Abstract:
Hyperlipidemic pancreatitis (HP) is a serious inflammatory disease with very high mortality and multiple organ injuries including renal injury. Rosiglitazone (Ros), an agonist of peroxisome proliferator activated receptor-γ (PPAR-γ), was reported to show a protective role against pancreatitis. However, whether Ros has an effect on renal injury caused by HP is not yet clear. In the present study, the function of Ros was explored using ELISA, RT-PCR, western blot, PAS staining and immunohistochemistry. Results of this study showed that Ros could inhibit the activation of NF-κB and MAPK P38 signaling pathways, relieve inflammatory response and inhibit cell apoptosis, thus attenuating renal injury caused by HP. This study suggested that Ros might be a promising drug for the treatment of renal injury caused by HP and also laid theoretical foundation for the development of renal injury treatment.
