摘要
目的:探讨阿霉素肾病小鼠肾脏局部Th17/Treg免疫平衡的变化及泼尼松对该模型肾脏局部Th17/Treg免疫平衡的影响。方法:6~8周龄健康雄性BALb/c小鼠,随机分为正常对照(Control)组、阿霉素肾病模型(adriamycin,ADR)组、低剂量泼尼松(prednisone,Pre)治疗[ADR+Pre(low)]组和高剂量泼尼松治疗[ADR+Pre(high)]组,两治疗组于建模第5周行泼尼松悬液灌胃(13.5 mg/kg和18 mg/kg,1次/d,共8周)。考马斯亮蓝法检测随机尿蛋白浓度;肌酐试剂盒检测随机尿肌酐浓度;肾脏组织病理HE染色及透射电镜观察肾脏病变情况;流式细胞术检测肾脏局部Th17和Treg细胞比例。结果:随建模时间进展,与Control组相比,ADR组逐渐由微小病变型肾病综合征(minimal change nephrotic syndrome,MCNS)进展为局灶节段肾小球硬化(focal segmental glomerulosclerosis,FSGS),随机尿蛋白/肌酐比值(random urinary protein-creatinine ratio,RUPCR)较对照组明显升高(均P=0.000),肾脏局部Th17明显升高(均P=0.000),Treg无明显差异,Th17/Treg逐渐失衡(均P=0.000);与ADR组相比,两泼尼松治疗组肾脏损伤均有不同程度的缓解,RUPCR均明显下降(均P<0.01),且ADR+Pre(high)组较ADR+Pre(low)组下降更为明显(P<0.05)。ADR+Pre(high)组较ADR组Th17明显下降(P<0.05),Treg无明显差异,Th17/Treg比值明显下降(均P<0.01)。结论:随阿霉素肾病小鼠肾脏Th17/Treg失衡加重,肾脏损害加重;而早期应用泼尼松治疗可通过下调肾脏局部Th17水平,延缓Th17/Treg失衡,进而发挥肾脏保护作用。
Objective:To investigate the change in Th17/Treg immunologic balance in the kidney in mice with adriamycin(ADR nephropathy and the effect of prednisone on Th17/Treg immunologic balance in the kidney in this model. Methods:Healthy male BALB/c mice aged 6-8 weeks were randomly divided into control group,ADR nephropathy group(ADR group),ADR+low-dose prednisone [ADR +Pre(low)] group,and ADR +high-dose prednisone [ADR +Pre(high)] group. Since week 5 after the model was established,the two treatment groups were given prednisone suspension by gavage at a dose of 13.5 and 18 mg/kg,respectively,once a day for 8 weeks. The Coomassie brilliant blue method was used to measure the concentration of random urinary protein;Serum Creatinine Kit was used to measure random urine creatinine;HE staining and a transmission electron microscope were used to observe renal histopathological changes;flow cytometry was used to measure the percentages of Th17 and Treg cells in the kidney. Results:Compared with the control group,the ADR group showed progression from minimal change nephrotic syndrome to focal segmental glomerulosclerosis and significant increases in random urinary protein-creatinine ratio(RUPCR)(P=0.000) and percentage of Th17 cells in the kidney(P=0.000),and there was no significant difference in the percentage of Treg between the two groups;the ADR group showed Th17/Treg imbalance(P=0.000). Compared with the ADR group,the two prednisone treatment groups had varying degrees of relief of kidney injury and a significant reduction in RUPCR(P<0.01),and the ADR+Pre(high) group had a significantly greater reduction than the ADR+Pre(low) group(P<0.05).Compared with the ADR group,the ADR+Pre(high) group had significant reductions in Th17 cells(P<0.05) and Th17/Treg ratio(P<0.01),while there was no significant difference in Treg cells between the two groups. Conclusion:Kidney injury becomes worse with the aggravation of Th17/Treg imbalance in the kidney in mice with ADR nephropathy. Early prednisone treatment can downregulate the percentage of Th17 cells in the kidney,delay Th17/Treg imbalance,and thus protect the kidney.
