PG - 1048-54 LID - S0944-7113(13)00199-2 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.phymed.2013.04.021 [doi] AB - The 2-kidney, 1-clip (2K,1C) model of hypertension was used to investigate the potential antihypertensive and antioxidant effect of imperatorin extracted from the root of radix angelicae. After 10 weeks treatment of imperatorin, mean blood pressure (MBP) of 2K,1C hypertensive rats was obtained, and superoxide dismutase (SOD), nitric oxide (NO) and nitric oxide synthase (NOS) were measured. Malondialdehyde (MDA) and glutathione (GSH) levels, catalase (CATA), xanthine oxidase (XOD), angiotensinII (Ang II) and endothelin (ET) levels of kidney were evaluated with commercial kits. Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotidephosphate (NADPH) oxidase subunits of the renal cortial tissues were determined by RT-PCR and Western blot. 8-Iso-prostaglandin F2alpha (8-iso-PGF2alpha) of 24h urinary excretion was also measured by ELISA. MBP was significantly reduced by treatment with IMP (6.25, 12.5 and 25 mg/kg/day, i.g.) in 2K,1C hypertensive rats. Meanwhile, we found that renal CATA and XOD activities, GSH levels, plasma NO and NOS contents were significantly increased in IMP-treated groups. Plasma ET, renal Ang II levels, MDA and the 24h urinary excretion of 8-iso-PGF2alpha in the IMP treated group were lower than control SD group. After that, we found the mRNA expressions and protein levels of NADPH oxidase subunits in the clipped kidney were markedly reduced after IMP treated in 2K,1C hypertensive rats. IMP showed antihypertensive and antioxidant effects in the renal injury of renovascular hypertensive rats, suggesting that IMP could be of therapeutic use in preventing renal injury related hypertension.
