银杏叶提取物对糖尿病大鼠肾脏基质金属蛋白酶2表达的影响

Objective To study the effect of ginkgo biloba extract (GbE) on the expression of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2 in kidneys of diabetic rates and to analyze the protecting mechanism of GbE on diabetic nephropathy. Methods Totally 24 SD rats of diabetic nephropathy induced by streptozotocin were randomly divided into two groups: diabetes group and treatment group with GbE, and 12 rats with placebo therapy were enrolled as the normal control group. Rats were killed after 4 ～ 8 weeks treatment and the expression of MMP-2 and type Ⅳ collagen were studies by immunohistochemistry and RT-PCR. Results In diabetic rats, blood sugar, weight and kidney/body weight ratio were decreased significantly and the excretion of 24 hour urinary protein was increased significantly compared to the diabetes group. But the excretion of 24 hour urinary protein was improved in GbE group ( P ＜0.05 ). The expression level of MMP-2 protein and mRNA was decreased significantly in renal glomduri of diabetic rats ( P ＜ 0.05 ) but showed no changes in GbE treatment group compared to diabetes group( P ＞ 0.05 ). The expression level of type Ⅳ collagen was significantly increased in diabetic rats( P ＜0.05 ) but showed no changes in GbE group( P ＞0.05). Conclusion GbE can improve diabetic nephropathy by inhibiting the expression of MMP-2 in diabetic Rat.
