OBJECTIVE:To elucidate the mechanism by which Huoxue Jiedu Huayu recipe(活血解毒化瘀方,HJHR)regulates angiogenesis in the contralateral kidney of unilateral ureteral obstruction(UUO)rats and the mechanism by which it reduces of renal fibrosis.METHODS:Male Wistar rats were randomly divided into 4 groups:the sham group,UUO group(180 d of left ureter ligation),UUO plus eplerenone(EPL)group,and UUO plus HJHR group.After 180 d of oral drug administration,blood and contralateral kidneys were collected for analysis.Angiogenesis-and fibrosis-related indexes were detected.RESULTS:HJHR and EPL improved structural damage and renal interstitial fibrosis in the contralateral kidney and reduced the protein expression levels of α-smooth muscle actin(α-SMA),vimentin and collagen I.Moreover,these treatments could reduce the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor-A(VEGFA)by inhibiting the infiltration of macrophages.Furthermore,HJHR and EPL significantly reduced the expression of CD34 and CD105 by downregulating VEGFA production,which inhibited angiogenesis.Finally,the coexpressions of CD34,CD105 and α-SMA were decreased in the HJHR and EPL groups,indicating that endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition was inhibited.CONCLUSIONS:These findings confirm that HJHR alleviates contralateral renal fibrosis by inhibiting VEGFA-induced angiogenesis,encourage the use of HJHR against renal interstitial fibrosis and provide a theoretical basis for the clinical management of patients with CKD.
