Direct assessment of tubuloglomerular feedback responsiveness in connexin 40-deficient mice.
Participation of connexin 40 (Cx40) in the regulation of renin secretion and in the tubuloglomerular feedback (TGF) component of renal autoregulation suggests that gap junctional coupling through Cx40 contributes to the function of the juxtaglomerular apparatus. In the present experiments, we determined the effect of targeted Cx40 deletion in C57BL/6 and FVB mice on TGF responsiveness. In C57BL...
متن کاملConnexin 40 mediates the tubuloglomerular feedback contribution to renal blood flow autoregulation.
Connexins are important in vascular development and function. Connexin 40 (Cx40), which plays a predominant role in the formation of gap junctions in the vasculature, participates in the autoregulation of renal blood flow (RBF), but the underlying mechanisms are unknown. Here, Cx40-deficient mice (Cx40-ko) had impaired steady-state autoregulation to a sudden step increase in renal perfusion pre...

In these experiments, we used a strain of angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) germline null mutant mice, generated by J. H. Krege and co-workers (J. H. Krege, S. W. M. John, L. L. Langenbach, J. B. Hodgin, J. R. Hagaman, E. S. Bachman, J. C. Jennette, D. A. O'Brien, and O. Smithies. Nature 375: 146-148, 1995), to examine the effect of chronic ACE deficiency on the magnitude of tubuloglomerular ...
متن کاملEnhanced tubuloglomerular feedback in Cyp1a1-Ren2 transgenic rats with inducible ANG II-dependent malignant hypertension.
The present study was performed to evaluate tubuloglomerular feedback responses in transgenic rats [TGR(Cypa1a1Ren2)] with inducible malignant hypertension and to determine the degree to which feedback responsiveness is modulated by ANG II in these rats. Male Cyp1a1-Ren2 rats were fed a normal diet containing the aryl hydrocarbon indole-3-carbinol (I3C; 0.3%), for 5-6 days to stimulate expressi...
متن کاملTubuloglomerular feedback and renin secretion in NTPDase1/CD39-deficient mice.
Studies in mice with null mutations of adenosine 1 receptor or ecto-5'-nucleotidase genes suggest a critical role of adenosine and its precursor 5'-AMP in tubulovascular signaling. To assess whether the source of juxtaglomerular nucleotides can be traced back to ATP dephosphorylation, experiments were performed in mice with a deficiency in NTPDase1/CD39, an ecto-ATPase catalyzing the formation ...
