Biological Activity
Hirudin inhibits the activity of thrombin, deprives the ability of thrombin to cleave fibrinogen, prevents the formation of fibrin and the cross-linking polymerization process of fibrin monomer in internal and external coagulation pathway[1]. Hirudin reduces cell apoptosis of human microvascular endothelial cells (HMVECs) and suppresses the expression of p-JAK2 via antagonizing thrombin[1]. Hirudin inhibits VEGF-Notch pathway and cell proliferation of HMVECs at high doses[1]. Hirudin (3-10 mg/mL) reverses the abnormal proliferation and fibrosis in HK-2 cells caused by TGF-β1[1]. Hirudin depresses the myocardial fibroblasts induced by angiotensin II by dose-dependently inhibits oxidative stress, regulates fibrosis-related factors, and represses the ERK1/2 pathway[1].

Animal Model:Male balb/c mice with underwent unilateral ureteral ligation (UUO)[2]
-
Dosage:10 and 15 mg/kg
-
Administration:Oral gavage; 10 and 15 mg/kg, once daily for 21 days
-
Result:Reduced renal damages and suppressed the upregulation of α-SMA, collagen deposition in UUO mice. Increased the level of fibrosis (collagen-I, FN, α-SMA), N-cad, slug and E-cad in UUO mice. Decreased the level of IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α, apoptosis of renal tubular cells in UUO mice. Decreased the expression of inflammatory factors, the occurrence of EMT, the incidence of fibrosis and the apoptosis of TGF-β-induced renal tubular epithelial cell.
