  • Recently it was suggested that the endogenous adenosine might be the mediator for the intercellular communication in the regulation of tubuloglomerular feedback control and renin release. Even though the previous data showed more important regulatory roles in the renal hemodynamics and renin release for the A1 adenosine receptor, it has not yet been settled down about the functional subclassification of renal adenosine receptors. The purpose of the present experiment was to clarify the importance of the renal adenosine receptors for the regulations of the hemodynamic, excretory and secretory functions. Experiments have been done in unanesthetized rabbits. Intrarenal arterial infusion of A1 adenosine antagonist, 8-phenyltheophylline, $3{\sim}30\;nmole/min$, increased urine flow, renal hemodynamics and urinary excretion of sodium. Intrarenal arterial infusion of Al antagonist, 1-3-diethyl-8-phenylxanthine (DPX), $10{\sim}100\;nmole/min$, increased renal hemodynamics and excretory functions. Non-specific adenosine antagonist, theophylline, $30{\sim}300\;nmole/min$, resulted in dose dependent increases in renal hemodynamics and excretory function. All of the three adenosine antagonists for the increases in renal hemodynamics, excretory and secretory functions was 8-phenyltheophylline > DPX > theophylline. These results suggest that the endogenous adenosine is important for the intrinsic regulatory roles for the renal functions through the adenosine receptors, and that the A1 adenosine receptor is more important than the A2 receptor in the regulation of renal hemodynamics, excretory and renin secretory functions.

  • The present study was designed to quantify the alterations of renal renin, angiotensin type I receptor ($AT_1$), $TGF-{\beta}1$, and fibronectin gene expression in rats with unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO). We also investigated the change of $AT_1$ density during UUO. Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) technique and receptor binding assay were used to detect mRNA expression and receptor density, respectively. At one day after UUO, renin mRNA level of the obstructed kidneys was decreased transiently and then subsequently increased to the level of sham kidneys. In the contralateral kidneys of the same rats, on the contrary, renin mRNA level was gradually decreased. Then, at 9 days after UUO, it was significantly lower than that of sham kidneys. The expressions of both $AT_1$ subtypes, called $AT_{1A}$ and $AT_{1B}$, mRNAs did not change at any time. UUO led to a significant decrease in $AT_1$ density in the obstructed kidneys compared with the sham kidneys at 1 and 3 days $(66\;{\pm}\;11.6%\;(p<0.005)\;and\;73\;{\pm}\;4.0%$ (p<0.01), respectively). Thereafter, $AT_1$ density was gradually increased and at 9 days it showed a marked elevation in the obstructed kidneys compared to the sham kidneys. In contrast, in the contralateral kidneys $AT_1$ density was significantly reduced from 3 to 9 days after UUO. The $TGF-{\beta}$1 mRNA level of the obstructed kidneys was unexpectedly decreased at 6 days after UUO. Then, at 9 days it was followed by a significant increase in the obstructed kidneys, whereas it showed an obvious decrease in the contralateral kidneys. In addition, fibronectin mRNA level was also significantly increased in the obstructed kidneys after UUO compared to the sham or the contralateral kidneys of the same rats. These results suggest a differential regulation of renal renin, $AT_1$ receptor, $TGF-{\beta}$1 and fibronectin mRNA levels at different stages of UUO.

  • The present study was aimed to investigate whether the adriamycin-induced nephrosis is associated with an altered regulation of local renin-angiotensin system (RAS) in the kidney. Rats were subjected to a single injection of adriamycin (2 mg/kg body weight, IV) and kept for 6 weeks to allow the development of nephrosis. They were then divided into two groups, and supplied with and without cilazapril, an angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor, in drinking water (100 mg/l) for additional 6 weeks. Another group without adriamycin-treatment served as control. The mRNA expression of renin, ACE, type 1 and type 2 angiotensin II receptors (AT1R, AT2R), and transforming growth factor $(TGF)-{\beta}1$ was determined in the cortex of the kidney by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. Adriamycin treatment resulted in heavy proteinuria. Accordingly, the mRNA expression of renin, ACE, and AT1R was increased in the renal cortex, while that of AT2R was decreased. Co-treatment with cilazapril attenuated the degree of proteinuria. While not affecting the altered expression of renin, cilazapril decreased the expression of ACE to the control level. Cilazapril further increased the expression of AT1R, while it restored the decreased expression of AT2R. The expression of $(TGF)-{\beta}1$ was increased by the treatment with adriamycin, which was abolished by cilazapril. An altered expression of local RAS components may be causally related with the development of adriamycin-induced nephrosis, in which AT1R is for and AT2R is against the development of nephrosis.

  • Mammalian cardiocytes secrete atrial natriuretic peptides (ANPs) into plasma, which cause marked natriuresis, diuresis, vasorelaxation and inhibition of hormone secretions. Aging influences the ability of the kidney both to conserve and to excrete sodium; i.e., in old animals, the excretory capacity of sodium is reduced and the time required to excrete sodium load is prolonged. Therefore, it is possible that animals differing in ages may respond differently to ANP. In the present study, we determined whether the renal, hormonal and vascular effects of ANP may be influenced by aging in conscious rabbits. The plasma renin concentration decreased with aging but plasma ANP concentration was significantly lower only in 24-month-old rabbits. Plasma aldosterone concentration and atrial ANP content did not change by aging. In 1-month-old rabbits, ANP (atriopeptin III, 3 ug/kg) administered intravenously caused hypotension and decreased in plasma renin and aldosterone concentrations, but did not cause diuresis and natriuresis. In 2 to 5 month-old rabbits, ANP caused hypotension, decreases in Plasma renin and aldosterone concentrations and marked renal effects. However, in 24-month-old rabbits, all the above effects of ANP was blunted. With hydration of physiological saline at a rate of 15 ml/kg/h for 2hr, urine volume and glomerular filtration rate did not change but the electrolyte excretion as well as fractional excretion of sodium significantly increased. The plasma concentrations of active renin and aldosterone were decreased but plasma inactive renin and ANP concentrations were increased. The changes in renal function and plasma level of hormone showed no differences in different ages. These results suggest that the peripheral vascular receptors to ANP may develop earlier than those in the kidney, and the attenuated vascular and renal responses to ANP in the old age may be due to age-related modifications in renal function and blood vessel.

  • 목적 : 고혈압은 뚜렷한 원인을 찾을 수 없는 본태성고혈압과 다른 원인에 의한 이차성 고혈압으로 크게 나눌 수 있다. 이차성 고혈압은 원인 질환을 알고 치료하면 치유가 가능한 고혈압으로써 고혈압 환자 중에서 비교적 흔히 발생되는 것으로 보고되고 있다. 본 연구는 임상에서 원발성 알도스테론증으로 진단된 이차성고혈압 환자군이 알도스테론/레닌의 비율을 산출하였을 때 이 비율이 정상군보다 얼마나 비정상적으로 증가되어 있는지 또한 본태성고혈압 환자군과는 얼마나 차이가 있는지를 알아보고자 한다. 실험재료 및 방법 : 2006년 4월부터 2008년 3월까지 분당 서울대병원에 내원하여 알도스테론과 레닌활성도를 검사한 환자들(n=901)을 대상으로 하였다. 크게 3그룹으로 분류하여 정상군(n=147), 본태성 고혈압환자군(n=709), 원발성 알도스테론증 환자군(n=45)에 대한 알도스테론, 레닌, 알도스테론/레닌의 비율에 대한 평균${\pm}$표준편차를 측정하였고, 각 그룹간 비교분석에서 유의확률(p-value)값을 구하였다. ROC 곡선을 이용하여 알도스테론/레닌 비율의 기준치(Cut off)에 따른 민감도와 특이도를 구하였다. 결과 : 각 그룹간 알도스테론, 레닌, 알도스테론/레닌 비율의 평균${\pm}$표준편차를 비교하여 보았을 때 정상군(n=147)에서는 알도스테론 : $87.40{\pm}52.81$, 레닌 : $3.16{\pm}5.35$, 알도스테론/레닌 비율 : $52.88{\pm}52.46$로 측정되었고, 본태성 고혈압환자군(n=709)에서는 알도스테론 : $132.39{\pm}83.59$, 레닌 : $2.71{\pm}3.37$, 알도스테론/레닌 비율 : $171.04{\pm}291.56$로 측정되었고, 원발성 알도스테론증으로 진단받은 환자군(n=45)에서는 알도스테론 : $342.48{\pm}229.30$, 레닌 : $0.24{\pm}0.29$, 알도스테론/레닌 비율 : $2325.74{\pm}2200.88$로써 상당히 높게 측정되었다. 알도스테론/레닌 비율의 그룹 간 비교에서는 원발성 알도스테론증의 환자 그룹과 정상그룹, 본태성 고혈압환자그룹 사이에서 p<0.001로써 각각 유의한 차이가 있음을 보였고, 원발성 알도스테론증을 선별함에 있어 ROC 곡선상에서 알도스테론/레닌 비율의 기준치는 Cut off : 485일 때 민감도 : 91.1%, 특이도 : 92.4%를 보였다. 결론 : 아직 표준화된 알도스테론/레닌 비율의 기준치가 정립화 되어 있는 것은 아니지만 본 연구를 통해서 원발성 알도스테론증 환자군은 정상군에 비해서 알도스테론/레닌의 비율이 상당히 높게 증가된다는 것을 알 수 있었고 이는 부신선종(adenoma)으로 인해 알도스테론이 만성적으로 과잉 분비되어 억제된 레닌 활성도를 보이는 것을 의미하고 있다. 즉 알도스테론/레닌 비율의 검사는 임상에서 원발성 알도스테론증을 진단함에 있어 임상적으로 유용하게 사용될 수 있을 거라 생각되어진다.

  • 장기적으로 소금 섭취량을 달리 한 정상 및 고혈압쥐에서 atrial natriurectic peptide (ANP) 가 혈압, renin-aldosterone 및 신배설에 미치는 효과를 비교하였다. 생후 6주된 spontaneously hyper-tensive rate (SHR)와 Wistar 숫쥐를 각각 저염, 정상염 및 고염 (2, 10, 25 mmol NaCl/100g diet) 군으로 나누어 실험 식이를 6주동안 먹었다. 실험 당일 아침에 쥐를 ether로 마취시킨 상태에서 대퇴 동맥과 정맥 및 방광에 catheter를 삽입한 다음에 쥐를 restraining cage에 넣어 고정시켰다. 마취가 깨고 혈압이 안정된 후에 정맥관으로 0.9% saline을 0.02ml/min의 속도로 80분간 주입하고 안정시 뇨와 혈액을 채취하였다. 그후 ANP를 380 ng/kg/min의 속도로 20분간 주입하였으며 그동안 10분 간격으로 요를 채취한 다음 채혈하였다. 혈장 aldosterone 농도와 renin 활성도 (PRA)를 방사면역법으로 측정하였다. ANP를 주입하기 전에 SHR 고염군의 평균동맥압은 정사염이나 저염군보다 유의하게 높았으나, Wistar의 혈압은 소금군 사이에서 차이가 없었다. ANP 주입전의 혈장 aldosterone 농도는 소금 섭취량이 많을수록 유의하게 낮았으며, Wistal 군이 SHR 보다 높은 값을 보였다. 혈장 renin 활성도는 소금군 간에 차이가 없었으며, Wistar와 SHR 간에도 차이가 없었다. 요량이나 Na, K 배설률은 소금군 간에 유의한 차이가 없었으나, SHR이 Wistar 보다 높은 경향을 보였다. Hematocrit 값도 소금군 간에 차이가 없었으나, SHR의 값이 Wistar 보다 유의하게 높았다. ANP를 주입하는 동안 혈압이 점진적으로 감소하여 20분후에는 $20{\sim}30\;mmHg$ 정도 감소하였으나, 각 소금군사이에 차이가 없었다. 그러나, ANP에 의한 혈압 강하 정도는 SHR이 Wistar 보다 유의하게 높았다. ANP 주입 후에는 모든 군에서 aldosterone과 혈장 renin 활성도가 유의하게 감소하였는데, aldosterone의 감소 정도는 저염군에서 가장 크게 나타났다. ANP의 이뇨 및 Na 배설 항진효과는 Wistar에서는 소금군 간에 차이가 없었으나, SHR 에서는 고염군의 Na 배설률이 저염군보다 유의하게 높았다. ANP의 혈압강하 효과나 Na 배설 항진효과가 SHR에서 Wistar 보다 유의하게 높게 나타났으나, 이뇨반응, renin 및 hematocrit의 변화에는 차이가 없었다. 이상의 결과에서, 장기적으로 소금 섭취량이 다름에 따라 ANP의 효과 중에서 특히 aldosterone 분비나 SHR의 Na 배설에 차이가 나타났는데 그 작용 기전은 확실치 않다.
