Angiotensin AT? receptor stimulation inhibits early renal inflammation in renovascular hypertension.

ABSTRACT: Angiotensin II type 2 receptor (AT?R) counteracts most effects of angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT(1)R). We hypothesized that direct AT?R stimulation reduces renal production of the inflammatory cytokines tumor necrosis factor-? (TNF-?), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and transforming growth factor-?1 (TGF-?1) and enhances the production of nitric oxide (NO) and cyclic guanosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cGMP) in the clipped kidney of 2-kidney, 1-clip (2K1C) hypertension rat model. We used Sprague-Dawley rats to evaluate changes in renal interstitial fluid recovery levels of TNF-?, IL-6, NO, and cGMP; renal expression of AT?R, AT?R, TGF-?1, TNF-?, and IL-6 in sham and 2K1C rats treated for 4 days with vehicle, AT?R agonist compound 21 (C21), or AT?R antagonist PD123319 (PD), alone and combined (n=6, each group). Systolic blood pressure increased significantly in 2K1C and was not influenced by any treatment. Clipped kidneys showed significant increases in renal expression of AT?R, AT?R, TNF-?, IL-6, TGF-?1 and decreases in NO and cGMP levels. These factors were not influenced by PD treatment. In contrast, C21 caused significant decrease in renal TNF-?, IL-6, TGF-?1 and an increase in NO and cGMP levels. Combined C21 and PD treatment partially reversed the observed C21 effects. Compared to sham, there were no significant changes in TNF-?, IL-6, TGF-?1, NO, or cGMP in the nonclipped kidneys of 2K1C animals. We conclude that direct AT?R stimulation reduces early renal inflammatory responses and improves production of NO and cGMP in renovascular hypertension independent of blood pressure reduction.

Angiotensin II type 2 receptor (AT₂R) counteracts most effects of angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT(1)R). We hypothesized that direct AT₂R stimulation reduces renal production of the inflammatory cytokines tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) and enhances the production of nitric oxide (NO) and cyclic guanosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cGMP) in the clipped kidney of 2-kidney, 1-clip (2K1C) hypertension rat model. We used Sprague-Dawley ra ...[more]

Project description:Atherosclerotic renovascular disease (ARVD) is associated with high rates of coronary events and predicts mortality among patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). However, the impact of coronary atherosclerosis on renal outcomes after revascularization of ARVD is unclear. We hypothesized that CAD negatively impacts renal functional outcomes among patients with ARVD undergoing renal artery revascularization.Patients with ARVD who underwent echocardiography at Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota, USA between 2004 and 2012 were identified retrospectively and included if they had ejection fraction more than 50%. Renal and overall outcomes were compared among atherosclerotic renovascular disease patients with coronary artery disease (ARVD-C, n?=?75) and without coronary artery disease (ARVD, n?=?56), within 1 year from initial revascularization and included blood pressure control, renal function, and incident cardiovascular/cerebrovascular events.Degree of renal artery stenosis was similar in both groups. ARVD-C had higher prevalence of diabetes, peripheral artery disease (PAD), and cerebrovascular disease, and lower baseline renal function. Risk of developing end-stage renal disease was higher in ARVD-C (11 vs. 2%, P?=?0.05). Despite better control of blood pressure and cholesterol levels, renal function postrevascularization worsened in 15% of ARVD-C compared with 2% of ARVD (P?=?0.01). Differences in clinical outcomes remained statistically significant after adjustment for covariables, including sex, baseline blood pressure, renal function, underlying diabetes, cholesterol levels, and medications. Similar differences in clinical outcomes were also associated with PAD and cerebrovascular disease.CAD in patients with ARVD is a predictor of worse outcomes after renal revascularization, likely reflecting diffuse atherosclerotic disease. Further studies are needed to develop strategies to manage patients with vascular comorbidities and improve their outcomes.

Project description:Activation of the renin angiotensin system plays a pivotal role in the regulation of blood pressure, which is mainly attributed to the formation of angiotensin-II (Ang II). The actions of Ang II are mediated through binding to the Ang-II type 1 receptor (AT1R) which leads to increased blood pressure, fluid retention, and aldosterone secretion. In addition, Ang II is also involved in cell injury, vascular remodeling, and inflammation. The actions of Ang II could be antagonized by its conversion to the vasodilator peptide Ang (1-7), partly generated by the action of angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) and/or neprilysin (NEP). Previous studies demonstrated increased urinary ACE2 shedding in the db/db mouse model of diabetic kidney disease. The aim of the study was to investigate whether renal and urinary ACE2 and NEP are altered in the 2K1C Goldblatt hypertensive mice. Since AT1R is highly expressed in the kidney, we also researched the effect of global deletion of AT1R on renal and urinary ACE2, NEP, and kidney injury marker (KIM-1). Hypertension and albuminuria were induced in AT1R knock out (AT1RKO) and WT mice by unilateral constriction of the renal artery of one kidney. The 24 h mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) was measured using radio-telemetry. Two weeks after 2K1C surgery, MAP and albuminuria were significantly increased in WT mice compared to AT1RKO mice. Results demonstrated a correlation between MAP and albuminuria. Unlike db/db diabetic mice, ACE2 and NEP expression and activities were significantly decreased in the clipped kidney of WT and AT1RKO compared with the contralateral kidney and sham control (p < 0.05). There was no detectable urinary ACE2 and NEP expression and activity in 2K1C mice. KIM-1 was significantly increased in the clipped kidney of WT and AT1KO (p < 0.05). Deletion of AT1R has no effect on the increased urinary KIM-1 excretion detected in 2K1C mice. In conclusion, renal injury in 2K1C Goldblatt mouse model is associated with loss of renal ACE2 and NEP expression and activity. Urinary KIM-1 could serve as an early indicator of acute kidney injury. Deletion of AT1R attenuates albuminuria and hypertension without affecting renal ACE2, NEP, and KIM-1 expression.
