Role of bradykinin in renoprotective effects by angiotensin II type 1 receptor antagonist in salt-sensitive hypertension.

چکیده
To elucidate whether bradykinin is involved in the renoprotective effect produced by angiotensin II type 1 receptor antagonist (AT1A) in chronic salt-sensitive hypertension, Dahl salt-sensitive rats receiving a high-salt (8%) diet were treated either with an AT1A (candesartan, 1 mg/kg/day), a bradykinin B2 receptor antagonist (BKB2A; FR172357, 30 mg/kg/day) or a combination of AT1A and BKB2A for 7 weeks. None of the treatments changed the markedly increased systolic blood pressure induced by a high-salt diet. However, chronic treatment with AT1A significantly improved the histological hallmarks of renal damage-i.e., glomerular sclerosis and cell proliferation-despite the presence of severe hypertension. This beneficial action of AT1A was abolished by the concomitant administration of BKB2A. In agreement with these histologically based findings, increases in levels of creatinine clearance induced by AT1A were also reversed back to the basal levels when BKB2A was administered in conjunction with AT1A. Furthermore, urinary excretions of nitrate plus nitrite and prostaglandin E2 increased moderately in response to the administration of AT1A alone, but not in combination with BKB2A. Thus, the blockade of bradykinin signaling abrogates the renoprotective actions of the angiotensin II type 1 (AT1) receptor antagonism. Collectively, these data show that when AT1 action is chronically blocked, endogenous bradykinin plays a pivotal role in preventing the progression of glomerular injury in salt-sensitive hypertension.

Introduction: Renin angiotensin system has an important role in blood pressure and renal functions. Active angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 converts angiotensin I into angiotensin-(1-7) which is a vasodilator hormone and interacts with nitric oxide changes as well as other angiotensin II receptors. In this study we evaluated the role of Mas receptor antagonist (A779) and renal perfusion press...

The angiotensin II (Ang II)-Ang II type 1 receptor pathway is proangiogenic, whereas studies showed that some angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors also stimulate angiogenesis in the setting of tissue ischemia, leaving a controversy of Ang II-mediated angiogenesis. We investigated whether an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor imidapril-induced angiogenesis might be mediated via the tiss...

Transcription factor E26 transformation-specific sequence-1 (ETS-1) is a transcription factor that regulates the expression of a variety of genes, including growth factors, chemokines, and adhesion molecules. We recently demonstrated that angiotensin II increases the glomerular expression of ETS-1 and that blockade of ETS-1 ameliorates the profibrotic and proinflammatory effects of angiotensin ...

Background: Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) upregulation in stromal cells of joints affected by rheumatoid arthritis may lead to higher tissue angiotensin II that is a vasoconstrictor and mitogen factor. To date, the role of angiotensin II on regulating blood flow in inflamed joints has not been studied. Methods: Acute and chronic joint inflammation was induced in rabbits by intra-articular...
