Methods: Mice were randomly divided into model group and control group. Animals in model group were injected with cationic bovine serum albumin (C-BSA) every other day for MN model and control group were injected normal saline as negative control. Urinary protein qualitative test since the third week. All rabbits were sacrificed at the end of the 4th week, immunofluorescence was performed in kidney tissues, and the morphological changes were observed by light microscope and electron microscope. The expression of TIMP - 1 in renal tissues was detected by immunohistochemistry (SABC method) Semi-quantitative observation; image analysis system to detect basement membrane (BM) thickness. Results: Model group model was established successfully. The expression of TIMP - 1 in the kidney of the model group and the control group was mainly expressed in the cytoplasm of renal tubular epithelial cells. The expression of TIMP - 1 was only sporadic in the glomerular cells of the model group, but not in the control group. 1 expression. The expression of TIMP - 1 in model group was significantly higher than that in control group (P <0.01). The glomerular basement membrane (GBM) and tubule basement membrane (TBM) (P <0. 01). Statistical analysis showed that there was a positive correlation between the expression of TIMP - 1 and the thickness of GBM (0. 01
0.05). Conclusion: The increased expression of TIMP - 1 is positively correlated with the thickening of GBM and TBM, suggesting that elevated TIMP - 1 is involved in the mechanism of thickening of GBM and TBM and plays an important role in the pathogenesis of MN.
