The relationship between the renal renin-angiotensin aldosterone system (RAAS) and cardiorenal pathophysiology is unclear. Our aims were to assess 1) levels of urinary RAAS components and 2) the association between RAAS components and HbA1c, the urine albumin/creatinine ratio (ACR), estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), and blood pressure (BP) in otherwise healthy adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus (TID) vs. healthy controls (HC). Urinary angiotensinogen and angtionsin-converting enzyme (ACE) 2 levels, activity of ACE and ACE2, BP, HbA1c, ACR, and eGFR were measured in 65 HC and 194 T1D from the Adolescent Type 1 Diabetes Cardio-Renal Intervention Trial (AdDIT). Urinary levels of all RAAS components were higher in T1D vs. HC ( P < 0.0001). Higher HbA1c was associated with higher urinary angiotensinogen, ACE2, and higher activity of ACE and ACE2 ( P < 0.0001, P = 0.0003, P = 0.003, and P = 0.007 respectively) in T1D. Higher ACR (within the normal range) was associated with higher urinary angiotensinogen ( P < 0.0001) and ACE activity ( P = 0.007), but not with urinary ACE2 activity or ACE2 levels. These observations were absent in HC. Urinary RAAS components were not associated with BP or eGFR in T1D or HC. Otherwise healthy adolescents with T1D exhibit higher levels of urinary RAAS components compared with HC. While levels of all urinary RAAS components correlate with HbA1c in T1D, only urinary angiotensinogen and ACE activity correlate with ACR, suggesting that these factors reflect an intermediary pathogenic link between hyperglycemia and albuminuria within the normal range.

e17069 Background: In the last decade, the relationship between arterial hypertension and the risk of developing kidney cancer has been pointed out. Some studies have shown that the metabolic imbalance of the components of the renal renin-angiotensin system (RAS) is associated with the development and progression of kidney cancer. Aim: To study the state of RAS in tumor and peritumoral tissues in hypertensive patients with kidney cancer. Methods: In patients with localized kidney cancer T1N0M0 and grade I-II arterial hypertension without special treatment (n = 40; KC + AH) in the samples of tumor (TT), peritumoral (PTT) and histologically unchanged tissue (HUT), the levels of angiotensin 1 and 2, 1-7 (AT1 and AT2, AT (1-7)) of angiotensin-converting enzymes (ACE and ACE2) were determined by ELISA. The comparison group consisted of patients with RC without impaired blood pressure (n = 55, KC). Results: In patients with KC, the level of AT1 is 1.5 times higher (p < 0.05), and AT2 is 1.6 times higher (p < 0.05) in TT against the background of unchanged content in PTT compared with HUT. The level of ACE is higher than HUT by 2.7 times, ACE2 - by 1.6 times (in all cases p < 0.05), and in PTT it is identical in HUT. In patients with KC + AH, the level of AT1 and AT2 in the TT is 1.8 times higher (p < 0.05) and 2.1 times (p < 0.01), respectively, the content of AT(1-7) is 1.6 times (p < 0.01). In PTT, AT1 is 1.6 times higher (p < 0.01) and AT2 is 1.9 times higher (p < 0.05), significantly lower than only AT2 in the TT (1.2 times at p < 0, 05). The level of AT(1-7) in the PTT is identical to the values in the GNT. The content of ACE and ACE2 in TT is 3.6 and 2.9 times higher, respectively, and in PTT is identical to that in TT. Correlation analysis revealed a reliable direct relationship in the studied groups for all parameters, while in the PTT of hypertensive patients, the relationship between the average blood pressure and the RAS peptide content had a higher tightness. Conclusions: An increase in the levels of angiotensin 1 and 2, angiotensin-converting enzymes ACE and ACE2 in the tumor tissues and peritumoral tissue in patients with localized kidney cancer, regardless of the presence of arterial hypertension at initially higher values in hypertensive patients, was shown. The presence of arterial hypertension in patients with KC changes the metabolism of local RAS in peritumoral tissue and is associated with an increase in the correlation between changes in the components of RAS and arterial hypertension.

Despite tremendous research efforts, hypertension remains an epidemic health concern, leading often to the development of cardiovascular disease. It is well established that in many instances, the brain plays an important role in the onset and progression of hypertension via activation of the sympathetic nervous system. Further, the activity of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) and of glial cell-mediated proinflammatory processes have independently been linked to this neural control and are, as a consequence, both attractive targets for the development of antihypertensive therapeutics. Although it is clear that the predominant effector peptide of the RAS, ANG II, activates its type-1 receptor on neurons to mediate some of its hypertensive actions, additional nuances of this brain RAS control of blood pressure are constantly being uncovered. One of these complexities is that the RAS is now thought to impact cardiovascular control, in part, via facilitating a glial cell-dependent proinflammatory milieu within cardiovascular control centers. Another complexity is that the newly characterized antihypertensive limbs of the RAS are now recognized to, in many cases, antagonize the prohypertensive ANG II type 1 receptor (AT1R)-mediated effects. That being said, the mechanism by which the RAS, glia, and neurons interact to regulate blood pressure is an active area of ongoing research. Here, we review the current understanding of these interactions and present a hypothetical model of how these exchanges may ultimately regulate cardiovascular function.

Context: The effect of glycemic control on persisting albuminuria remains unclear. Insulin delivery and glucose variability may be important. Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effect of 1-year treatment with sensor-augmented insulin pump (SAP) or multiple daily injections (MDIs) on albuminuria. Design, Patients, and Methods: This was a randomized controlled open-label parallel trial composed of 60 patients with type 1 diabetes with a history of albuminuria and on stable renin-angiotensin system inhibition, were randomly assigned to SAP or MDI. Urine albumin creatinine ratio (UACR) was measured in three urine samples at all visits. Glucose variability and glomerular filtration rate (51Cr-EDTA-GFR) were measured at beginning and study end. Using linear mixed model, change in UACR between groups was analyzed as intention to treat. Main Outcome Measure: Change in UACR was measured. Results: Fifty-five patients (SAP, n = 26; MDI, n = 29) completed the study. Diabetes duration (mean ± SD, 33 ± 12 y), UACR (geometric mean, 99 mg/g; interquartile range, 37–233 mg/g), 51Cr-EDTA-GFR (94 ± 22 mL/min/1.73m2), glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) (9.0 ± 1.1%), glucose variability (calculated as SD), 4.0 ± 1.0 mmol/l; no-group differences (P ≥ .06 for all). After 1 year, change in UACR was mean, −13%; 95% confidence interval, −39 to 22 with SAP vs mean, 30%; 95% CI, −12 to 92% on MDI treatment (unadjusted P = .051; adjusted for HbA1c, P = .04). HbA1c decreased 1.3 ± 1.0 vs 0.6 ± 1.0% (P = .013), glucose variability decreased 0.9 ± 1.1 vs 0.3 ± 1.0 mmol/L (P = .04), and 51Cr-EDTA-GFR declined 5.6 ± 9.6 vs 3.4 ± 13 mL/min/1.73m2 (P = .50) with SAP vs MDI treatment. There were no changes in blood pressure (P ≥ .27). Conclusion: SAP treatment reduced UACR in a randomized controlled trial in type 1 diabetes patients with a history of albuminuria on stable renin-angiotensin system inhibition. Significance was reached after adjustment. SAP treatment reduced HbA1c and glucose variability (calculated as SD).
