The effect of cyclosporin (CS) on intrinsic glomerular level of antioxidants in puromycin aminonucleoside (PAN) nephrosis was examined. A single intravenous dose of PAN (50 mg/kg body weight) given to Sprague-Dawley rats resulted in marked proteinuria. Ten days after PAN injection, the rats were treated with daily intraperitoneal injection of CS (10 mg/kg body weight/day) for 10 days. PAN-treated rats without CS treatment (PAN rats) had significantly lower activities of glomerular superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) than normal rats (p < 0.05, respectively). When compared with PAN rats, CS-treated PAN rats had significantly less proteinuria and higher activities of glomerular SOD and CAT (p < 0.01 and p < 0.05, respectively). Significant elevation of glomerular malondialdehyde (MDA) level characteristic of PAN rats was absent in CS-treated PAN rats. Moreover, segmental sclerosis with capsular adhesion, hyalinosis, epithelial cell foot process fusion and microvillous transformation seen in PAN rats were apparently attenuated in CS-treated PAN rats. When compared with normal rats, rats receiving CS only had a significantly higher CAT activity and MDA level (p < 0.01 and p < 0.05, respectively). Assessment of glomerular reduced glutathione revealed no significant differences among PAN rats, CS-treated PAN rats, normal rats, and rats receiving only CS. These data indicate that glomerular antioxidant enzyme activities are modulated by CS.
研究了环孢素(CS)对嘌呤霉素氨基核苷(PAN)肾病模型肾小球内抗氧化剂水平的影响。给Sprague-Dawley大鼠单次静脉注射PAN(50mg/kg体重)可导致明显蛋白尿。PAN注射10天后,大鼠每天腹腔注射CS(10mg/kg体重/天),持续10天。未接受CS治疗的PAN处理大鼠(PAN大鼠)的肾小球超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)和过氧化氢酶(CAT)活性显著低于正常大鼠(分别为p<0.05)。与PAN大鼠相比,CS处理的PAN大鼠蛋白尿明显减少,肾小球SOD和CAT活性更高(分别为p<0.01和p<0.05)。CS处理的PAN大鼠不存在PAN大鼠特有的肾小球丙二醛(MDA)水平显著升高的情况。此外,PAN大鼠中出现的节段性硬化伴包膜粘连、玻璃样变性、上皮细胞足突融合和微绒毛转化在CS处理的PAN大鼠中明显减轻。与正常大鼠相比,仅接受CS的大鼠CAT活性显著更高,MDA水平也显著更高(分别为p<0.01和p<0.05)。对肾小球还原型谷胱甘肽的评估显示,PAN大鼠、CS处理的PAN大鼠、正常大鼠和仅接受CS的大鼠之间无显著差异。这些数据表明,肾小球抗氧化酶活性受CS调节。
