Renal endothelin ET(A)/ET(B) receptor imbalance differentiates salt-sensitive from salt-resistant spontaneous hypertension.

چکیده
It is unclear why a subgroup of patients with essential hypertension develop salt-sensitive hypertension with progression of target organ damage over time. We evaluated the role of the renal endothelin (ET) system in the stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHRSP) model of salt-sensitive spontaneous hypertension (SS-SH) compared with the spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR) model of salt-resistant spontaneous hypertension (SR-SH). Both strains were studied after either sham-operation on a normal diet (Sham) or after unilateral nephrectomy and high NaCl loading (NX-NaCl) with 4% NaCl in diet for 6 weeks (n=10, respectively). Systolic blood pressure (SBP) increased only in SHRSP-NX-NaCl compared with SHRSP-Sham (250+/-6 versus 172+/-5 mm Hg, P:<0.0001). SBP remained unchanged in SHR-NX-NaCl compared with SHR-Sham. In SHRSP-NX-NaCl animals, urinary albumin and ET-1 excretion, renal ET-1 mRNA expression, glomerulosclerosis index, and tubulointerstitial damage index were elevated compared with SHRSP-Sham (P:<0.05, respectively), whereas no significant changes were found in SHR after NX-NaCl. Urinary sodium excretion (U(Na(+))) was significantly reduced by 38% in SHRSP-NX-NaCl compared with SHR-NX-NaCl (P:<0.005, respectively). SHR animals showed a similar increase in both renal ET(A) and ET(B) receptor densities after NX-NaCl (2.2-fold, P:<0.05). In contrast, SHRSP-NX-NaCl developed a significantly more pronounced increase in ET(A) compared with ET(B) binding (4.7-fold versus 2.4-fold, P:<0.05, compared with SHRSP-Sham, respectively), resulting in a significant 2.1-fold increase in ET(A)/ET(B) receptor ratio only in the SHRSP-NX-NaCl (P:<0.05). Thus, activation of the renal ET system together with an increased ET(A)/ET(B) receptor ratio may contribute to the development and progression of SS-SH.

Renal medullary endothelin-1 is decreased in Dahl salt-sensitive rats.
Although it is well established that the renal endothelin (ET-1) system plays an important role in regulating sodium excretion and blood pressure through activation of renal medullary ET(B) receptors, the role of this system in Dahl salt-sensitive (DS) hypertension is unclear. The purpose of this study was to determine whether the DS rat has abnormalities in the renal medullary endothelin syste...
متن کاملPathophysiological roles of endothelin-1 in Dahl salt-sensitive hypertension.
The purpose of the present experiment was to study the pathophysiological roles of endothelin-1 (ET-1) in salt-sensitive hypertension with the use of Dahl salt-sensitive (DS) and salt-resistant (DR) rats. PreproET-1 mRNA expression was determined by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. In the kidney, expression of preproET-1 mRNA was greater in DS rats on a normal salt diet compared...

The aim of this study was to examine the role of endothelin-A (ET(A)) receptors in mediating the hypertension and renal injury associated with high salt intake in Dahl salt-sensitive (DS) rats. To achieve this goal, we examined the effects of chronic selective ET(A) antagonist (A-127722) treatment at a dose of 10 mg/kg/d on arterial pressure, renal function, and morphology in DS and Dahl salt-r...
