肾性高血压大鼠延髓尾端神经元型一氧化氮合酶表达的改变

实验采用免疫组织化学方法观察两肾一夹肾性高血压大鼠延髓尾端两个区域（延髓腹面降压区和尾端加压区）内神经元型一氧化氮合酶（neuronal oxide synthase,nNOS）表达的变化。肾性高血压大鼠延髓尾端这两个区域的nNOS的表达均增加,说明高血压对L-Arg-NO通路活性增强。NO的前体L-Arg能增强nNOS的表达,nNOS抑制剂L-NAME则降低nNOS的表达。以上两个区域nNOS表达变化的特点在肾性高血压4周和7周的动物相同,肾性高血压7周的nNOS表达和4周比较,未见明显差异。

肾性高血压大鼠肥大心肌的力速关系和收缩末...

Renovascular hypertension was induced in rats by left renal artery constriction. Force-velocity relation, end systolic tension-length relation (ESTLR) and responses to high extracellular calcium were investigated in hypertrophied myocardium with 4-week hypertension. The results showed that: (1) The myocardial hypertrophy was accompanied by increased peak active tension, decreased maximal velocity of shortening and prolonged contraction duration (P less than 0.01). (2) The ESTLR in hypertrophied myocardium was similar to that in the control, fitted well by an exponential curve and did not show significant alterations in all its regression parameters (P greater than 0.05). (3) No significant difference about the responses to high extracellular calcium (4 mmol/L) was observed between the control and the hypertrophied myocardium (P greater than 0.05). It is concluded that the mechanical properties of hypertrophied myocardium were characterized by a dissociation between force development and velocity of shortening and possibly these contractile abnormalities at the early stage of cardiac hypertrophy are not related to ability of calcium transport in cardiac plasma membrane. The indexes of myocardial mechanics are more sensitive to changes in contractility of hypertrophied myocardium as compared with the parameters of ESTLR.

Role of nitric oxide synthase activity in experimental ischemic acute renal failure in rats

To determine the role of nitric oxide (NO) in acute renal failure (ARF), we have studied the time course change activities to activity of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) isoform activities, both calcium dependent and independent NOS, in experimental ischemic ARF. We have also analyzed change activities to activity of the NOS activities in both renal cortex and medulla. Male SD rats (n = 5) were inducted to ARF by ischemia-reperfusion injury and divided into the following groups; Control group (sham operation), Day 0 group, (measurement performed on that day of operation), Day 1 group, (measurement performed one day after induction of ARF), Day 3 group and Day 7 group. Measurement of NOS activity was based on the following principles; NO is synthesized from arginine by nitric oxide synthase (NOS) and NO is converted to NO₂ ^–/NO₃ ^– (NOx) by oxidation. Detection of the final metabolite of NO, NOx was done using flow injection method (Griess reaction). The results were, (1) calcium dependent NOS activity in the cortex and medulla decreased, however it increased in the recovery period in the renal cortex (Cortex; Control, 0.941 ± 0.765, D0, 0.382 ± 0.271, D1, 0.118 ± 0.353, D3, 2.030 ± 0.235, D7, 3.588 ± 2.706, Medulla; Control, 1.469 ± 0.531, D0, 0.766 ± 0.156, D1, 0.828 ± 0.187, D3, 2.078 ± 0.094, D7, 1.289 ± 0.313 mol NOx produced/mg protein/30 min). (2) On the other hand, iNOS activity increased in the early phase of ARF, both in the cortex and medulla, but returned to control values during the recovery phase in cortex and was maintained at higher levels in the medulla (Cortex; Control, 0.333 ± 0.250, D0, 0.583 ± 0.428, D1, 1.167 ± 0.262, D3, 0.250 ± 0.077, D7, 0.452 ± 0.292, Medulla; Control, 0.139 ± 0.169, D0, 0.279 ± 0.070, D1, 1.140 ± 0.226, D3, 0.452 ± 0.048, D7, 0.625 ± 0.048 mol NOx produced/mg protein/30 min). These findings suggest that the role of NOS in ARF are different for the different NOS isoforms and have anatomic heterogeneity.     

肾髓质诱导型一氧化氮合酶在动脉血压调控中的作用

Anti-pressor effects of whole body exposure to static magnetic field on pharmacologically induced hypertension in conscious rabbits

Acute effects of whole body exposure to static magnetic field (SMF) on pharmacologically induced hypertension in a conscious rabbit were evaluated. Hypertensive and vasoconstrictive actions were induced by norepinephrine (NE) or a nonselective nitric oxide synthase (NOS) inhibitor, N(omega)-nitro-l-arginine methyl ester (l-NAME). The hemodynamics in a central artery of the ear lobe was measured continuously and analyzed by penetrating microphotoelectric plethysmography (MPPG). Concurrently, blood pressure (BP) changes in a central artery, contralateral to that of the MPPG measured ear lobe, were monitored. Magnetic flux densities were 5.5 mT (Bmax), the magnetic gradient peaked in the throat at the level of approximately 0.09 mT/mm, and the duration of exposure was 30 min. The results demonstrated that under normal physiological conditions without treatment of pharmacological agents, there were no statistically significant differences in the hemodynamics and BP changes between the sham and the SMF exposure alone. Under pharmacologically induced hypertensive conditions, the whole body exposure to nonuniform SMF with peak magnetic gradient in the carotid sinus baroreceptor significantly attenuated the vasoconstriction and suppressed the elevation of BPs. These findings suggest that antipressor effects of the SMF on the hemodynamics under NE or l-NAME induced high vascular tone might be, in part, dependent on modulation of NE mediated response in conjunction with alteration in NOS activity, thereby modulating BPs.

Changes in Autoantibodies against β1-Adrenoceptor and M2-Muscarinic Receptor during Development of Renovascular Hypertension in Rats

In recent years, autoantibodies to β1-adrenoceptor andM2-muscarinic receptor have been successively discoveredin the sera of patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM)[1–3] Iwata et al. [4] found that in a similar protocolwith 6-month myocardial hypertrophy, β1-adrenoceptorreceptor desensitization, increased Gi protein and G pro-tein-coupled receptor kinase-5 expression were in associ-ation with myocyte disorganization and interstitial fibrosis.So far, investigation in this field has focu…     

Evolution of liver antioxidant status and iron implication during the development of deoxycorticosterone-saline hypertension in rats

Hypertension is known to be associated with an oxidative stress resulting from an imbalance of antioxidant defense mechanisms in various tissues. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between the increase of arterial blood pressure, measured during the gradual development of experimental hypertension in deoxycorticosterone (DOCA)-salt-treated rats, and an early imbalance of liver antioxidant status. The levels of liver oxidant/antioxidant markers and iron were studied during the induction of hypertension in 3-, 6-, and 8-wk DOCA-salt-treated Sprague-Dawley rats. Hepatic antioxidant defenses were decreased as early as 3 wk of hypertensive treatment: the decrease of peroxidase-reductase-transferase and catalase activities was associated with a significant increase of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) levels. Liver oxidative stress increased until 6 wk, and remained stable at 8 wk of DOCA-salt treatment. Concurrently, liver iron levels were increased at 6 wk and returned to normal values after 8 wk of hypertensive treatment. Iron seems to be an inductor of liver oxidative stress and responsible for the persistent oxidative stress, most likely through secondary free-radical release. Thus, our data (1) confirm that hypertension in DOCA-salt-treated rats might be a free-radical-dependent disease where hepatic oxidant/antioxidant imbalance is obviously involved from the beginning of blood pressure elevation and (2) suggest that the use of suitable iron chelators might reverse liver oxidative stress associated with the increase of blood pressure.     

Role of the monocyte chemoattractant protein-1/C-C chemokine receptor 2 signaling pathway in transient receptor potential vanilloid type 1 ablation-induced renal injury in salt-sensitive hypertension

Our recent studies indicate that the transient receptor potential vanilloid type 1 (TRPV1) channel may act as a potential regulator of monocyte/macrophage recruitment to reduce renal injury in salt-sensitive hypertension. This study tests the hypothesis that deletion of TRPV1 exaggerates salt-sensitive hypertension-induced renal injury due to enhanced inflammatory responses via monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1)/C-C chemokine receptor 2 (CCR2)-dependent pathways. Wild type (WT) and TRPV1-null mutant (TRPV1^−/−) mice were subjected to uninephrectomy and deoxycorticosterone acetate (DOCA)-salt treatment for four weeks with or without the selective CCR2 antagonist, RS504393. DOCA-salt treatment increased systolic blood pressure (SBP) to the same degree in both strains, but increased urinary excretion of albumin and 8-isoprostane and decreased creatinine clearance with greater magnitude in TRPV1^−/− mice compared to WT mice. DOCA-salt treatment also caused renal glomerulosclerosis, tubulointerstitial injury, collagen deposition, monocyte/macrophage infiltration, proinflammatory cytokine and chemokine production, and NF-κB activation in greater degree in TRPV1^−/− mice compared to WT mice. Blockade of the CCR2 with RS504393 (4 mg/kg/day) had no effect on SBP in DOCA-salt-treated WT or TRPV1^−/− mice compared to their respective controls. However, treatment with RS504393 ameliorated renal dysfunction and morphological damage, and prevented the increase in monocyte/macrophage infiltration, cytokine/chemokine production, and NF-κB activity in both DOCA-salt hypertensive strains with a greater effect in DOCA-salt-treated TRPV1^−/− mice compared to DOCA-salt-treated WT mice. No differences in CCR2 protein expression in kidney were found between DOCA-salt-treated WT and TRPV1^−/− mice with or without RS504393 treatment. Our studies for the first time indicate that deletion of TRPV1 aggravated renal injury in salt-sensitive hypertension via enhancing MCP-1/CCR2 signaling-dependent inflammatory responses.
