Abstract

Objective: To explore the effect of salvianolic acid A & B component molecules of drug compatibility on PDGF-c/PDGFR-α signaling pathway in renal fibrosis of rats. Methods: 40 male SPF SD rats were randomly divided into four groups: control group, salvianolic acid A group, salvianolic acid B group and salvianolic acid A + B group, with 10 rats in each group. Each group was treated for two weeks. After the intervention, samples were collected. And scores of HE and Masson was compared. The expression of PDGF-c/PDGFR-α in rental tissue in them was also tested and compared. Results: Compared with the control group, the score of HE and Masson in intervention groups was markedly decreased, and scores in salvianolic acid B group and salvianolic acid A + B group were reduced significantly (p < 0.05); Compared with the control group, the expression of PDGF-c/PDGFR-α in rental tissue in intervention groups was lower(p < 0.05), especially in salvianolic acid B group and salvianolic acid A + B group (p < 0.05).Conclusion: salvianolic acid A & B component molecules of drug compatibility could significantly improve the pathological changes in the kidney tissue of rats, suppress the expression of PDGF-c/PDGFR-α in renal tissue, and improve the renal function, renal tubular function and renal pathology.
