Endogenous interleukin-10 (IL-10) exerts immune down-regulating action on the generation of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α). The present study examined the hypothesis that IL-10 plays a protective role in hypertension and renal injury induced by angiotensin II (AngII) and high salt (HS) diet by minimizing TNF-α production. Systemic blood pressure (BP; monitored by implanted radio-telemetry), TNF-α level in plasma and in the kidney (by ELISA) as well as renal injury (glomerulosclerosis, GS by PAS staining and renal interstitial fibrosis, RIF by Trichrome staining) responses to chronic infusion of AngII (400 ng/min; osmotic minipump) for 2 wks were evaluated in wild-type (WT; n=11) and IL-10 gene knockout mice (KO; n=11) which were fed either normal (NS; 0.03% NaCl, n=5) or HS (4% NaCl; n=6) diets. On the last day of the experiment, a 24 hr urine collection was made using metabolic cages prior to sacrificing the mice for the collection of plasma and renal tissue samples. The mean baseline BP in KO was lower (104±3 vs 116±4 mmHg) than that in WT. Increase in BP in AngII+HS treated KO was lower (Δ 20±5 vs Δ 39±2 mmHg) than that in WT but similar in AngII+NS treated KO and WT (Δ 40±3 vs Δ 47±7 mmHg). In AngII+HS treated WT, TNF-α was higher in plasma (69±6 vs 34±4 pg/mL) and in renal tissue (208±15 vs 95±11 pg/mg protein) compared to values in WT treated with AngII+NS. In AngII+HS treated KO, TNF-α was lower in plasma (20±3 vs 180±44 pg/mL) and in renal tissue (205±23 vs 277±23 vs pg/mg protein) compared to values in KO treated with AngII+NS. The urinary nitrate/nitrite excretion rate was higher in AngII+NS (0.56±0.25 vs 0.08±0.01 mM/24 hr) and AngII+HS (1.23±0.12 vs 0.18±0.02 mM/24 hr) treated KO compared to the correspondingly treated WT. The eNOS protein expression was higher in KO treated with AngII+NS (~2 folds) or AngII+HS (~3 folds) compared to those in treated WT. GS (24.6±1.3 vs 13.8±2.1 %) and RIF (10.6±1.1 vs 7.8±0.5 %) changes were greater in AngII+NS treated KO than those in treated WT. However, the changes were minimal in HS treated groups. In conclusion, these data demonstrate that there exists an interaction of IL-10 and eNOS activity in the regulation of TNF-α in the kidney that provides a protective role by minimizing hypertension and renal injury induced by Ang II and HS intake.

The sequential hemodynamics, fluid and electrolyte balances, and the hormonal responses to a 7-day high-salt (NaCl) intake were investigated in sodium-depleted conscious dogs (n = 6). Studies were carried out in metabolic cages mounted on sensitive load cells, which enabled continuous 24 h/day monitoring of total body weight (TBW) as an index of changes in body water. Beat-by-beat hemodynamics were determined 24 h/day. Water (700 ml/day iv) intake was maintained constant. Daily fluid and electrolyte balances and hormonal analyses were performed. An increase of daily salt intake from 8 to 120 meq increased TBW 251 +/- 44 g (P less than 0.05), which was sustained thereafter. Average 24-h mean arterial pressure (MAP) and heart rate (HR) remained unchanged. Average cardiac output (CO) increased 11% (P less than 0.05) above control values by day 2, while total peripheral resistance (TPR) decreased proportionally. CO and TPR returned to control values only when low salt was resumed. Blood volume (BV) was unchanged on day 2 as indicated by direct measurement of BV (51Cr-labeled red blood cells) or by analysis of plasma protein concentration. A 92-meq (P less than 0.05) sodium retention was observed initially, and plasma sodium concentration increased slightly. Plasma renin activity, angiotensin II, and aldosterone levels decreased significantly, whereas vasopressin and atrial natriuretic peptide levels remained unchanged. In summary, chronic high-salt intake resulted in a net retention of water and sodium with no changes in MAP, HR, or BV. The rise in CO was offset by a reduction in TPR, which appeared at least in part related to angiotensin II suppression.

AbstractAimsHigh salt intake markedly enhances hypertension induced by angiotensin II (Ang II). We explored central and peripheral slow-pressor mechanisms which may be activated by Ang II and salt.Methods and resultsIn protocol I, Wistar rats were infused subcutaneously with low-dose Ang II (150 ng/kg/min) and fed regular (0.4%) or high salt (2%) diet for 14 days. In protocol II, Ang II-high salt was combined with intracerebroventricular infusion of mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) blockers (eplerenone, spironolactone), epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) blocker (benzamil), angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT1R) blocker (losartan) or vehicles. Ang II alone raised mean arterial pressure (MAP) ∼10 mmHg, but Ang II-high salt increased MAP ∼50 mmHg. Ang II-high salt elevated plasma corticosterone, aldosterone and endogenous ouabain but not Ang II alone. Both Ang II alone and Ang II-high salt increased mRNA and protein expression of CYP11B2 (aldosterone synthase gene) in the adrenal cortex but not of CYP11B1 (11-β-hydroxylase gene). In the aorta, Ang II-high salt increased sodium-calcium exchanger-1 (NCX1) protein. The Ang II-high salt induced increase in MAP was largely prevented by central infusion of MR blockers, benzamil or losartan. Central blockades significantly lowered plasma aldosterone and endogenous ouabain and markedly decreased Ang II-high salt induced CYP11B2 mRNA expression in the adrenal cortex and NCX1 protein in the aorta.ConclusionThese results suggest that in Ang II-high salt hypertension, MR-ENaC-AT1R signalling in the brain increases circulating aldosterone and endogenous ouabain, and arterial NCX1. These factors can amplify blood pressure responses to centrally-induced sympatho-excitation and thereby contribute to severe hypertension.

Renal immune cell infiltration and cells expressing angiotensin II (AII) in tubulointerstitial areas of the kidney are features of experimental models of salt-sensitive hypertension (SSHTN). A high-salt intake tends to suppress circulating AII levels, but intrarenal concentrations of AII have not been investigated in SSHTN. This study explored the relationship between these features to gain insight into the pathophysiology of SSHTN. Plasma angiotensin II (AII) and renal interstitial AII (microdialysis technique) and the infiltration of macrophages, lymphocytes, and AII-positive cells were determined in SSHTN induced by 5 wk of a high-salt diet (HSD) after short-term infusion of AII in rats with ( n = 10) and without ( n = 11) treatment with mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) and in control rats fed a high- ( n = 7) and normal ( n = 11) salt diet. As in previous studies, MMF did not affect AII-associated hypertension but reduced the interstitial inflammation and the SSHTN in the post-AII-period. During the HSD period, the AII group untreated with MMF had mean ± SD) low plasma (2.4 ± 1.4 pg/ml) and high interstitial AII concentration (1,310 ± 208 pg/ml); MMF treatment resulted in a significantly lower interstitial AII (454 ± 128 pg/ml). Renal AII concentration and the number of tubulointerstitial AII-positive cells were correlated. Blood pressure correlated positively with interstitial AII and negatively with plasma AII, thus giving compelling evidence of the paramount role of the AII within the kidney in the AII-induced model of salt-driven hypertension.

Abstract Nocturnal polyuria is the most frequent cause of nocturia, a common disease associated with a compromised quality of life and increased mortality. Its pathogenesis is complex, and the detailed underlying mechanism remains unknown. Herein, we report that concomitant intake of a high-salt diet and reduced nitric oxide (NO) production achieved through Nω-Nitro-L-arginine methyl ester hydrochloride (L-NAME) administration in mice resulted in nocturnal polyuria recapitulating the clinical features in humans. High salt intake under reduced NO production overactivated the angiotensin II-SPAK (STE20/SPS1-related proline–alanine-rich protein kinase)-NCC (sodium chloride co-transporter) pathway in the kidney, resulting in the insufficient excretion of sodium during the day and its excessive excretion at night. Excessive Na excretion at night in turn leads to nocturnal polyuria due to osmotic diuresis. Our study identified a central role for the intrarenal angiotensin II-SPAK-NCC pathway in the pathophysiology of nocturnal polyuria, highlighting its potential as a promising therapeutic target.
