The influence of physiological increments in circulating atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) on renin release was determined in conscious dogs. Renin stimulus-response curves (RSRCs) were obtained by controlled reductions of renal perfusion pressure (RPP) under control conditions and during intrarenal or intravenous ANP infusions. Under all experimental conditions, the RSRCs were characterized by a plateau, a threshold pressure (Pth), and a steep slope below Pth. Intrarenal ANP infusion (0.9 ng.kg-1.min-1), which induced a calculated threefold elevation of renal arterial ANP concentration (but did not change systemic arterial ANP levels), increased the slope of the RSRC by 81% (P less than 0.05) with no effect on Pth. A quantitatively similar effect on the slope of the RSRC (+90%; P less than 0.05) was observed when systemic ANP levels were raised (from 37 +/- 2 to 71 +/- 9 pg/ml; P less than 0.05) by intravenous infusions (3.6 ng.kg-1.min-1). In addition, however, intravenously infused ANP reduced Pth from 91 to 85 mmHg (P less than 0.05), which caused a complete suppression of the renin response to a reduction of RPP down to 85 mmHg. These findings indicate that ANP can inhibit renin release at physiological plasma concentrations by shifting the RSRC to a lower pressure level; this shift is mediated by a modulation of extrarenal renin control mechanisms. The direct effect of ANP on renin release is one of stimulation.

(Pro)renin receptor (PRR) contains overlapping cleavage site for site-1 protease (S1P) and furin for generation of soluble PRR (sPRR). Although S1P-mediated cleavage mediates the release of sPRR, the functional implication of furin-mediated cleavage is unclear. Here we tested whether furin-mediated cleavage was required for the activity of sPRR in activating ENaC in cultured M-1 cells.

Obesity is a rapidly growing health problem worldwide, affecting both adults and children and increasing the risk of chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension and cardiovascular disease (CVD). In addition, obesity is closely linked to chronic kidney disease (CKD) by either exacerbating diabetic complications or directly causing kidney damage. Obesity-related CKD is characterized by proteinuria, lipid accumulation, fibrosis and glomerulosclerosis, which can gradually impair kidney function.

Drug development for human disease relies on preclinical model systems such as human cell cultures and animal experiments before therapeutic treatments can ultimately be tested on humans in clinical studies. We here describe the generation of a novel human cell line (HLMVEC/SVTERT289) that we generated by transfection of microvascular endothelial cells from healthy donor lung tissue with the catalytic domain of telomerase and the SV40 large T/small t-antigen. These cells exhibited satisfactory growth characteristics and largely maintained their native characteristics, including morphology, cell surface marker expression, angiogenic potential and the protein composition of secreted extracellular vesicles.

Resistant hypertension is defined as office blood pressure >140/90 mm Hg with a mean 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure of >130/80 mm Hg in patients who are compliant with 3 or more antihypertensive medications. Those who persistently fail pharmaceutical therapy may benefit from interventional treatment, such as renal denervation. Sympathetic nervous activity in the kidney is a known contributor to increased blood pressure because it results in efferent and afferent arteriole vasoconstriction, reduced renal blood flow, increased sodium and water reabsorption, and the release of renin.

Sodium thiosulfate (STS), a precursor of hydrogen sulfide (HS), has demonstrated antihypertensive properties. Previous studies have suggested that HS-based interventions can prevent hypertension in pediatric chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, the clinical application of STS is limited by its rapid release and intravenous administration.
