Popis: | Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) is involved in numerous physiological and pathological processes of the kidney via its four receptors. A previous study has suggested that a defect in the PGE2 receptor 1 (EP1) gene markedly suppressed the transforming growth factor‑β1 (TGF‑β1)‑induced mesangial cell (MC) proliferation and extracellular matrix aggregation. Therefore, the present study aimed to adopt a pharmacological method of specifically suppressing or activating the EP1 receptor to further verify and demonstrate these results. The EP1 receptor antagonist SC‑19220 and EP1 receptor agonist 17‑phenyl‑trinor‑PGE2 ethyl amide (17‑pt‑PGE2) were selectively used to treat five‑sixths nephrectomy renal fibrosis model mice and TGF‑β1‑stimulated MCs. An Alpha screen PGE2 assay kit, flow cytometry, western blotting and immunohistochemical techniques were adopted to perform in vivo and in vitro experiments. The present results suggested that compared with the control group, the selective EP1 receptor antagonist SC‑19220 improved renal function, markedly reduced the plasma blood urea nitrogen and creatinine levels (P |
