[0032] Example 4 Therapeutic effect of Cs-2025 culture on kidney function damage in mice induced by adenine The Cs-2025 culture used in this example was obtained by the method described in Example 1. Kunming mice, male, weight 22-26g, were purchased from Beijing Vital River Laboratory Animal Technology Co., Ltd. Adenine was purchased from BIO. BASIC. INC.
[0033] The traditional method of preparing animal kidney function damage model is mostly 5 / 6 nephrectomy to model, but there are many shortcomings such as complicated operation, difficult to make, many complications, high mortality and unable to prepare different degrees of kidney function damage model. In this study, the method of continuous gavage of high concentration of adenine was used to prepare mouse kidney function damage model. High concentration of adenine is changed into 2, 8-dihydroxyadenine which is extremely difficult to dissolve in water by the action of xanthine oxidase, which deposits in the renal tubules, affects the excretion of nitrogen compounds, and ultimately causes kidney damage. In addition, the large intake of adenine leads to excessive production of oxygen free radicals and lipid peroxidation in the body, which may be an important mechanism of adenine leading to kidney damage.
[0034] Animal grouping and administration method: 50 male Kunming mice were randomly divided into normal control group, model control group, Cs-2025 high dose group, Cs-2025 medium dose group and Cs-2025 low dose group. Except for the normal control group, the other groups of mice were given adenine 250mg / kg by gavage on the 1st, 3rd and 5th day, and then supplemented every 10 days. After the first three times of adenine administration, each dose group was given Cs-2025 by gavage for 30 days, and the gavage amount was 1000mg / kg, 500mg / kg and 250mg / kg respectively; the normal control group was given 1mL / 100g distilled water every day.
[0035] General observation: During the experiment, the changes of mouse fur luster, mental state, food and water intake, urine volume and body weight were observed.
[0036] Blood biochemical index: After the administration was completed, the mice were weighed, the mice were anesthetized by intraperitoneal injection of sodium pentobarbital (60mg / kg), the eyeball was taken to collect blood, the serum was separated, and the serum BUN and CRE contents were determined by automatic biochemical analyzer (Mindray).
[0037] Organ index and kidney pathology: The left kidney, right kidney, spleen and thymus were weighed respectively; the left kidney was stripped and fixed with 10% formaldehyde overnight, paraffin-embedded, HE stained, and the pathological changes of kidney were observed.
[0038] Statistical analysis: The experimental data were expressed as , and the statistical software was used for data statistical analysis, the mean comparison between groups was analyzed by one-way analysis of variance, the comparison between two groups was analyzed by least significant difference method (LSD), and the test level was taken as α=0.05.
[0039] (1) The general observation results of animals in each group Compared with the normal control group, the model control group mice were less active, with loose and dull fur, reduced food intake, significantly increased water and urine volume, and significantly decreased body weight. The body weight change was statistically different compared with the normal control group (see Table 1). The Cs-2025 administration groups were significantly improved compared with the model control group, with increased activity, slightly shiny fur, less increased urine volume, and less decreased body weight (see Table 1). The body weight change was statistically different compared with the model group P <0.05).

[0044] Note: * indicates a significant difference compared with the normal control group P <0.05); △ indicates a significant difference compared with the model group P <0.05).
[0045] (3) Effect of Cs-2025 on organ index and kidney pathology of mice with renal function injury The kidney size of the normal control group mice was moderate, the color was brownish red, and the surface was smooth, while the kidney of the model group animals was significantly enlarged, and the kidney index increased P< 0.01) (see Table 3), pale, surface uneven, the kidney color of Cs-2025 each administration group was reddish-brown, surface smooth, and the kidney index of Cs-2025 each administration group was obviously reduced P < 0.01) (see Table 3).
[0046] Compared with the normal control group, the thymus of the model group was significantly atrophic and small, the spleen was obviously small, the thymus index and the kidney index were reduced P < 0.01) (see Table 3), and the thymus and the spleen of Cs-2025 each administration group were close to the normal control group, the thymus index and the kidney index were increased compared with the model control group, and were close to the normal control group P < 0.01) (see Table 3).

[0048] Note: * Significant difference compared with the normal control group P < 0.05; △ Significant difference compared with the model group P < 0.05.
[0049] From the pathological results, it can be seen that the cortex and medulla of the kidney of the normal control group mouse were clear, the number and shape of glomerulus were normal, and the shape of renal tubule was normal: no expansion, intact epithelium, and no edema phenomenon Figure 1 ); the renal tubule of the model mouse was severely expanded, the renal tubule epithelium was edematous, and the renal interstitium was infiltrated with inflammatory cells Figure 2 ); the renal tubule of the Cs-2025 administration group mouse was slightly expanded, and no epithelial edema was observed, and the inflammatory cell infiltration of the renal interstitium was reduced Figure 3 .
