OBJECTIVE: To determine the role of fosinopril and valsartan intervention in Klotho, matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9), tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1) and plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI-1) gene expression in hypertensive renal interstitial fibrosis (RIF) in the kidney tissue of spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR).METHODS: We randomly divided 20 male 22-week-old SHR into 4 groups (5 in each group): a hypertension group (SHR group), a fosinopril group [Fos group, 10 mg/( kg · d) gavage], a valsartan group [Val group, 10 mg/( kg · d) gavage], and a fosinopril plus valsartan group [Fos + Val group, fosinopril 10 mg/( kg · d) + valsartan 50 mg/( kg · d) gavage]. Another five 22-week-old male Wistar Kyoto rats (WKY) were used as controls. Through monitoring the weight of the rats, tail artery pressure, 24-hour urine protein by fosinopril and/or valsartan intervention after the 8-week trial. RT-PCR and Western blot were used to detect the mRNA and protein expression of Klotho, MMP-9, TIMP-1, and PAI-1 in the kidneys.RESULTS: RT-PCR showed that in the SHR group, Klotho mRNA and protein expression were significantly decreased(P
