    Abstract:
    This study aims to investigate the protective effect of salidroside(SAL) on renal damage in diabetic nephropathy(DN) mice based on the receptor for advanced glycation end products/janus activated kinase 1/signal transduction and activator of transcription 3(RAGE/JAK1/STAT3) signaling pathway. The mouse DN model was established by high-fat/high-sucrose diets combined with intraperitoneal injection of streptozocin(STZ). Mice were randomly divided into normal group, model group, low-dose SAL group(20 mg·kg~(-1)), high-dose SAL group(100 mg·kg~(-1)), and metformin group(140 mg·kg~(-1)), with 12 mice in each group. After establishing the DN model, mice were given drugs or solvent intragastrically, once a day for consecutive 10 weeks. Body weight, daily water intake, and fasting blood glucose(FBG) were measured every two weeks. After the last dose, the glucose tolerance test was performed, and the samples of 24-hour urine, serum, and kidney tissue were collected. The levels of 24 hours urinary total protein(24 h-UTP), serum creatinine(Scr), blood urea nitrogen(BUN), triglyceride(TG), total cholesterol(TC), low density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C), and high density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C) were detected by biochemical tests. Periodic acid-schiff(PAS) staining was used to observe the pathological changes in the kidney tissue. The protein expressions of α-smooth muscle actin(α-SMA), vimentin, and advanced glycation end products(AGEs) in kidneys were detected by immunohistochemical staining. The activities of superoxide dismutase(SOD), catalase(CAT), glutathione peroxidase(GSH-PX), and the level of malondialdehyde(MDA) in kidneys were detected by using a corresponding detection kit. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) was used to detect the levels of AGEs, carboxymethyllysine(CML), and carboxyethyllysine(CEL) in serum. The protein expressions of RAGE and the phosphorylation level of JAK1 and STAT3 in kidneys were detected by Western blot. Compared with the normal group, the levels of FBG, the area under the curve of glucose(AUCG), water intake, kidney index, 24 h-UTP, tubular injury score, extracellular matrix deposition ratio of the renal glomerulus, the serum levels of Scr, BUN, TG, LDL-C, AGEs, CEL, and CML, the level of MDA, the protein expressions of α-SMA, vimentin, AGEs, and RAGE, and the phosphorylation level of JAK1 and STAT3 in kidney tissue were increased significantly(P<0.01), while the level of HDL-C in serum and the activity of SOD, CAT, and GSH-PX in kidney tissue were decreased significantly(P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the above indexes of the high-dose SAL group were reversed significantly(P<0.05 or P<0.01). In conclusion, this study suggests that SAL can alleviate oxidative stress and renal fibrosis by inhibiting the activation of AGEs-mediated RAGE/JAK1/STAT3 signaling axis, thus playing a potential role in the treatment of DN.
