Stimulation of soluble guanylate cyclase accelerates renal recovery following relief of unilateral ureteral obstruction
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background Unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) is characterized by progressive renal atrophy, tubular apoptosis and tubulointerstitial fibrosis. Pharmacological stimulation of soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC) and subsequent cGMP production have recently been found to be renoprotective. In this study, the sGC stimulator BAY 41-8543 was given to rats after relief of UUO in order to analyze the effects of enhanced NO/sGC/cGMP signaling on the subsequent renal disease recovery, concerning the renal atrophy, tubular apoptosis and tubulointerstitial fibrosis.

Unilateral ureteral obstruction increases glomerular soluble guanylyl cyclase activity.
RBF and GFR are decreased in kidneys after ipsilateral unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) for 24 h. Despite net vasoconstriction, vasodilatory mechanisms respond to counterbalance the vasoconstriction: the inhibition of nitric oxide synthase activity is associated with a greater reduction in RBF with ipsilateral UUO. To determine whether the stimulation of soluble guanylyl cyclase differs be...
متن کاملBreviscapine prevents downregulation of renal water and sodium transport proteins in response to unilateral ureteral obstruction
Objective(s):Our recent report indicates that breviscapine play a protective role of the kidney by down-regulating transforming growth factor-β1(TGF-β1), α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) and alleviating interstitial fibrosis following unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO). In this study, we investigate the effect of breviscapine on changes of renal water and sodium transport proteins in response t...
متن کاملRenin-angiotensin system and unilateral ureteral obstruction
Unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) is a clinical scenario that leads to obstructive nephropathy. UUO alters the expression of many mediators in the ipsilateral kidney. Renin-angiotensin system (RAS) is involved in UUO. Angiotensin II (Ang II) and angiotensin 1-7 (Ang 1-7) as the main arms of RAS influence kidney function which may alter by UUO. Ang II via Ang II receptor subtypes I (AT1R) ...

flow. Losartan is angiotensin II receptor I (AT1) antagonist and is used for treatment of congestive heart failure and hypertension. It is widely recognized that Losartan has organ protective nature and most effective for organ damage progressing. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of Losartan on apoptosis in renal tissue after unilateral ureteral obstruction in rat. Materials and...

Introduction & Objective: Comparative reductase inhibitors, such as simvastatin increase HDL-cholestrol and decrease serum triglyceride and cholesterol. It is widely recognized that statins have organ protective nature and most effective for organ damage progressing. Obstructive uropathy can be used to indicate any obstruction to urinary flow which causes a developing of hydronephrosis, tubul...
