  • * The (pro)renin receptor (PRR), important for sodium reabsorption and blood pressure control, is upregulated in intercalated cells of the collecting duct in 2K1C mice, indicating a connection between reduced blood flow and increased blood pressure.
  • * Experiments reveal that blocking OXGR1 or using OXGR1 knockout mice hampers PRR upregulation in response

Article Abstract

The two-kidney, one-clip (2K1C) Goldblatt rodent model elicits a reduction in renal blood flow (RBF) in the clipped kidney (CK). The reduced RBF and oxygen bio-ability causes the accumulation of the tricarboxylic cycle intermediary, α-ketoglutarate, which activates the oxoglutarate receptor-1 (OXGR1). In the kidney, OXGR1 is abundantly expressed in intercalated cells (ICs) of the collecting duct (CD), thus contributing to sodium transport and electrolyte balance. The (pro)renin receptor (PRR), a member of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS), is a key regulator of sodium reabsorption and blood pressure (BP) that is expressed in ICs. The PRR is upregulated in 2K1C rats. Here, we tested the hypothesis that chronic reduction in RBF in the CK leads to OXGR1-dependent PRR upregulation in the CD and alters sodium balance and BP in 2K1C mice. To determine the role of OXGR1 in regulating the PRR in the CDs during renovascular hypertension, we performed 2K1C Goldblatt surgery (clip = 0.13 mm internal gap, 14 days) in two groups of male mice: (1) mice treated with Montelukast (OXGR1 antagonist; 5 mg/Kg/day); (2) OXGR1 knockout mice. Wild-type and sham-operated mice were used as controls. After 14 days, 2K1C mice showed increased systolic BP (SBP) (108 ± 11 vs. control 82 ± 5 mmHg, < 0.01) and a lower natriuretic response after the saline challenge test. The CK group showed upregulation of erythropoietin, augmented α-ketoglutarate, and increased PRR expression in the renal medulla. The CK of OXGR1 knockout mice and mice subjected to the OXGR1 antagonist elicited impaired PRR upregulation, attenuated SBP, and better natriuretic responses. In 2K1C mice, the effect of reduced RBF on the OXGR1-dependent PRR upregulation in the CK may contribute to the anti-natriuretic and increased SBP responses.

Mannose receptor (MR) is a transmembrane protein and a type of pattern-recognition receptor (PRR) that plays a critical role in the immunity of mammals and fish. In this study, we examined the role of MR in binding with infectious hypodermal and haematopoietic necrosis virus-like particle (IHHN-VLP) and the downstream immune pathway that it triggers in the shrimp Peneaus vannamei. Upon IHHN-VLP challenge, transcripts of MR in P.

Article Synopsis
  • - Epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) plays a crucial role in sodium reabsorption, primarily in the cortical collecting duct, while its activity in the inner medulla is often overlooked.
  • - The (pro)renin receptor (PRR), a new player in the renin-angiotensin system, influences ENaC regulation, specifically by boosting the activity of the α-ENaC subunit in the renal inner medulla.
  • - Soluble PRR (sPRR) enhances ENaC function through mechanisms involving Nox4-derived hydrogen peroxide and is particularly significant during overactivity of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS).
