PG - 434-442 LID - S0753-3322(17)35428-8 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.biopha.2018.06.163 [doi] AB - Fraxini Cortex (also known as Qinpi, QP) has been used for the treatment of hyperuricemia with a significant difference on efficacy of QP from different regions. However, it;s still unknown whether proportion of components is the key and why same kind of herbs have different therapeutic effects. In this study, different sources of QP were collected from Shaanxi Qinpi extracts (SQPE), Henan Qinpi extracts (HQPE), Hebei Qinpi extracts (GQPE) provinces in China. Rat model of hyperuricemia with hypoxanthine combined with potassium oxonate were established to determine the levels of blood urea nitrogen (BUN), serum uric acid (SUA), urine uric acid (UUA) and creatinine (Cr). Hematoxylin-eosin staining (H&E) and Periodic Acid-Schiff staining (PAS) were performed for renal pathology while Western blot analysis and real-time PCR analysis for proteins and mRNA expression levels. High-performance liquid chromatograph (HPLC) was used for components and composition analysis. Our results demonstrated that QPE from different regions could alleviate hyperuricemia via increasing significantly the SCr and BUN levels whereas decreasing markedly UCr, SUA and UUA levels. Additionally, QPE could also improve the pathological changes of the kidneys. The protein and mRNA levels of urate reabsorption transporter 1 (URAT1) and glucose transporter 9 (GLUT9) were down-regulated by QPE treatment. SQPE hold a better activity on improving hyperuricemia and regulating URAT1 and GLUT9. HPLC analysis showed that the proportion of four components aesculin, aesculetin, fraxin, fraxetin were 9.002: 0.350: 8.980: 0.154 (SQPE); 0.526: 0.164: 7.938: 0.102 (HQPE); 12.022: 1.65: 0.878: 1.064 (GQPE). These data indicate that this proportion of effective components may be an important factor for efficacy of QP and had implications for the treatment of hyperuricemia.
