Sumario:In the present study, we investigated the best blood concentration of the mechanism of Shenqi pill repairing the injured epithelial cells of renal tubular in vitro. First, the injured hypoxia/reoxygenation model of rat proximal renal tubular epithelial cell strain (NRK-52E) was established. The animals were divided randomly into control, model, low concentration (5 µg/ml), moderate concentration (10 µg/ml) and high concentration (20 µg/ml) groups. The apoptotic rate was measured with flow cytometry and Jag2/Notch2/hes1 mRNA, and the protein expression was measured for 1, 3 and 7 days. It was found that in comparison to the control group, the growth of each group was prolonged with time, the levels of apoptosis, and the Jag2/Notch2/hes1 mRNA and protein expression decreased. Furthermore, the levels of the apoptotic rate, Jag2/Notch2/hes1 mRNA and protein expression of the moderate concentration and high concentration groups were significantly lower than those of the model and low-dose groups at each time-point (P<0.05). In conclusion, the Shenqi Pill alleviates the damage of renal tubular epithelial cells by inhibiting the Jag2/Notch2/hes1 signaling pathway; suitable concentration such as 10–20 µg/ml can exert protective effect.
