The transgenic rat TGR(mRen-2)27, in which the Ren-2 mouse renin gene is transfected into the genome of the rat, develops severe hypertension with high adrenal renin and low kidney renin. These animals express both mouse and rat renin. To investigate the cause of hypertension in the TGR rat, we compared the kinetics of mouse renin acting on mouse and rat angiotensinogens. The optimum pH of the ...
Antirenin to hog renin produced in the dog neutralizes the acute pressor effect of dog as well as hog renin. A course of intramuscular injections of hog renin in chronic renal hypertensive dogs produces an antihypertensive effect which is correlated with the antirenin titers of the plasma. Passive transfer of high titer homologous antiserum to hog renin produces an anti-hypertensive effect in c...
1. Procedures are described for the extraction and partial purification of dog renin, on a large scale, as well as for the acetylation of rat, rabbit, and dog renin. 2. Untreated homologous renin was not antigenic in rat, rabbit, or dog, but the acetylation of homologous renin made it antigenic. 3. Immunization of rats, rabbits, and dogs, with acetylated rat, rabbit, and dog renin, respectively...
Cultured bovine aortic endothelial cells were examined for renin activity by biochemical, immunological, and immunohistochemical techniques. When cell sonicates were incubated with renin substrate, linear generation of angiotensin I was observed (1.12 ± 0.2 ng angiotensin I/10 cells per hr). The effect of pH on this activity was similar to that of bovine renal renin, and renin antibodies inhibi...
Normal renin synthesis and secretion is important for the maintenance of juxtaglomerular apparatus architecture. Mice lacking a functional Ren1d gene are devoid of renal juxtaglomerular cell granules and exhibit an altered macula densa morphology. Due to the species-specificity of renin activity, transgenic mice are ideal models for experimentally investigating and manipulating expression patte...
Inactive renin and active renin from human kidney and human plasma were prepared in highly purified forms by three steps of chromatography on Octyl-Sepharose, immunoaffinity chromatography, and pepstatin-amino hexyl Sepharose CL-4B. The inactive renin and active renin from human kidney had molecular weights of 51,000 and 44,000 as measured by a calibrated gel filtration column run with internal...
The primary product of the renin gene is preprorenin. A signal peptide sorts renin to the secretory pathway in juxtaglomerular cells where it is released into the circulation to initiate the renin-angiotensin system cascade. In the brain, transcription of renin occurs from an alternative promoter encoding an mRNA starting with a new first exon (exon 1b). Exon 1b initiating transcripts skip over...
The pathogenesis of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is probably the result of interplay between cytokines/chemokines and growth factors. The renin-angiotensin (Ang) system is involved, although its profibrotic effect is attributed to Ang II. However, recent studies suggest that renin, through a specific receptor, is implicated in fibrogenesis. In this study, the expression of renin and reni...
We showed recently that deletion of a strong enhancer located 2.7 kb upstream of the renin gene in mice produces a strain with mild hypotension and salt-sensitivity. Here we set out to compare responses in renin expression in kidney and extrarenal tissues in these "REKO" mice. REKO and wild-type mice were placed on a low NaCl/enalapril regimen for 1 week, and then Ren-1(c) mRNA and renin enzyme...
Although renin is a critical regulatory enzyme of the cardiovascular system, its roles in organogenesis and the establishment of cardiovascular homeostasis remain unclear. Mammalian renin-expressing cells are widespread in embryonic kidneys but are highly restricted, specialized endocrine cells in adults. With a functional pronephros, embryonic zebrafish are ideal for delineating the developmen...
