To examine the origin of increased urinary dopamine excretion (UDAV) during high salt intake, we measured UDAV from the innervated (INN) or the chronically denervated (DEN) kidney in rats fed either a high-salt (HS) or low-salt (LS) diet. UDAV of DEN [3.50 +/- 0.46 ng. min-1.inulin clearance (CIN)-1] and INN (4.00 +/- 0.59 ng. min-1.CIN-1) kidneys in the HS group showed a significant increase compared with that of the respective kidney in the LS group (DEN 1.42 +/- 0.12, INN 1.44 +/- 0.09 ng.min-1.CIN-1), whereas the effect of denervation on UDAV was not significantly different between two groups. We determined aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase (L-AADC) activity and dopamine degradation rate of microdissected proximal convoluted tubules to study the changes in dopamine metabolism. L-AADC activity in the HS group showed a significant increase compared with that in the LS group, although there was no significant change in dopamine degradation rate. We conclude that the increase in UDAV during high salt intake was mainly caused by the enhancement of extraneural dopamine production by the kidney in rats. Dopamine-producing enzyme, but not its degradation in the tubular cells, plays a role in the regulation of extraneural dopamine production.

Increased dietary salt triggers oxidative stress and kidney injury in salt-sensitive hypertension; however, the mechanism for sensing increased extracellular Na+ concentration ([Na+]) remains unclear. A Na+-activated Na+ channel (Na sensor) described in the brain operates as a sensor of extracellular fluid [Na+]; nonetheless, its presence in the kidney has not been established. In the present study, we demonstrated the gene expression of the Na sensor by RT-PCR and Western blotting in the Sprague-Dawley rat kidney. Using immunofluorescence, the Na sensor was localized to the luminal side in tubular epithelial cells of collecting ducts colocalizing with aquaporin-2, a marker of principal cells, and in thick ascending limb, colocalizing with the glycoprotein Tamm-Horsfall. To determine the effect of a high-salt diet (HSD) on Na sensor gene expression, we quantified its transcript and protein levels primarily in renal medullas from control rats and rats subjected to 8% NaCl for 7 days ( n = 5). HSD increased Na sensor expression levels (mRNA: from 1.2 ± 0.2 to 5.1 ± 1.3 au; protein: from 0.98 ± 0.15 to 1.74 ± 0.28 au P < 0.05) in the kidney medulla, but not in the cortex. These data indicate that rat kidney epithelial cells of the thick ascending limb and principal cells of the collecting duct possess a Na sensor that is upregulated by HSD, suggesting an important role in monitoring changes in tubular fluid [Na+].

In low sodium-induced intrauterine growth restricted (IUGR) rat, foetal adrenal steroidogenesis as well as the adult renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system (RAAS) is altered. The aim of the present study was to determine the expression of cytochrome P450 aldosterone synthase (P450aldo) and of angiotensin II receptor subtypes 1 (AT1R) and 2 (AT2R) in adult adrenal glands and whether this expression could be influenced by IUGR and by high-salt intake in a sex-specific manner. After 6 weeks of 0.9% NaCl supplementation, plasma renin activity, P450aldo expression and serum aldosterone levels were decreased in all groups. In males, IUGR induced an increase in AT1R, AT2R, and P450aldo levels, without changes in morphological appearance of the zona glomerulosa (ZG). By contrast, in females, IUGR had no effect on the expression of AT1R, but increased AT2R mRNA while decreasing protein expression of AT2R and P450aldo. In males, salt intake in IUGR rats reduced both AT1R mRNA and protein, while for AT2R, mRNA levels decreased whereas protein expression increased. In females, salt intake reduced ZG size in IUGR but had no affect on AT1R or AT2R expression in either group. These results indicate that, in response to IUGR and subsequently to salt intake, P450aldo, AT1R, and AT2R levels are differentially expressed in males and females. However, despite these adrenal changes, adult IUGR rats display adequate physiological and adrenal responses to high-salt intake, via RAAS inhibition, thus suggesting that extra-adrenal factors likely compensate for ZG alterations induced by IUGR.
