“…Aquaporin1 is the major water channel in renal proximal tubule and loop of Henle that is responsible for reabsorbing 80% of glomerular filtrate [75, 76]. It has been reported that renal and cardiac AQP1 expressions were downregulated in conditions such as renal fibrosis in mice [77] and HS-induced HPN [78]. The present result is in accordance with the finding by Penna et al [79] who showed that 8% HS downregulated APQ1.…”

27An increase in blood pressure (BP) by a high-salt (HS) diet may involve the 28 changes in the expression of epithelium sodium channels (ENaCs) and aquaporins 29 (AQPs) in the kidney which affect the sodium-and water-handling mechanisms. In the 30 present study, spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs) and Wistar Kyoto (WKY) rats 31 were exposed to HS and regular-salt (RS) diets for 6 weeks and fluid intake was 32 monitored. After 6 weeks, mean arterial pressure (MAP) and plasma hormonal activity 33 of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), levels of angiotensin II (Ang II), aldosterone and 34 arginine vasopressin (AVP) were determined. The expression of mRNA and protein 35 levels of ENaC and AQP subunits in kidneys were quantified by real-time PCR and 36 Western blotting. High-salt diet caused higher MAP only in SHRs and higher fluid 37 intake in both strains of rats when compared with their respective controls on RS diet.38 The plasma levels of Ang II and aldosterone were low in both SHRs and WKY rats fed 39 with HS diet. Meanwhile, plasma ANP activity was high in both strains of rats on HS 40 diet; whilst the AVP showed vice versa effects. The renal expression of mRNA and 41 protein levels of α-and γ-ENaCs was lowered by HS diet in both SHRs and WKY rats.42 Although β-ENaC mRNA and protein expression levels were depressed in SHRs but 43 they were enhanced in WKY rats. On the other hand, AQP-1, 2 and 7 mRNA and 44 protein expression levels were lowered in both strains of rats fed with HS diet, while 45 that of AQP-3, 4 and 6 showed no significant changes. The suppression of mRNA and 46 protein expression levels of ENaC and AQP subunits suggests that the HS-induced 47 increase in the MAP of SHRs may not be due to the renal sodium and water retention 48 solely. 49 3 50 Introduction 51 Dietary salt (i.e. sodium chloride, NaCl) intake is the most remarkably modifiable 52 environmental risk factor that attracts many studies on hypertension (HPN). It has been 53 acknowledged as an important contributing factor of the aetiology and progression of 54 HPN [1]. Despite the abundant experimental, interventional and epidemiological 55 observations demonstrating an association between dietary salt and HPN, scepticism 56 remains as to how high salt (HS) intake can be mechanistically linked to the increase in 57 blood pressure (BP). Knowing the heterogeneity of HPN, it is likely to involve the 58 intricate integration of multiple regulatory systems and the kidneys have long been 59 implicated to play a central role in regulating BP. Defects in the kidneys sodium-and 60 water-handling mechanisms have been mooted as one of the primary causes of HPN in 61 HS intake [2]. 62The kidneys have the capacity to return altered BP to baseline level by 63 increasing or decreasing sodium and water excretion in response to elevated or reduced 64 BP [3]. This is accomplished in the kidney by the presence of renal membrane-bound 65 protein i.e. epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) that fine-tune sodium reabsorption [4] 66 and aquaporins (AQPs) that ...

“…Dysfunctional mitochondria in case of renal fibrosis led to depletion of ATP and eventually suppression of Na + /K + ATPase 35 . Furthermore, it has been reported that renal tubular expression of Na/K-ATPase rapidly decreased in kidneys after UUO, contributing to compromised sodium regulation 36 .…”

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) poses a serious threat to the quality of human life and health with an increasing incidence worldwide. Renal fibrosis is closely related to CKD and regarded as the final common pathophysiological pathway in most cases of end-stage renal diseases. Elucidating the mechanisms underlying renal fibrosis and developing novel therapeutic strategies are of great importance. Herein, matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry imaging (MALDI MSI) based on 1, 5-diaminonaphthalene hydrochloride was applied to the rat model of unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) to investigate metabolic changes during renal fibrosis. Among identified endogenous compounds, twenty-one metabolites involved in metabolic networks such as glycolysis, tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, ATP metabolism, fatty acids metabolism, antioxidants, and metal ions underwent relatively obvious changes after 1 and 3 weeks of UUO. Unique distribution of the metabolites was obtained, and metabolic changes of kidneys during renal fibrosis were investigated simultaneously for the first time. These findings once again highlighted the promising potential of the organic salt matrix for application in small molecule in situ MSI and in the field of biomedical research.

“…This possibility is supported by the observation that significantly decreased renal AQP1 content was observed in the obstructed kidneys of rats with unilateral ureteral obstruction, suggesting that downregulation of AQP1 might be associated with tubule-interstitial fibrosis. 9 Moreover, in the mouse model of hypertension induced by a high-salt diet, the reduction of cardiac AQP1 might be associated with hypertension and cardiac injury, because angiotensin-receptor blocker treatment (valsartan) partially reversed the effects of a high-salt diet on hypertension with cardiac damage (fibrosis and inflammatory cell infiltration) and normalised cardiac AQP1 expression. 10 …”

“…It has been observed that AQP1 expression is upregulated in the kidneys 7 and brain 8 of spontaneously hypertensive rats. 7 , 8 In contrast, recent studies reported that renal and cardiac AQP1 expression was downregulated and associated with renal fibrosis 9 and high-salt diet-induced hypertension. 10 Thus, it remains unclear whether AQP1 expression can directly or indirectly affect blood pressure and kidney injury.…”

Introduction:We aimed to examine the regulation of aquaporin 1 expression in an angiotensinogen transgenic mouse model, focusing on underlying mechanisms.Methods:Male transgenic mice overexpressing rat angiotensinogen in their renal proximal tubular cells (RPTCs) and rat immortalised RPTCs stably transfected with rat angiotensinogen cDNA were used.Results:Angiotensinogen-transgenic mice developed hypertension and nephropathy, changes that were either partially or completely attenuated by treatment with losartan or dual renin–angiotensin system blockade (losartan and perindopril), respectively, while hydralazine prevented hypertension but not nephropathy. Decreased expression of aquaporin 1 and heme oxygenase-1 and increased expression of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and sodium–hydrogen exchanger 3 were observed in RPTCs of angiotensinogen-transgenic mice and in angiotensinogen-transfected immortalised RPTCs. These parameters were normalised by dual renin–angiotensin system blockade. Both in vivo and in vitro studies identified a novel mechanism in which angiotensinogen overexpression in RPTCs enhances the cytosolic accumulation of Nrf2 via the phosphorylation of pGSK3β Y216. Consequently, lower intranuclear Nrf2 levels are less efficient to trigger heme oxygenase-1 expression as a defence mechanism, which subsequently diminishes aquaporin 1 expression in RPTCs.Conclusions:Angiotensinogen-mediated downregulation of aquaporin 1 and Nrf2 signalling may play an important role in intrarenal renin–angiotensin system-induced hypertension and kidney injury.
