Cyclosporine A inhibits prostaglandin E2 release, and has no effect on renin secretion, from rat renal cortical slices.

Abstract:

:These experiments were designed to test the hypothesis that cyclosporine A (CSA) inhibits renin secretion and stimulates renal prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) release in vitro. In rat renal cortical slices incubated at 37 degrees C in a buffered and oxygenated physiological saline solution containing 4 mM KCl, CSA concentrations ranging from 1 to 30 microM had no significant effect on renin secretion. Furthermore, partial depolarization of the cells, produced by increasing extracellular KCl concentration to 20 mM, failed to reveal any latent inhibitory or stimulatory effects of CSA on renin secretion. On the other hand, PGE2 release was significantly inhibited by CSA over the same range of concentrations. This inhibitory effect might be explained by the previous findings of others, that CSA inhibits phospholipase A2 activity, thereby decreasing arachidonic acid production, the rate-limiting step in PG synthesis. In conclusion, CSA inhibits PGE2 release but fails to affect renin secretion in vitro. These results suggest that the occasional effects of CSA on renin secretion in intact animals must be attributable to indirect and/or chronic effects.
