.05); IL-6, IL-8, TNF-α concentrations of CAP group were lower than those of I/R group(P<0.05). Renal tissue c-jun N-terminal kinase, extracellular signal-regulated protein kinases, P38 in I/R group and CAP group were phosphorylated, and there were no significant differences between the two groups.
Conclusion
Captopril could improve renal function to some degree, and reduce expression of inflammatory cytokines rather than MAPK inflammatory signaling pathway.
