We have demonstrated that Na/K-ATPase acts as a receptor for reactive oxygen species (ROS), regulating renal Na+ handling and blood pressure. TALLYHO/JngJ (TH) mice are believed to mimic the state of obesity in humans with a polygenic background of type 2 diabetes. This present work is to investigate the role of Na/K-ATPase signaling in TH mice, focusing on susceptibility to hypertension due to chronic excess salt ingestion. Age-matched male TH and the control C57BL/6J (B6) mice were fed either normal diet or high salt diet (HS: 2, 4, and 8% NaCl) to construct the renal function curve. Na/K-ATPase signaling including c-Src and ERK1/2 phosphorylation, as well as protein carbonylation (a commonly used marker for enhanced ROS production), were assessed in the kidney cortex tissues by Western blot. Urinary and plasma Na+ levels were measured by flame photometry. When compared to B6 mice, TH mice developed salt-sensitive hypertension and responded to a high salt diet with a significant rise in systolic blood pressure indicative of a blunted pressure-natriuresis relationship. These findings were evidenced by a decrease in total and fractional Na+ excretion and a right-shifted renal function curve with a reduced slope. This salt-sensitive hypertension correlated with changes in the Na/K-ATPase signaling. Specifically, Na/K-ATPase signaling was not able to be stimulated by HS due to the activated baseline protein carbonylation, phosphorylation of c-Src and ERK1/2. These findings support the emerging view that Na/K-ATPase signaling contributes to metabolic disease and suggest that malfunction of the Na/K-ATPase signaling may promote the development of salt-sensitive hypertension in obesity. The increased basal level of renal Na/K-ATPase-dependent redox signaling may be responsible for the development of salt-sensitive hypertension in polygenic obese TH mice.

Increased salt intake attenuates the endothelium-dependent dilation of skeletal muscle arterioles by abolishing local nitric oxide (NO) activity. There is evidence of oxidative stress in arteriolar and venular walls of rats fed a high-salt diet, and depressed arteriolar responses to acetylcholine (ACh) in these rats are reversed by scavengers of reactive oxygen species (ROS). In this study, we tested the hypothesis that this salt-dependent increase in microvascular ROS and the resulting attenuation of endothelium-dependent dilation are due to increased expression and/or activity of oxidant enzymes in the microvascular wall. Resting arteriolar and venular wall oxidant activity, as assessed by tetranitroblue tetrazolium reduction, was consistently higher in the spinotrapezius muscle of rats fed a high-salt diet (7% NaCl, HS) for 4–5 wk than in those fed a normal diet (0.45% NaCl, NS) for the same duration. Western analysis of protein from isolated microvessels showed no difference between HS and NS rats in the expression of NAD(P)H oxidase or xanthine oxidase. Inhibition of NAD(P)H oxidase and/or xanthine oxidase with diphenyleneiodonium chloride and oxypurinol, respectively, reduced resting arteriolar wall oxidant activity to normal levels in HS rats but had no effect in NS rats, suggesting that the basal activities of NAD(P)H oxidase and xanthine oxidase are increased in HS microvessels. However, inhibition of these enzymes in HS rats did not restore normal arteriolar responses to ACh, suggesting that this stimulus activates an alternate source of ROS that eliminates the role of NO in the subsequent dilation.

Recent evidence suggests that salt-sensitive hypertension develops as a consequence of renal infiltration with immunocompetent cells. We investigated whether proteinuria, which is known to induce interstitial nephritis, causes salt-sensitive hypertension. Female Lewis rats received 2 g of BSA intraperitoneally daily for 2 wk. After protein overload (PO), 6 wk of a high-salt diet induced hypertension [systolic blood pressure (SBP) = 156 ± 11.8 mmHg], whereas rats that remained on a normal-salt diet and control rats (without PO) on a high-salt diet were normotensive. Administration of mycophenolate mofetil (20 mg · kg−1 · day−1) during PO resulted in prevention of proteinuria-related interstitial nephritis, reduction of renal angiotensin II-positive cells and oxidative stress (superoxide-positive cells and renal malondialdehyde content), and resistance to the hypertensive effect of the high-salt diet (SBP = 129 ± 12.2 mmHg). The present studies support the participation of renal inflammatory infiltrate in the pathogenesis of salt-sensitive hypertension and provide a direct link between two risk factors of progressive renal damage: proteinuria and hypertension.

Background: Paraoxonase 3 (Pon3), is one of the three isoforms of the paraoxonase gene family. While Pon1 and Pon2 are widely studied, there is a paucity of knowledge regarding Pon3. Pon3 is synthesized in the liver and can circulate bound to high-density lipoproteins. There is significant expression in the kidney also. Pon3 has the ability to metabolize eicosanoids, which can act as signaling molecules and have known roles in the pathophysiology of some renal diseases. Decreased Pon activity is associated with elevated levels of eicosanoid metabolites and adverse clinical outcomes. We tested the hypothesis that targeted disruption of Pon3 results in elevated levels of pro-inflammatory eicosanoids and progression of renal injury. Methods/ Results: Ten week old male Dahl salt-sensitive (SS rats) and Pon3 mutant rats (SS Pon3 KO) were maintained on 8% high salt diet for eight weeks, to initiate salt-sensitive hypertensive renal disease. Previously we observed that SS Pon3 KO rats on eight weeks high salt diet demonstrated significantly increased phenotypic renal injury and mortality. In the current study, we noted that SS Pon3 KO had significantly decreased (p<0.05) glomerular filtration rate compared to SS wild type. Blood pressure (radiotelemetry) as well as plasma angiotensin and aldosterone (LC-MS/MS) were not different between the two groups after high salt diet. We used targeted lipidomic profiling to determine eicosanoid content in renal cortex from SS Pon3 KO and SS wild type rats at the end of eight weeks of high salt diet. We found that hydroxyl fatty acids 5-HEPE and 5-HETE (5-lipoxygenase dependent arachidonic acid metabolites) were significantly (p<0.05) elevated in the renal cortex of SS Pon3 KO compared to SS wild type rats. In addition to being mediators of inflammation, these metabolites are associated with renal cell injury and death. Furthermore, prostaglandin 6-keto-PGF 1α , which has known links to renal inflammation, was significantly (p<0.05) increased in renal cortex of SS- Pon3 KO compared to SS wild type rats. Conclusion: These findings suggest that targeted deletion of Pon3 increases pro-inflammatory eicosanoids (5-HETE and 5-HEPE) and prostaglandins (6-keto-PGF 1α ), as well as increases renal damage independent of blood pressure.
