Abstract Objective: To observe the effects of Benazepril on expression of TGF-β1, α-SMA, NOX4 in renal tissues of rats with unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) and investigate the mechanism of it in renal interstitial fibrosis. Methods: The male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats (54 cases) were randomly divided into Sham-operated group, model group and Benazepril treated group, 18 rats in each group. The benazepril group was given
1.6 mg/kg intragastric administration 1 times a day, and the model group and the sham operation group were given 10 mL/kg 0.9% sodium chloride solution gavage 1 times a day, model group and the benazepril group were ligated left ureter to establish UUO models. At days 7, 14 and 21, six rats in each group were sacrificed. Their left surgery renal tissues were collected for pathological examination. The pathological changes of the obstruction renal tissue were examined by Masson staining. The protein and gene expression of TGF-β1, α-SMA, NOX4 was detected by immunohistochemical staining respectively and NOX4 was detected by RT-PCR. Results: Compared with the Sham-operation group, the renal interstitial fibrosis degree of rats in other groups was increased (P<0.05), and aggratated as the ureteral obstruction time prolonged. Compared with the model group, after the treatment, the renal interstitial fibrosis degree decreased significantly (P<0.05). Compared with the Sham-operation group, the protein expression of TGF-β1, α-SMA, NOX4 in other group increased (P<0.05). Compared with the model group, after the treatment by Benazepril, the protein expression TGF-β1, α-SMA, NOX4 was down-regulated in the renal tissue (P<0.05). Conclusion: Benazepril may effectively retard kidney interstitial fibrosis by reducing the expression of TGF-β1, α-SMA, NOX4 to inhibit inflammatory of kidney.
