Abstract
Changes in renal hemodynamics impact renal function during physiological and pathological conditions. In this context, renal vascular resistance (RVR) is regulated by components of the Renin-Angiotensin System (RAS) and the Kallikrein-Kinin System (KKS). However, the interaction between these vasoactive peptides on RVR is still poorly understood. Here, we studied the crosstalk between angiotensin-(1−7) and kinins on RVR. The right kidneys of Wistar rats were isolated and perfused in a closed-circuit system. The perfusion pressure and renal perfusate flow were continuously monitored. Ang-(1−7) (1.0–25.0 nM) caused a sustained, dose-dependent reduction of relative RVR (rRVR). This phenomenon was sensitive to 10 nM A-779, a specific Mas receptor (MasR) antagonist. Bradykinin (BK) promoted a sustained and transient reduction in rRVR at 1.25 nM and 125 nM, respectively. The transient effect was abolished by 4 μM des-Arg9-Leu8-bradykinin (DALBK), a specific kinin B1 receptor (B1R) antagonist. Accordingly, des-Arg9-bradykinin (DABK) 1 μM (a B1R agonist) increased rRVR. Interestingly, pre-perfusion of Ang-(1−7) changed the sustained reduction of rRVR triggered by 1.25 nM BK into a transient effect. On the other hand, pre-perfusion of Ang-(1−7) primed and potentiated the DABK response, this mechanism being sensitive to A-779 and DALBK. Binding studies performed with CHO cells stably transfected with MasR, B1R, and kinin B2 receptor (B2R) showed no direct interaction between Ang-(1−7) with B1R or B2R. In conclusion, our findings suggest that Ang-(1−7) differentially modulates kinin's effect on RVR in isolated rat kidneys. These results help to expand the current knowledge regarding the crosstalk between the RAS and KKS complex network in RVR.
期刊介绍:
Peptides is an international journal presenting original contributions on the biochemistry, physiology and pharmacology of biological active peptides, as well as their functions that relate to gastroenterology, endocrinology, and behavioral effects.
Peptides emphasizes all aspects of high profile peptide research in mammals and non-mammalian vertebrates. Special consideration can be given to plants and invertebrates. Submission of articles with clinical relevance is particularly encouraged.
