Protective effects and mechanism of carvedilol on diabetic kidney disease in mice
Objective To observe the effects of carvedilol on renal function in mice with diabetic kidney disease(DKD)and to preliminarily study its mechanism of action.Methods C57BL/6J male mice were randomly divided into control group,model group and experimental group,with 10 mice in each group.The mouse model of type Ⅰ diabetes was established by intraperitoneal injection of 150 mg·kg-1 streptozotocin(STZ).After successful modeling,the experimental group mice were given 10 mg·kg-1·d-1 carvedilol by gavage,while the control group and model group were given equal amounts of 0.9％NaCl.During the experiment,the fasting blood glucose(FBG)of mice were monitored weekly.After 8 weeks of administration,the urinary albumin to creatinine ratio(UACR),uric acid(UA),and other contents in the urine of mice were detected,as well as the levels of iron(Fe),superoxide dismutase(SOD),and malondialdehyde(MDA)in the renal tissue.And hematoxylin-eosin(HE)and Masson staining were performed on the renal tissue to observe the pathological changes of the kidney.Results After 8 weeks of administration,the UACR of the control group,model group and experimental group were(12.43±1.13),(63.01±20.78)and(19.79±1.94)mg·mmol-1;the UA levels were(132.10±10.14),(174.40±7.06)and(135.00±3.95)μmol·L-1;the Fe levels were(7.49±0.81),(9.98±0.46)and(7.02±0.60)μmol·g prot-1;the SOD activities were(34.56±0.58),(30.27±1.22)and(34.43±1.36)U·mg prot1;the MDA contents were(5.49±0.31),(7.72±0.17)and(4.46±0.32)nmol·mg prot-1.The differences between model group and normal group were statistically significant(all P＜0.05);compared between experimental group and model group,the difference were significant(all P＜0.05).Conclusion Carvedilol can alleviate the damage of renal function in diabetes mice,and its mechanism may be related to inhibiting iron death and alleviating oxidative stress injury.
