Study on the mechanism of Phellinus igniarius total flavonoids in reducing uric acid and protecting uric acid renal injury in vitro.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Uric acid nephropathy (UN) is a complication of hyperuricemia (HUA), which has a great impact on people's lives. Here, we evaluated the therapeutic potential of total flavonoids of Phellinus igniarius (TFPI) in vivo and studied the anti UN effect of TFPI in vitro.

Methods

Hyperuricemia was induced by intraperitoneal injection of potassium oxonate in ICR mice. After intervention with TFPI, we evaluated the levels of serum uric acid (UA) and creatinine (CR), and the contents of xanthine oxidase (XOD) and adenosine deaminase (ADA) in liver. To explore the effect and molecular mechanism of TFPI on UN, we treated HK-2 cells with monosodium urate (MSU) to study the effect of TFPI on apoptosis and inflammation. In addition, to explore the mechanism of TFPI on uric acid t
