Objective To explore the possible mechanism of Wenyang Huoxue Lishui Formula-( warming yang
activating blood circulation
promoting urination decoction
温阳活血利水方) in treating proteinuria of primary nephrotic syndrome. Methods Mouse podocytes were divided into normal control group
model group
dexamethasone group
10% Chinese medicine serum group
20% Chinese medicine serum group
and blank control group. Except for normal control group
blank control group
the other groups were given puromycin aminonucleoside powder to induce podocytes injury model. The normal control group and model group were added 5 ml
and dexamethasone group was added 5 ml dexamethasone 392 μg/L. 10% Chinese medicine serum group
20% Chinese medicine serum group
and blank control group were added 5 ml 10% Chinese medicine serum
20% Chinese medicine serum and blank control serum respectively. RT-PCR and Western blot were used to detect the protein expression of cathepsin L( CatL)and dynamin mRNA
and laser confocal was applied to observe the morphological and structural changes of microfilaments and microtubules in the podocytes of each group. Results Compared with the normal group
the mRNA and protein expression of CatL of model group increased and the protein expression of dynaminin decreased( all P <0. 01). Compared with the model group
the mRNA and protein expression of CatL in Chinese medicine serum groups and dexamethasone group decreased
and the expression of dynamin was increased( all P < 0. 01). Compared with the treatment with the serum contained 10% Chinese medicine
the mRNA and protein expression of CatL were lower and the protein expression of dynamin was higher by treatment with the serum contained 20% Chinese medicine( P <0. 01). There was no significant difference in the relative expression of dynamin mRNA among the groups( P >0. 05). Conclusion Wenyang Huoxue Lishui Formula can reduce CatL’s enzymolysis of dynamin through reducing CatL expression in podocytes
so as to stabilize microfilaments
microtubules and other structures in the cytoskeleton
reduce fusion of podocytic process and improve proteinuria.
