Potential Modulatory Effects of Hesperidin on the JAK/STAT Pathway in Mesangial Proliferative Glomerulonephritis. (PubMed, Chem Biol Drug Des)
A male Wistar rat model of MsPGN was established via tail vein injection of Thy-1 monoclonal antibody, and the rats were divided into four groups: Control, MsPGN, MsPGN + HSP, and MsPGN + Prednisone...Furthermore, HSP downregulated the phosphorylation levels of Janus kinase 2 (JAK2) and signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3), suggesting modulation of the JAK/STAT pathway. In conclusion, HSP might effectively alleviate renal injury, reduce renal inflammatory response, and inhibit renal immune complex deposition, potentially through the suppression of the JAK/STAT pathway.
