Background: Glomerular hyperfiltration (GH) is an important mechanism in the development of albuminuria in hypertension. Upregulation of COX2 (cyclooxygenase 2) and prostaglandin E (PGE) was linked to podocyte damage in GH. We explored the potential renoprotective effects of either separate or combined pharmacological blockade of EP2 (PGE receptor type 2) and EP4 (PGE receptor type 4) in GH.
Methods: We conducted in vivo studies in a transgenic zebrafish model () suitable for analysis of glomerular filtration barrier function and a genetic rat model with GH, albuminuria, and upregulation of PGE. Similar pharmacological interventions and primary outcome analysis on albuminuria phenotype development were conducted in both model systems.
Results: Stimulation of zebrafish embryos with PGE induced an albuminuria-like phenotype, thus mimicking the suggested PGE effects on glomerular filtration barrier dysfunction. Both separate and combined blockade of EP2 and EP4 reduced albuminuria phenotypes in zebrafish and rat models. A significant correlation between albuminuria and podocyte damage in electron microscopy imaging was identified in the rat model. Dual blockade of both receptors showed a pronounced synergistic suppression of albuminuria. Importantly, this occurred without changes in arterial blood pressure, glomerular filtration rate, or tissue oxygenation in magnetic resonance imaging, while RNA sequencing analysis implicated a potential role of circadian clock genes.
Conclusions: Our findings confirm a role of PGE in the development of albuminuria in GH and support the renoprotective potential of combined pharmacological blockade of EP2 and EP4 receptors. These data support further translational research to explore this therapeutic option and a possible role of circadian clock genes.
