Abstract The present study was designed to compare the benificial prophylactic effects of nebivolol and lisinoprilon the progression of diabetic nephropathy in a rat model of streptozotocin induced diabetes. Animals were classified intoNormal Control group (received no medication), Utreated diabetic group induced by administrated of single I.P injection 65mg/kg of streptozotocin "STZ", Nebivolol treated diabetic group (2mg/kg p.o) for 7 weeks,Lisinopril treated diabetic group (1mg/kg p.o) for 7 weeks. The obtained results in the current work revealed that induction of diabetes by streptozotocin resulted in significant increase of fasting blood glucose level (FBG), serum urea level, serum creatinine level, 24hrs urinary albumin excretion (UAE) and significantly decrease renal blood flow (RBF), shows significant changes in histological findings in the kidney as compared to control group. While nebivolol treated group resulted in decrease FBG, serum urea, serum creatinine levels, decrease UAE and significantly increased RBF. It shows improvement in the histological findings as compared to untreated streptozotocin (STZ) induced diabetic nephropathy. Lisinopril treated group resulted in no changes in FBG level, significantly decreased serum urea level, serum creatinine level, decreased 24hrs UAE level and increased RBF. It also shows improvement in the histological findings as compared to untreated streptozotocin (STZ) induced diabetic nephropathy. Conclusively: Nebivolol may replace ACE inhibitor as the first choice drug in diabetics for prevention of end organ damage. Lisinopril have the superiority in improvement the parameters of kidney function but nebivolol show marked improvement of the pathological changes occured in untreated diabetic nephropathy group and significantly increase renal blood flow. 1 INTRODUCTION: DN is one of the most serious complications of diabetes and the most common cause of end-stage renal failure in the Western world. Diabetic kidney disease affects about 15 to 25% of type 1 diabetic patients (Hovind et al., 2003) and 30 to 40% of patients with type 2 diabetes (Yokoyama et al., 2000). Hyperglycemia is a significant risk factor for the development of microalbuminuria, both in type 1 and in type 2 DM. A reduction of 1% in HbA1c is associated with a 37% decrease in microvascular endpoints (Stratton et al., 2000). Arterial hypertension is a main risk factor for the development of DN and probably the best known relevant factor related to its progression. Analysis of United kingdom Prospective Diabetes Study (UKPDS) showed that every 10 mmHg reduction in systolic BP is associated with a 13% reduction in the risk of microvascular complications, with the smallest risk among those patients with systolic BP <120 mm Hg (Adler et al., 2000).Proteinuria >2 g/24 h is associated with a greater risk of end stage renal disease (ESRD). Diabetic nephropathy occurs as a result of an interaction between hemodynamic and metabolic factors (Cooper, 2001). Hemodynamic factors include increased systemic and intraglomerular pressure, as well as activation of vasoactive hormone pathways including the renin angiotensin system and endothelin(Hargrove et al., 2000). Hyperglycemia and advanced products of non-enzymatic glycosilation causes proliferation of mesangial cells and their matrix, as well as the thickening of the basement membrane.The final products of non-enzymatic glycosilation are bound to collagen and proteins that constitute the glomerular basement membrane and make the glomerular barrier more permeable to the passage of proteins, resulting in increased urinary albumin excretion (UAE) (Dronavalli et al., 2008). Nebivolol a highly selective beta-1 adrenoceptor blocker possessing vasodilator properties, delayed the progression of renalfibrosis and protected against endothelial dysfunction through their ability to increase nitric oxide (NO) bioavailability and reduce NADPH oxidase activity which exerts a fundamentalrole in the regulation of renalfunction,glomerular filtration, renalblood flow and inducesnatriuresis (Whaley-Connell et al., 2009). Renoprotective effects of lisinopril as it decrease in systemic blood pressure, decrease in intraglomerular pressure, increased renal blood flow (counters ischemia secondary to intrarenal vasoconstriction), decreases proteinuria, natriuretic secondary to inhibition of angiotensin II, induce solute transport across proximal convoluted tubule, decrease in aldosterone production, decrease in tubule-glomerular feed back sensitivity, fall in filteration fraction, and decrease in peritubular osmotic pressure, inhibit non hemodynamic effects of angiotensin II in turn leads to less proliferation, hypertrophy, matrix expansion, and cytokine and growth factor synthesis (Piero et al. 2004, and Kobayashi et al., 2006)and itinhibits the formation of TGF-ß and tubulointerstitial fibrosis in diabetic nephropathy patient (Amann et al., 2003). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Diabetes was induced in rats by a single intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection of Streptozotocin (65 mg/kg STZ) in overnight fasting rats. After 7 days followingSTZ blood was collected from retro-orbital puncture and serum samples were analyzed for blood glucose. Animals showing fasting blood glucose higher than 250 mg/dl were considered as diabetic and used for the study (Masiello et al., 1998). Animal groups: each group contained 6 rats. Group (I): Normal Control group: Rats of this group received no medication.Group (II): Non- treated diabetic group: Diabetes will be induced by administrated of single intaperitoneal injection 65mg/kg of streptozotocin "STZ" (Masiello et al., 1998). Group (III):Nebivolol treated diabetic group: Diabetic rats after 1 week of STZ administration were treated with nebivolol (2mg/kg p.o) for 7 weeks (Kakadiya et al., 2010).Group (IV):Lisinopril treated diabetic group: Diabetic rats after 1 week of STZ administration were treated with lisinopril (1mg/kg p.o) for 7 weeks (Khurana et al., 2011). STATISTICAL ANALYSIS: All values were expressed as mean ± S.D. Data were statistically analyzed using one 2 way ANOVA followed by Tukey's multiple comparison tests. The p value of less than 0.05 was considered to be statistically significant. RESULTS: Effect of nebivolol versus lisinopril on diabetic nephropathy parameters in rats after 8 weeks. Data in table (1) show that untreated diabetic group resulted in significant increase in FBS(457.66± 21.1), serum urea level (94.9± 2.4) and serum creatinine level (1.56± 0.11) in comparison to control group while nebivolol show significant decrease in FBS level (366.66±10.9), serum urea level (41.16± 1.9) and serum creatinine level (1.15± 0.08). Lisinopril treated group resulted in no change in FBS (429.33± 18), significant decrease in serum urea level (26.25± 1.3) and serum creatinine level (0.8± 0.07) in comparison to untreated diabetic group.

DISCUSSION: Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is typically defined by macroalbuminuria that is a urinary albumin excretion of more than 300 mg in a 24-hour collection or macroalbuminuria and abnormal renal function. Recent studies have suggested the emerging role of inflammatory processes in the pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy (Shlipak, 2009). The present study was designed to explore the benificial prophylactic effect of nebivolol and lisinopril on the progression of diabetic nephropathy in rats models of streptozotocin induced diabetes regarding to their effect on Fasting blood glucose level (FBG), 24h urinary albumin excretion (24h UAE), Serum urea level, serum creatinine level, Renal blood flow (RBF) and histopathological changes in the kidney. The obtained results in the current work revealed that induction of diabetes mellitus by streptozotocin showed significant increase in Fasting blood glucose level (FBG), 24hs urinary albumin excreation (24h UAE ), Serum urea level, Serum creatinine level and decrease of renal blood flow. These results are in agreement with Khurana et al., 2011. In the present study as regard FBG it is found that nebivolol administration to diabetic rats for 7weeks study resulted in significant reduction in FBG level compared to diabetic untreated rats however administration of lisinopril has no significant effect on FBG level as compared to diabetic untreated rats. These results are in agreement with Kakadiya et al., (2010) who observed significant decrease in the glucose and HbA1c level in diabetic rats after treatment with nebivolol when compared with untreated diabetic rats. Van Bortel, (2010) who observed that nebivolol improved blood glucose levels and was well tolerated in hypertensive patients with concomitant DM. These results can be explained by Cockcroft et al., (1995) and Broeders et al., (2000), who observed that nebivolol increases the bioavailability of endogenous nitric oxide (NO). NO decreases the expression of plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI-1) and improves insulin sensitivity and muscle glucose uptake. In contrast Schmidt et al., (2007) and Badar et al, (2011) noticed that nebivolol had neutral effect on blood glucose level. Sawicki and Siebenhofer (2001), observed that selective β1 blocker do not significantly affect glucose metabolism nor prolong hypoglycemia or mask hypoglycemic symptoms. Khurana et al., (2011), showed Treatment of diabetic rats with lisinopril for 7 weeks did not produce any marked effect on serum glucose level, and these results are in line with Wolfgange Wienen et al., (2001) who observed that Long-term treatment with either telmisartan or lisinopril did not modify body weight and plasma and urine glucose level in 5 STZ-induced diabetic nephropathy. This is also in agreement with reports in the literature using either the ACE-I perindopril or the Ang II AT1-receptor antagonist losartan (Cooper, 1988). In contrast Agrawal et al., (1996), observed that lisinopril did not exhibit significant reduction in blood glucose levels in normoglycemic rats but it showed significant antihyperglycemic activity in diabetic rats. These findings suggest that lisinopril may have some insulin sensitivity potentiating properties in type2 diabetes mellitus but not in normoglycemic rats. Murad et al., (2009) showed a potential hypoglycemic effect of ACE inhibitor and a majority of these are with the use of captopril. The mechanism for lisinopril-induced hypoglycaemia is not well defined, it is proposed that the increase in bradykinins associated with ACE inhibitor use may cause an increase in insulin sensitivity (Vuorinen-Markkola et al., 1995). In the present study, it was found that administration of nebivolol and lisinopril to diabetic rats for 7weeks after induction of diabetes mellitus resulted in significant reduction in 24 h UAE compared to diabetic untreated rats. Our results are in agreement with Whaley-Connell et al., (2009), who showed that nebivolol improves proteinuria through reductions in renal RAAS-mediated increases in NADPH oxidase/ROS and increases in bioavailable NO. Bakris et al., (2005), have demonstrated that treatment with nebivolol reduced albuminuria in patients with insulin resistance and the metabolic syndrome. Several trials have demonstrated a beneficial effect of nebivolol on kidney function including an increase in renal blood flow and a reduction in microalbuminuria (Agrawal et al., 1996). In contrast Maria et al., (2010), observed that rats with chronic renal failure treated with nebivolol show higher level of proteinuria like untreated rats. Anderson et al., (1985) is in line with this result. Perico et al., (2009), showed that ACE inhibitors given early after the induction of the MI significantly reduced systemic BP and normalized urinary protein excretion. By contrast, late administration of the drug was unable to affect proteinuria, despite effective control of BP. Abbate et al., (1999), showed that lisinopril and mycophenolate significantly reduced proteinuria induced inflammatory injury as well as the rate of disease progression in normal rats with 1-5/6 nephrectomy (a procedure that reduces functioning kidney tissue to < 25% of normal). This information implies that any therapy, such as treatment with an ACE inhibitor or ARB reduces proteinuria may have a benefit that brought about by reduction in blood pressure or alteration of glomerular hemodynamics. Schjoedt et al., (2009), evaluated the optimal renoprotective effect of ultrahigh doses of lisinopril, as reflected by short-term changes in urinary albumin excretion rate (UAER) in diabetic patients with diabetic nephropathy. Ariela et al., (2003), found that the addition of lisinopril to TGF-B normalized proteinuria and attenuated renal injury of diabetic nephropathy with limitation lymphocytes/macrophages infiltration and decrease type III collagen in the renal interstitium. As regard to serum urea and creatinine levels it is found that administration of nebivolol and lisinopril to diabetic rats for 8 weeks study resulted in significant reduction in their levels compared to diabetic untreated rats. Kakadiya and Shah, (2011), observed that using nebivolol at 2 mg/kg may show more reduced Creatinine same as sham control, and reduced renal complication in Ischemia/Reperfusion induced renal damage in type 2 diabetic rats. Kakadiya et al., (2010), showed decrease in serum urea level in Ischemia/reperfusion induced renal damage in diabetic rats with treatment by nebivolol. In the hypertensive diabetic rats, Nebivolol showed a significant reduction in blood urea level but not statistically significant reduction in serum creatinine level (Vidhiyasagaran et al., 2013). In contrast Maria et al., (2010), who reported that nebivolol administration to rats of chronic failure resulted in no changes in plasma 6 creatinine and urea concentrations, glomerular filtration rate, determined as creatinine clearance, and urinary protein excretion. Khurana et al., (2011), who found that lisinopril administration to diabetic rats resulted in significant reduction in serum urea and creatinine levels. On the other hand, Jalal et al., (2010), observed that lisinopril administration has no effect on serum creatinine or creatinine clearance levels. Raineri et al., (1994), showed the same results. Onozato et al., (2002), found that administration of lisinopril to STZ-diabetic rats showed no significant effect on serum creatinine level. In contrast with our results Olaiya et al., (2013), observed that lisinopril may be associated with a rise in serum creatinine and BUN, GFR has been shown to remain unchanged or improve in most diabetic patients. As regard to RBF in the present study, it was found that administration of nebivolol and lisinopril to diabetic rats for 7weeks study resulted in significant increase in RBF compared to diabetic untreated rats. These results are in agreement with Greven and Gabriëls, (2000), who observed that nebivolol exerts significant renal vasodilating effects and increases urinary excretion of fluid and solutes. The actions of nebivolol on renal hemodynamics are assumed to be mediated by a stimulation of the NO-synthase. These findings are consistent with evidence obtained from whole kidney studies showing that nebivolol increased renal plasma flow, reduced renal perfusion pressure and dilated renal arteries (Georgescu et al., 2008). On ther hand Mangrella et al., (1998), Showed that nebivolol does not significantly modify glomerular filtration rate or renal plasma flow. August et al., (1993), observed that patients who had a significant lower blood pressure in response to lisinopril and verapamil had favorable renal hemodynamic responses as well GFR remained stable, RBF was stable or increased, and filtration fraction, renal vascular resistance, and proteinuria tended to decrease. Histological examination of the kidney at the end of the study showed that lisinopril and nebivolol caused improvement of histological findings in comparison to untreated diabetic group. These results are in agreement with Kakadiya et al., (2010), who found that administration of nebivolol to STZ induced diabetic rats reduce tubular dilation, loss of interstitial hemorrhage, and glomerular atrophy. Omer et al., (2008), who found that pre and post treatment with nebivolol in contrast media induced nephropathy in rats attenuated tubular necrosis (outer zone of medulla), proteinaceous casts (inner zone of the medulla), and medullary congestion (outer zone of medulla). Maria et al., (2010), found that treatment with nebivolol reduced tubular dilatation and atrophy, as well as tubulointerstitial infiltration and fibrosis in chronic renal failure rats. These effects occurred as nebivolol induces vasodilation through NO production, stimulated NO release, enhanced NO bioavailability and prevented NO deactivation (Kakoki et al., 1999). Khurana et al., (2011) observed that administration of lisinopril to diabetic rats for 7 weeks markedly protected the kidney from renal pathological changes. Ariela et al., (2003) showed that treatment of diabetic rats with lisinopril produced reduction in the percentage of glomeruli with sclerotic changes reduced tubular damage scores to values similar to controls. In contrast Wolfgang Wienen et al., (2001), found that treatment of hypertensive diabetic rats with lisinopril produced no changes in the pathological condition which present in the untreated group. CONCLUSION: From the data obtained in the present work it could be concluded that: diabetes induced by streptozotocin could induce diabetic nephropathy as indicated by increased 7 FBS, serum urea level, serum ceatinine level, 24hrs UAE and decrease RBF as well as histopathological changes in kidney tissue. Treatment with nebivolol and lisinopril resulted in prophylaxis against diabetic nephropathy as showed by marked reductions in FBS with nebivolol treatment and reduction of serum urea level, serum creatinine level and 24h UAE as well as significant increase in RBF and also improvement of histopathological features with nebivolol and lisinopril treatment.
