We investigated the baroregulation of arginine vasopressin (AVP) gene transcription in the supraoptic (SON) and paraventricular nuclei (PVN) in conscious rats by use of intronic in situ hybridization. Hemorrhage of 16 ml/kg body wt decreased mean arterial pressure (MAP) by 57% and increased both plasma AVP (control, 1.2 ± 0.3 pg/ml; 16 ml/kg body wt, 38.9 ± 3.2 pg/ml) at 10 min and AVP heteronuclear (hn)RNA levels (SON, 150%; PVN, 140% of control values) at 20 min. On the other hand, hemorrhage of 7 ml/kg body wt had no significant effect on MAP, plasma AVP, or the AVP hnRNA levels. To better understand the baroregulation, we also examined the effects of sodium nitroprusside (SNP), which induces hypotension without a change in blood volume. The subcutaneous injection of 2 mg/kg body wt SNP, which decreased the MAP by 60%, increased both plasma AVP (control, 1.6 ± 0.4 pg/ml; 2 mg/kg body wt, 8.1 ± 0.4 pg/ml) at 10 min and AVP hnRNA levels (SON, 150%; PVN, 140% of control values) at 30 min. The injection of 0.1 mg/kg body wt SNP, which reduced the MAP by 10%, failed to increase either the plasma AVP or AVP hnRNA levels. These results indicate that AVP gene transcription increases rapidly after both hypotensive hemorrhage and normovolemic hypotension. In addition, it is suggested that the set point for AVP synthesis in the baroregulation is similar to that for AVP release.

Autosomal dominant familial neurohypophyseal diabetes insipidus (adFNDI) is a rare autosomal dominant disorder characterized by polyuria and polydipsia due to deficiency of arginine vasopressin (AVP). More than 50 mutations causing adFNDI have been already reported in the AVP gene. The aim of the present study is to analyze the AVP gene in four generations of one Brazilian kindred with adFNDI. The proband was a 31-year old female with huge hypotonic polyuria (10 L/day) dated from childhood. Molecular analysis included amplification of all exons and exon-intron regions of the AVP gene by PCR and direct sequencing. Sequencing analysis showed a novel point mutation in heterozygous: G88V (GGC>GTC). All affected patients presented the same mutation also in heterozygous, while it was absent in four normal members. We expand the repertoire of mutations in AVP describing the novel G88V mutation in one Brazilian kindred with adFNDI.
