Role of angiotensin II type 1a receptor in renal injury induced by deoxycorticosterone acetate-salt hypertension.

ABSTRACT: The aim of this study was to investigate the in vivo role of angiotensin II type 1a (AT1a) receptor in renal damage as a result of hypertension by using transgenic mice with AT1a receptor gene disruption. Transgenic mice that express human liver-type fatty acid binding protein (L-FABP) with or without disruption of the AT1a receptor gene (L-FABP^+/- AT1a^-/-, and L-FABP^+/- AT1a^+/+, respectively) were used with urinary L-FABP as an indicator of tubulointerstitial damage. Those female mice were administered subcutaneously deoxycorticosterone acetate (DOCA)-salt tablets plus drinking water that contained 1% saline for 28 d after uninephrectomy. In L-FABP^+/- AT1a^+/+ mice that received DOCA-salt treatment, hypertension was induced and slight expansion of glomerular area, glomerular sclerosis, and tubulointerstitial damage were observed. In L-FABP^+/- AT1a^-/- mice that received DOCA-salt treatment, hypertension was similarly induced and the degree of glomerular damage was significantly more severe than in L-FABP^+/- AT1a^+/+-DOCA mice. Urinary L-FABP levels were significantly higher in L-FABP^+/- AT1a^-/--DOCA mice compared with those in L-FABP^+/- AT1a^+/+-DOCA mice. Hydralazine treatment significantly attenuated renal damage that was found in L-FABP^+/- AT1a^-/--DOCA mice along with a reduction in blood pressure. In summary, activation of the AT1a receptor may contribute to maintenance of the glomerular structure against hypertensive renal damage.-Hisamichi, M., Kamijo-Ikemori, A., Sugaya, T., Ichikawa, D., Natsuki, T., Hoshino, S., Kimura, K., Shibagaki, Y.

Project description:Previously, we showed that the cytochrome P450 1B1 inhibitor 2,3',4,5'-tetramethoxystilbene reversed deoxycorticosterone acetate (DOCA)-salt-induced hypertension and minimized endothelial and renal dysfunction in the rat. This study was conducted to test the hypothesis that cytochrome P450 1B1 contributes to cardiac dysfunction, and renal damage and inflammation associated with DOCA-salt-induced hypertension, via increased production of reactive oxygen species and modulation of neurohumoral factors and signaling molecules. DOCA-salt increased systolic blood pressure, cardiac and renal cytochrome P450 1B1 activity, and plasma levels of catecholamines, vasopressin, and endothelin-1 in wild-type (Cyp1b1(+/+)) mice that were minimized in Cyp1b1(-/-) mice. Cardiac function, assessed by echocardiography, showed that DOCA-salt increased the thickness of the left ventricular posterior and anterior walls during diastole, the left ventricular internal diameter, and end-diastolic and end-systolic volume in Cyp1b1(+/+) but not in Cyp1b1(-/-) mice; stroke volume was not altered in either genotype. DOCA-salt increased renal vascular resistance and caused vascular hypertrophy and renal fibrosis, increased renal infiltration of macrophages and T lymphocytes, caused proteinuria, increased cardiac and renal nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate-oxidase activity, caused production of reactive oxygen species, and increased activities of extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2, p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase, and cellular-Src; these were all reduced in DOCA-salt-treated Cyp1b1(-/-) mice. Renal and cardiac levels of eicosanoids were not altered in either genotype of mice. These data suggest that, in DOCA-salt hypertension in mice, cytochrome P450 1B1 plays a pivotal role in cardiovascular dysfunction, renal damage, and inflammation, and increased levels of catecholamines, vasopressin, and endothelin-1, consequent to generation of reactive oxygen species and activation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2, p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase, and cellular-Src independent of eicosanoids.

Project description:New findingsWhat is the central question of this study? Are renal functional responses to intrarenal angiotensin 1-7 (Ang (1-7)) infusion dependent on the level of the endogenous renin-angiotensin system (RAS) in the two-kidney one-clip (2K1C) and deoxycorticosterone acetate (DOCA)-salt animal models of hypertension? What is the main finding and its importance? The renal actions of Ang (1-7) are dependent on the relative endogenous levels of each arm of the classical angiotensin II-angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT1 R) axis and those of the Ang (1-7)-Mas receptor axis. These findings support the hypothesis that a balance exists between the intrarenal classical and novel arms of the RAS, and in particular the relative abundance of AT1 R to Mas receptor, which may to a large extent determine the renal excretory response to Ang (1-7) infusion.AbstractThis study investigated the action of angiotensin 1-7 (Ang (1-7)) on renal haemodynamic and excretory function in the two-kidney one-clip (2K1C) and deoxycorticosterone acetate (DOCA)-salt rat models of hypertension, in which the endogenous renin-angiotensin system (RAS) activity was likely to be raised or lowered, respectively. Rats were anaesthetised and prepared for the measurement of mean arterial pressure and kidney function during renal interstitial infusion of Ang (1-7) or saline. Kidney tissue concentrations of angiotensin II (Ang II) and Ang (1-7) were determined. Intrarenal infusion of Ang (1-7) into the clipped kidney of 2K1C rats increased urine flow (UV), absolute (UNa V) and fractional sodium (FENa ) excretions by 110%, 214% and 147%, respectively. Renal Ang II concentrations of the clipped kidney were increased with no major changes in Ang (1-7) concentration. By contrast, Ang (1-7) infusion decreased UV, UNa V, and FENa by 27%, 24% and 21%, respectively in the non-clipped kidney in which tissue Ang (1-7) concentrations were increased, but renal Ang II concentrations were unchanged compared to sham animals. Ang (1-7) infusion in DOCA-salt rats had minimal effects on glomerular filtration rate but significantly decreased UV, UNa V and FENa by ∼30%. Renal Ang (1-7) concentrations were higher and Ang II concentrations were lower in DOCA-salt rats compared to sham rats. These findings demonstrate that the intrarenal infusion of exogenous Ang (1-7) elicits different renal excretory responses the magnitude of which is dependent on the balance between the endogenous renal Ang II-AT1 receptor axis and Ang (1-7)-Mas receptor axis.
