Abstract:

Background and purpose: Chronic kidney disease is among the common diseases in the world. Studies show that women are more protected against renal diseases compared to men. On the other hand, vasodilatory axises of renin angiotensin system (angiotensin 1-7 (Ang 1-7)- Mas receptor (MasR)), kallikrein-kinin, and nitric oxide (NO) play key roles in kidney function and circulation in females. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine the effect of bradykinin in renal blood flow (RBF) response to Ang 1-7 when MasR was blocked in female rats. Materials and methods: Female Wistar rats were divided into three groups (control, Bradykinine, and Bradykinin + MasR antagonist (A779)). The animals were anesthetized and catheterized in the carotid and femoral arteries and jugular vein to measure mean arterial pressure (MAP), renal perfusion pressure (RPP), and drug administration, respectively. The left kidney was exposed (in situ) and placed in a kidney cup to measure RBF. After the equilibration period, A779 and bradykinin (50 μg/kg/h, 150 μg/kg/h, respectively) were injected and vascular responses to Ang1-7 (100, 300, and 1000 ng kg−1min−1) infusion were determined. At the end of the experiment, blood samples were collected for measuring the level of nitrite. Results: The MAP and RPP were not significantly different between the three groups. Bradykinin exhibited vasodilatory effect on RBF in response to Ang 1-7 in female rats, however, A779 administration increased RBF at low dose of Ang 1-7(Pdose=0.001). The serum level of nitrite significantly decreased when the MasR was blocked (P= 0.04). Conclusion: Bradykinin enhanced RBF response to Ang 1-7 infusion. The effect of bradykinin on RBF response to Ang 1-7 may be modulated via the NO pathway. Interaction of these factors might help to broaden our vision for treatment strategy in future.

The Role of Mas Receptor and Bradykinin on Nitric Oxide Production Response to Angiotensin 1-7 in Ovariectomized Rats Treated with Estradiol

Introduction: The angiotensin 1-7 (Ang1-7) Mas receptor (MasR) axis, bradykinin (BK) and female sex hormone are involved in releasing of vasodilatory biomarkers including Nitric Oxide (NO). We examined the role of MasR and BK on NO metabolite (nitrite) production response to Ang 1-7 infusion in ovariectomized rats treated with estradiol. Methods: A total of 48 female Wistar rats were divided i...

role of mas receptor in renal blood flow response to angiotensin-(1-7) in ovariectomized estradiol treated rats

the angiotensin 1-7 (ang 1-7), is abundantly produced in kidneys and antagonizes the function of angiotensin ii through mas receptor (masr) or other unknown mechanisms. in the current study, the role of masr and steroid hormone estrogen on renal blood flow response to ang 1-7 administration was investigated in ovariectomized (ov) female rats. ov female wistar-rats received estradiol (500 µg/kg/...

The effects of Mas receptor antagonist (A779) and renal perfusion pressure on serum nitrite concentration in male and female rats when angiotensin II receptors 1 & 2 were blocked

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...

Heteromerization Between the Bradykinin B2 Receptor and the Angiotensin-(1-7) Mas Receptor: Functional Consequences.

Bradykinin B2 receptor (B2R) and angiotensin-(1-7) Mas receptor (MasR)-mediated effects are physiologically interconnected. The molecular basis for such cross talk is unknown. It is hypothesized that the cross talk occurs at the receptor level. We investigated B2R-MasR heteromerization and the functional consequences of such interaction. B2R fused to the cyan fluorescent protein and MasR fused ...
