Abstract
We have reported that natriuretic effects of K(+) are involved in enhancement of renal kallikrein-kinin system. The study was aimed to examine 1) comparison of augmentative effects of K(+) on urinary KK excretion with non-specific washout effects by trichlormethiazide (thiazide), polyethyleneglycol 200 (PEG) and rapid physiological saline infusion, 2) contribution of Ca(2+) on the K(+)-induced increase in renal kallikrein secretion. Renal kallikrein activities were measured as fluorescence activities of methylcoumarinylamide-labeled synthetic substrate of tissue kallikrein (TK). Increases in urinary TK excretion were simultaneously observed with diuresis caused by thiazide, PEG, and rapid saline infusion. K(+) infusion increased urinary TK excretion with a diuretic response same as the control. K(+), but not thiazide, showed an early increase in renal TK secretion dose dependently in the kidney slices. Increases in renal TK secretion persisted during treatment with K(+). Neither voltage-dependent Ca(2+)-channel blockers such as verapamil and nifedipine nor simultaneous treatment of EDTA affected on the K(+)-induced increase in renal TK secretion. While, EDTA decreased the K(+)-induced increases in renal TK secretion with time. Caffeine also had an early effect on the increase in renal TK secretion. K(+)-induced increases in renal TK secretion was demonstrated even after treatment with ryanodine or depletion of caffeine-sensitive intracellular Ca(2+) by thapsigargin. It was indicated that the increase in renal TK secretion by K(+) depends on the intracellular Ca(2+) and the caffeine-sensitive release of intracellular Ca(2+) may not be involved in this response. Mechanisms for the K(+)-induced increase in renal TK secretion needs to be further elucidated.
