Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:Secondary activation of the renin-angiotensin system plays a major role in the progression of chronic nephropathies, and blockade of endothelin (ET) receptors has been shown to confer nephroprotection in experimental models of proteinuric renal disease. We tested the nephroprotective potential of selective endothelin A receptor (ETA) and non-selective ETA and endothelin B (ETA/B) receptor blockade in the TGR(mRen2)27 transgenic rat model with renin-dependent hypertension (Ren2). DESIGN:Ren2 animals were treated between 10 and 30 weeks of age with the selective ETA receptor antagonist darusentan (Ren2-ETA) and the ETA/B receptor antagonist Lu420627 (Ren2-ETA/B), and compared with transgene negative Sprague-Dawley (SD) controls. Since the elevated systolic blood pressure in Ren2 was not affected in either Ren2-ETA or Ren2-ETA/ETB, an additional Ren-2 group was treated with a non-antihypertensive dose of the angiotensin II type 1 receptor blocker eprosartan (Ren2-AT1). RESULTS:During the 20-week observation period 35% of untreated Ren2, 30% of Ren2-ETA/B, 50% of Ren2-ETA, and 83% of Ren2-AT1 animals survived compared with 100% of SD rats. Renal endothelin-1 mRNA expression and proteinuria (4.1-fold) were significantly elevated in Ren2 compared with SD rats (P < 0.05, respectively). Proteinuria was normalized to SD control levels in Ren2-AT1 (P < 0.05) but increased further in Ren2-ETA (7.7-fold) and Ren2-ETA/B (15-fold) (P < 0.05, respectively). Glomerulosclerosis, tubulointerstitial damage and renal osteopontin mRNA expression were reduced in Ren2-AT1 (P < 0.05, respectively) but remained unchanged or increased further in Ren2-ETA and Ren2-ETA/B compared with Ren2. CONCLUSION:ET receptor blockade fails to improve renal damage and mortality in primary renin-dependent hypertension.
