Abstract:Objective: To explore the effects of salidroside (Sal) on endothelial dysfunction in hypertensive disorder of pregnancy (HDP) rats based on AMPK-eNOS pathway. Methods: Rat models of HDP were constructed. The successfully modeled rats were randomly classified into HDP group, Sal-L group, Sal-H group, and Sal-H+Compound C (AMPK inhibitor) group, with 12 rats in each group. Another 12 normal healthy rats were made the control group. Blood pressure and 24h urinary protein were measured before and after administration. ELISA was performed to measure serum endothelial function biomarkers and inflammatory factors. HE staining was performed to observe pathological changes in kidney tissue and placenta. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect sFLT-1 and PLGF. Western blot was used to measure the AMPK-eNOS pathway related proteins. Results: For the control group, the HDP group showed aggravated renal tissue pathological damage, increased glomerular edema, and even sclerosis, dilation of renal cysts, thickening of basement membrane, shrinkage of placental structure, reduction of placental villi, and even fibrin like necrosis, and there was an increase in vacuolated cells in the trophoblast layer and infiltration of inflammatory cells. The mean arterial pressure, 24h UTP, ET-1, TXB2, TNF-α, IL-6, IL-17 levels, and sFLT-1 expression increased, while the NO level and PLGF, p-AMPK/AMPK, p-AKT/AKT, and p-eNOS/eNOS expression decreased (P<0.05). The pathological damage of renal tissue and placental tissue in the Sal-L group and Sal-H group was alleviated compared with the HDP group, with a decrease of the mean arterial pressure, 24h UTP, ET-1, TXB2, TNF-α, IL-6, IL-17 levels, and sFLT-1, and an increase in the NO level and PLGF, p-AMPK/AMPK, p-AKT/AKT, and p-eNOS/eNOS expression (P<0.05). The Sal-H+Compound C group showed an increase in mean arterial pressure, 24h UTP, ET-1, TXB2, TNF-α, IL-6, IL-17 levels, and sFLT-1 expression, and a decrease in NO level and PLGF, p-AMPK/AMPK, p-AKT/AKT, and p-eNOS/eNOS expression than Sal-H group (P<0.05). Conclusion: Salidroside can improve endothelial dysfunction in HDP rats and is associated with the activation of AMPK-eNOS pathway.
