Enhanced Angiotensin Receptor-Associated Protein in Renal Tubule Suppresses Angiotensin-Dependent Hypertension [Kidney]
We have previously shown that angiotensin II type 1 receptor-associated protein (ATRAP/Agtrap) interacts with the angiotensin II type 1 receptor and promotes constitutive internalization of the receptor so as to inhibit the pathological activation of its downstream signaling but preserve baseline physiological signaling activity. The present study was designed to investigate the role of renal ATRAP in angiotensin II–dependent hypertension. We generated transgenic mice dominantly expressing ATRAP in the renal tubules, including renal distal tubules. The renal ATRAP transgenic mice exhibited no significant change in bl...

Angiotensin II Stimulates Basolateral 10-pS Cl Channels in the Thick Ascending Limb [Kidney]
Chloride channels in the basolateral membrane play a key role in Cl absorption in the thick ascending limb (TAL). The patch-clamp experiments were performed to test whether angiotensin II (AngII) increases Cl absorption in the TAL by stimulating the basolateral 10-pS Cl channels. AngII (1–100 nmol/L) stimulated the 10-pS Cl channel in the TAL, an effect that was blocked by losartan (angiotension AT1 receptor [AT1R] antagonist) but not by PD123319 (angiotension AT2 receptor [AT2R] antagonist). Inhibition of phospholipase C or protein kinase C also abolished the stimulatory effect of AngII on Cl channels. Moreover, sti...

Proximal Tubule Angiotensin AT2 Receptors Mediate an Anti-Inflammatory Response via Interleukin-10: Role in Renoprotection in Obese Rats [Kidney]
The angiotensin type 2 receptor (AT2R) has been shown to lower inflammation in the kidney. However, the role of the anti-inflammatory cytokine interleukin (IL)-10 in AT2R-mediated attenuation of inflammation has not been elucidated. We hypothesized that AT2R activation is renoprotective by directly increasing the levels of anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 in the kidney via nitric oxide (NO) signaling. For in vitro studies, the human proximal tubule epithelial cell-line (human kidney-2 [HK-2]) was activated with lipopolysaccharide (10 μg/mL) and AT2R agonist C21 (1 μmol/L) for 24 hours, and media cytokine levels were ...

Association of Smoking With Phenotype at Diagnosis and Vascular Interventions in Patients With Renal Artery Fibromuscular Dysplasia [Kidney]
In conclusion, current smoking is associated with a higher likelihood of renal artery FMD diagnosis. Rather than a higher incidence of FMD, this may reflect a more aggressive course in smokers, who have earlier hypertension leading to increased and earlier recognition of the disease. Smoking cessation should be strongly encouraged in patients with FMD. (Source: Hypertension)

Tumor necrosis factor-{alpha}: regulation of renal function and blood pressure
Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) is a pleiotropic cytokine that becomes elevated in chronic inflammatory states such as hypertension and diabetes and has been found to mediate both increases and decreases in blood pressure. High levels of TNF-α decrease blood pressure, whereas moderate increases in TNF-α have been associated with increased NaCl retention and hypertension. The explanation for these disparate effects is not clear but could simply be due to different concentrations of TNF-α within the kidney, the physiological status of the subject, or the type of stimulus initiating the inflammat...

Sisters in arms: myeloid and tubular epithelial cells shape renal innate immunity
The importance of innate immunity for survival is underscored by its presence at almost every level of the evolutionary tree of life. The task of "danger" recognition by the innate immune system is carried out by a broad class of pattern recognition receptors. These receptors are expressed in both hematopoietic and nonhematopoietic cells such as renal epithelial cells. Upon activation, pattern recognition receptors induce essentially two types of defensive responses: inflammation and phagocytosis. In this review, we highlight evidence that renal epithelial cells are endowed with such defensive capabilities and as such full...

The emerging role of MRI in quantitative renal glomerular morphology
Techniques to measure morphological parameters, such as glomerular (and thereby nephron) number, glomerular size, and kidney volume, have been vital to understanding factors contributing to chronic kidney disease (CKD). These techniques have also been important to understanding the associations between CKD and other systemic and cardiovascular diseases and have led to the identification of developmental risk factors for these pathologies. However, existing techniques in quantitative kidney morphology are resource- and time-consuming and are destructive to the organ. This review discusses the emerging generation of techniqu...

Dose-dependent effects of angiotensin-(1-7) on the NHE3 exchanger and [Ca2+]i in in vivo proximal tubules
The acute direct action of angiotensin-(1–7) [ANG-(1–7)] on bicarbonate reabsorption (JHCO3–) was evaluated by stationary microperfusions on in vivo middle proximal tubules in rats using H ion-sensitive microelectrodes. The control JHCO3– is 2.82 ± 0.078 nmol·cm–2·s–1 (50). ANG-(1–7) (10–12 or 10–9 M) in luminally perfused tubules decreases JHCO3– (36 or 60%, respectively), but ANG-(1–7) (10–6 M) increases it (80%). A779 increases JHCO3– (30%) and prevents both the inhibitory and the stimulatory effects of ANG-(1–7) on ...

MiRNA-200b represses transforming growth factor-{beta}1-induced EMT and fibronectin expression in kidney proximal tubular cells
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) comprise of a novel class of endogenous small noncoding RNAs that frequently downregulate the expression of target genes. Recent reports suggest that miRNA-200b prevents epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in cancer cells by targeting the E-box binding transcription factors Zinc finger E-box-binding homeobox 1 (ZEB1) and Zinc finger E-box-binding homeobox 2 (ZEB2). About 35% of active fibroblasts are derived from EMT which is central to the development of progressive renal fibrosis. Hence, this study was designed to assess the effect of miRNA-200b on transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β1)...

Reduction of oxidative stress during recovery accelerates normalization of primary cilia length that is altered after ischemic injury in murine kidneys
The primary cilium is a microtubule-based nonmotile organelle that extends from the surface of cells, including renal tubular cells. Here, we investigated the alteration of primary cilium length during epithelial cell injury and repair, following ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) insult, and the role of reactive oxygen species in this alteration. Thirty minutes of bilateral renal ischemia induced severe renal tubular cell damage and an increase of plasma creatinine (PCr) concentration. Between 8 and 16 days following the ischemia, the increased PCr returned to normal range, although without complete histological restoration. Comp...

Aquaporin 11 insufficiency modulates kidney susceptibility to oxidative stress
Aquaporin 11 (AQP11) is a newly described member of the protein family of transport channels. AQP11 associates with the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and is highly expressed in proximal tubular epithelial cells in the kidney. Previously, we identified and characterized a recessive mutation of the highly conserved Cys227 to Ser227 in mouse AQP11 that caused proximal tubule (PT) injury and kidney failure in mutant mice. The current study revealed induction of ER stress, unfolded protein response, and apoptosis as molecular mechanisms of this PT injury. Cys227Ser mutation interfered with maintenance of AQP11 oligomeric structure...

Neonatal hyperoxia: effects on nephrogenesis and long-term glomerular structure
Preterm neonates are born while nephrogenesis is ongoing and are commonly exposed to factors in the extrauterine environment that may impair renal development. Supplemental oxygen therapy exposes the preterm infant to a hyperoxic environment that may induce oxidative stress. Our aim was to determine the immediate and long-term effects of exposure to hyperoxia, during the period of postnatal nephrogenesis, on renal development. Newborn mice (C57BL/6J) were kept in a normoxic (room air, 21% oxygen) or a controlled hyperoxic (65% oxygen) environment from birth to postnatal day 7 (P7d). From P7d, animals were maintained in roo...

Endothelial plasticity governs the site‐specific leukocyte recruitment in hepatocellular cancer
Abstract The correct programming of the endothelial cell phenotype is crucial for efficient leukocyte recruitment to tumor tissue. It has been previously described that T cells infiltrated hepatocellular cancer (HCC) tissue mainly in peritumoral, stromal and tumor border areas. In the current study, phenotype features of tumor endothelial cells and their potential impact on leukocyte recruitment were analyzed in murine tissue of hepatocellular cancer. In the murine model, pro‐inflammatory stimulation with IL‐1β induced leukocyte recruitment in the blood vessels of peripheral tumor areas and in non‐malignant liver ti...
