Objective To study the effect of Haikun Shenxi Capsule(HSC)on endothelin-1(ET-1)and mRNA expression of rats with adriamyein-induced nephrosis and proliferation of glomerular mesangial cells(GMCs)cultured in vitro.Methods The rats were randomized into 6 groups
normal group
sham operation group
model group
benazepril group
HSC low-and high-dose groups.Ten weeks after treatment
ET-1 and mRNA expression were measured with immunohistochemical and hybridization in situ method.Tak- ing the Benazepril group as the control group
the proliferation of GMCs was detected with MTT method.Results In the model group
ET-1 and mRNA expression presented a strong positive
compared with which
that of the HSC low-and high-dose groups was remarkably reduced(P<0.05)
and the effect of high-dose group was better as the proliferation of GMCs was remarkably suppressed. Conclusion HSC reduces remarkably ET-1 and mRNA expression in kidney tissue of rats with adriamycin-indueed nephrosis and de- creases the proliferation of GMCs
