An Intact Kidney Slice Model to Investigate Vasa Recta Properties and Function in situ
BACKGROUND Medullary blood flow is via vasa recta capillaries, which possess contractile pericytes. In vitro studies using isolated descending vasa recta show that pericytes can constrict/dilate descending vasa recta when vasoactive substances are present. We describe a live kidney slice model in which pericyte-mediated vasa recta constriction/dilation can be visualized in situ. METHODS Confo...
متن کاملOsmolality of vasa recta plasma in golden hamster's kidney.
As already reported (1-3), the osmolality of the fluid in the ascending limb is hypotonic to that of the fluid in the descending limb of the loop of Henle. These results are compatible with the operation of a countercurrent multiplier system in the thin limbs of the loops of Henle. " c • Š • ¹ • v • EŽROEû OEM • E —é –Ø • î ‰x • E Žðˆä • ¶ " ¿
متن کاملSerine proteases mediate inflammatory pain in acute pancreatitis.
Acute pancreatitis is a life-threatening inflammatory disease characterized by abdominal pain of unknown etiology. Trypsin, a key mediator of pancreatitis, causes inflammation and pain by activating protease-activated receptor 2 (PAR(2)), but the isoforms of trypsin that cause pancreatitis and pancreatic pain are unknown. We hypothesized that human trypsin IV and rat P23, which activate PAR(2) ...
متن کاملMembrane current oscillations in descending vasa recta pericytes.
We investigated the origin of spontaneous transient inward current (STIC) oscillations in descending vasa recta (DVR) pericytes. In cells clamped at -80 mV, angiotensin II (ANG II; 10 nmol/l) induced oscillations with mean amplitude and frequency of -65.5 pA and 1.2 Hz. Simultaneous recording of cytoplasmic calcium ([Ca(2+)](CYT)) and membrane current oscillations verified their synchrony and t...
متن کاملAdenosine signaling in outer medullary descending vasa recta.
We tested whether dilation of outer medullary descending vasa recta (OMDVR) is mediated by cAMP, nitric oxide (NO), and cyclooxygenase (COX). Adenosine (A; 10(-6) M)-induced vasodilation of ANG II (10(-9) M)-preconstricted OMDVR was mimicked by the cAMP analog 8-bromoadenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (10(-10) to 10(-4) M) and reversed by the adenylate cyclase inhibitor SQ-22536. Adenosine (1...
