INTRODUCTION: This study was performed to determine whether chronic direct renin inhibition can prevent the development of slowly progressive angiotensin (ANG) II-dependent hypertension and the associated derangements in renal function in Cyp1a1-Ren2 transgenic rats with inducible expression of the Ren2 gene. METHODS: Male Cyp1a1-Ren2 rats (n = 6) were fed a normal diet containing 0.15% indole-3-carbinol (I3C) for 16 days to induce slowly progressive ANG II-dependent hypertension. Conscious systolic blood pressure was measured daily using tail-cuff plethysmography. The rats were then anesthetized with pentobarbital sodium and surgically prepared for the measurement of mean arterial pressure (MAP) and renal hemodynamics and excretory function. RESULTS: In rats induced with I3C, systolic blood pressure increased by day 3 (130 ± 7-160 ± 5 mm Hg, P < 0.01) and continued to increase to 191 ± 6 mm Hg (P < 0.001) by day 16. In a separate group of rats (n = 6), chronic administration of the direct renin inhibitor, aliskiren (30 mg/kg/d, sc), prevented the development of hypertension (113 ± 5 versus 114 ± 5 mm Hg, not significant). Rats treated with aliskiren exhibited significantly lower mean arterial pressure (138 ± 4 versus 201 ± 6 mm Hg, P < 0.001), renal vascular resistance (23 ± 4 versus 38 ± 3 mm Hg/mL/min · g, P < 0.01), urine flow (17.6 ± 1.4 versus 25.1 ± 2.9 μL/min, P < 0.05) and urinary sodium excretion (1.11 ± 0.32 versus 2.35 ± 0.28 μEq/min, P < 0.05) and higher renal plasma flow (4.22 ± 0.23 versus 2.56 ± 0.21 mL/min · g, P < 0.01) and glomerular filtration rate (1.19 ± 0.07 versus 0.78 ± 0.08 mL/min · g, P < 0.01), compared with induced rats not treated chronically with aliskiren. CONCLUSIONS: The present findings demonstrate that chronic direct renin inhibition with aliskiren prevents the development of ANG II-dependent hypertension and the associated derangements in renal hemodynamics and excretory function in Cyp1a1-Ren2 transgenic rats. |
