Angiotensin II binding sites in individual segments of the rat nephron.

Abstract: The sites of action of angiotensin II along the nephron are not well defined and both proximal and distal effects are suggested. Using a microassay that permits measurement of hormone binding in discrete tubule segments, we determined the binding sites of '25I-angiotensin II along the nephron of Sprague-Dawley rats.Specific binding in proximal convoluted tubule (PCT) (at 250C, pH 7.4) was linearly related to tubule length and saturable, with an apparent maximal binding capacity of -300 amol cm-'. Binding speci… Show more

“…The decrease in mRNA for ACE and AT1AR in I/R injury cannot be explained merely by the loss of the proximal tubular cells, which is the major site for ACE and AT1AR gene expression in the kidney (47,48), because, even in the WT mice subjected to I/R, where there is little morphological change in proximal tubules, the expression of ACE and AT1AR was substantially decreased. Given the well documented ability of angiotensin II to stimulate reactive oxygen species and to cause TGF-␤1 production, the down-regulation of the renin-angiotensin system in I/R injury may be protective.…”

“…It is increasingly recognized, however, that AII also directly affects renal epithelia. AT1R is present throughout the nephron (40), and signaling increases activities of the sodium hydrogen exchanger 3 in the proximal tubule, NKCC2 in the TAL, NCC of the DCT, and ENaC in the CNT and CD (41)(42)(43)(44). AII also regulates phosphorylation and activity of MR in renal intercalated cells, allowing induction of a transcellular Cl − reabsorption pathway (14).…”

“…In the jejunum, angiotensin II increases solute transport indirectly: angiotensin II potentiates sympathetic nerve activity and release of norepinephrine, which then changes epithelial cell transport via a, receptors (1). Proximal tubule cells are richly innervated (6,9,10), but they also have angiotensin II receptors (5,(11)(12)(13)(14). However, receptor-mediated stimulation of epithelial cell hydrogen ion secretion by angiotensin II has not been previously described.…”
