Abstract
The kidney plays a central role in maintaining the fluid and electrolyte homeostasis in the body. Bicarbonate transporters NBCn1, NBCn2, and AE2 are expressed at the basolateral membrane of the medullary thick ascending limb (mTAL). In a previous study, NBCn1, NBCn2, and AE2 are proposed to play as a regulatory pathway to decrease NaCl reabsorption in the mTAL under high salt condition. When heterologously expressed, the activity of these transporters could be stimulated by the InsP3R binding protein released with inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IRBIT), L-IRBIT (collectively the IRBITs), or protein phosphatase PP1. In the present study, we characterized by immunofluorescence the expression and localization of the IRBITs, and PP1 in rat kidney. Our data showed that the IRBITs were predominantly expressed from the mTAL through the distal renal tubules. PP1 was predominantly expressed in the TAL, but is also present in high abundance from the distal convoluted tubule through the medullary collecting duct. Western blotting analyses showed that the abundances of NBCn1, NBCn2, and AE2 as well as the IRBITs and PP1 were greatly upregulated in rat kidney by dietary sodium. Co-immunoprecipitation study provided the evidence for protein interaction between NBCn1 and L-IRBIT in rat kidney. Taken together, our data suggest that the IRBITs and PP1 play an important role in sodium handling in the kidney. We propose that the IRBITs and PP1 stimulates NBCn1, NBCn2, and AE2 in the basolateral mTAL to inhibit sodium reabsorption under high sodium condition. Our study provides important insights into understanding the molecular mechanism for the regulation of sodium homeostasis in the body.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To provide tacrolimus is first-line treatment after liver and kidney transplantation. However, hypertension and nephrotoxicity are common tacrolimus side effects that limit its use. Although tacrolimus-related hypertension is well known, the underlying mechanisms are not. Here, we test whether tacrolimus-induced hypertension involves the RhoA (Ras homolog family member A)/ROCK (Rho-associated protein kinase) pathway in male C57Bl/6 mice. METHODS Intra-arterial blood pressure was measured under anesthesia. The reactivity of renal afferent arterioles and mesenteric arteries were assessed in vitro using microperfusion and wire myography, respectively. RESULTS Tacrolimus induced a transient rise in systolic arterial pressure that was blocked by the RhoA/ROCK inhibitor Fasudil (12.0±0.9 versus 3.2±0.7; P<0.001). Moreover, tacrolimus reduced the glomerular filtration rate, which was also prevented by Fasudil (187±20 versus 281±8.5; P<0.001). Interestingly, tacrolimus enhanced the sensitivity of afferent arterioles and mesenteric arteries to Ang II (angiotensin II), likely due to increased intracellular Ca2+ mobilization and sensitization. Fasudil prevented increased Ang II-sensitivity and blocked Ca2+ mobilization and sensitization. Preincubation of mouse aortic vascular smooth muscle cells with tacrolimus activated the RhoA/ROCK/MYPT-1 (myosin phosphatase targeting subunit 1) pathway. Further, tacrolimus increased cytoplasmic reactive oxygen species generation in afferent arterioles (107±5.9 versus 163±6.4; P<0.001) and in cultured mouse aortic vascular smooth muscle cells (100±7.5 versus 160±23.2; P<0.01). Finally, the reactive oxygen species scavenger Tempol inhibited tacrolimus-induced Ang II hypersensitivity in afferent arterioles and mesenteric arteries. CONCLUSIONS The RhoA/ROCK pathway may play an important role in tacrolimus-induced hypertension by enhancing Ang II-specific vasoconstriction, and reactive oxygen species may participate in this process by activating the RhoA/ROCK pathway.

Gut microbiota dependent trimethylamine N-oxide aggravates angiotensin II-induced hypertension. Redox Biol 2021; 46:102115. [PMID: 34474396 PMCID: PMC8408632 DOI: 10.1016/j.redox.2021.102115] [Citation(s) in RCA: 75] [Impact Index Per Article: 25.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/13/2021] [Revised: 08/20/2021] [Accepted: 08/20/2021] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Gut microbiota produce Trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) by metabolizing dietary phosphatidylcholine, choline, l-carnitine and betaine. TMAO is implicated in the pathogenesis of chronic kidney disease (CKD), diabetes, obesity and atherosclerosis. We test, whether TMAO augments angiotensin II (Ang II)-induced vasoconstriction and hence promotes Ang II-induced hypertension. Plasma TMAO levels were indeed elevated in hypertensive patients, thus the potential pathways by which TMAO mediates these effects were explored. Ang II (400 ng/kg−1min−1) was chronically infused for 14 days via osmotic minipumps in C57Bl/6 mice. TMAO (1%) or antibiotics were given via drinking water. Vasoconstriction of renal afferent arterioles and mesenteric arteries were assessed by microperfusion and wire myograph, respectively. In Ang II-induced hypertensive mice, TMAO elevated systolic blood pressure and caused vasoconstriction, which was alleviated by antibiotics. TMAO enhanced the Ang II-induced acute pressor responses (12.2 ± 1.9 versus 20.6 ± 1.4 mmHg; P < 0.05) and vasoconstriction (32.3 ± 2.6 versus 55.9 ± 7.0%, P < 0.001). Ang II-induced intracellular Ca2+ release in afferent arterioles (147 ± 7 versus 234 ± 26%; P < 0.001) and mouse vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC, 123 ± 3 versus 157 ± 9%; P < 0.001) increased by TMAO treatment. Preincubation of VSMC with TMAO activated the PERK/ROS/CaMKII/PLCβ3 pathway. Pharmacological inhibition of PERK, ROS, CaMKII and PLCβ3 impaired the effect of TMAO on Ca2+ release. Thus, TMAO facilitates Ang II-induced vasoconstriction, thereby promoting Ang II-induced hypertension, which involves the PERK/ROS/CaMKII/PLCβ3 axis. Orally administered TMAO aggravates Ang II-induced hypertension. Antibiotics alleviate Ang II-induced hypertension by reducing TMAO generation. High concentrations of TMAO constrict afferent arterioles and mesenteric arteries and increase blood pressure. Low concentrations of TMAO enhance Ang II-induced vasoconstriction and acute pressor response via activating PERK/ROS/CaMKII/PLCβ3/Ca2+ pathway.

Bicarbonate ion transport by the electrogenic Na + /HCO 3- cotransporter, NBCe1, is required for normal electrical slow-wave activity in mouse small intestine. Neurogastroenterol Motil 2021; 33:e14149.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Normal gastrointestinal motility depends on electrical slow-wave activity generated by interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC) in the tunica muscularis of the gastrointestinal tract. A requirement for HCO3- in extracellular solutions used to record slow waves indicates a role for HCO3- transport in ICC pacemaking. The Slc4a4 gene transcript encoding the electrogenic Na+ /HCO3- cotransporter, NBCe1, is enriched in mouse small intestinal myenteric region ICC (ICC-MY) that generate slow waves. This study aimed to determine how extracellular HCO3- concentrations affect electrical activity in mouse small intestine and to determine the contribution of NBCe1 activity to these effects. METHODS Immunohistochemistry and sharp electrode electrical recordings were used. KEY RESULTS The NBCe1 immunoreactivity was localized to ICC-MY of the tunica muscularis. In sharp electrode electrical recordings, removal of HCO3- from extracellular solutions caused significant, reversible, depolarization of the smooth muscle and a reduction in slow-wave amplitude and frequency. In 100 mM HCO3- , the muscle hyperpolarized and slow wave amplitude and frequency increased. The effects of replacing extracellular Na+ with Li+ , an ion that does not support NBCe1 activity, were similar to, but larger than, the effects of removing HCO3- . There were no additional changes to electrical activity when HCO3- was removed from Li+ containing solutions. The Na+ /HCO3- cotransport inhibitor, S-0859 (30µM) significantly reduced the effect of removing HCO3- on electrical activity. CONCLUSIONS & INFERENCES These studies demonstrate a major role for Na+ /HCO3- cotransport by NBCe1 in electrical activity of mouse small intestine and indicated that regulation of intracellular acid:base homeostasis contributes to generation of normal pacemaker activity in the gastrointestinal tract.

Abstract
PM2.5 infiltrates into circulation and increases the risk of systemic vascular dysfunction. As the first-line barrier against external stimuli, the molecular mechanism of the biological response of vascular endothelial cells to PM2.5 exposure remains unclear. In this study, 4-week-old mice were exposed to Hangzhou 'real' airborne PM2.5 for 2 months and were found to display bronchial and alveolar damage. Importantly, in the present study, we have demonstrated that Cdk5 deficit induced peripheral vasoconstriction through angiotensin II type 1 receptor under angiotensin II stimulation in Cdh5-cre;Cdk5f/n mice. In the brain, Cdk5 deficit increased the myogenic activity in the medullary arterioles under external pressure. On the other hand, no changes in cerebral blood flow and behavior patterns were observed in the Cdh5-cre;Cdk5f/n mice exposed to PM2.5. Therefore, our current findings indicate that CDK5 plays an important role in endothelium cell growth, migration, and molecular transduction, which is also a sensor for the response of vascular endothelial cells to PM2.5.

Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the WALANT technique in managing spaghetti wrist lacerations. Thirteen consecutive patients with spaghetti wrist laceration were operated on under WALANT technique and followed prospectively. All patients were operated on by the same hand surgeon in a university hospital setting. At the final follow-up, arterial patency, tendon repair, nerve regeneration, handgrip strength and overall patient satisfaction were assessed. All patients were male, with a mean age of 23.8 ± 7.7 years (range, 18-42). The mean waiting time from admission to operation was 33.6 ± 5.1 min (range, 26-42). The operation lasted a mean 119.6 ± 33.8 min (range, 75-185). Mean time from admission to discharge was 269.3 ± 35.0 min (range, 225-341). Mean VAS for intraoperative pain was 1.0 ± 0.9 points (range, 0-3). Patients were followed up for at least 6 months: mean 9.8 ± 1.6 months (range, 7-12). Ten of the 12 repaired arteries were patent and 2 were occluded at the final follow-up. Six of the 17 repaired nerves were evaluated as excellent, 9 as good and 2 as fair on 2-point discrimination test. Total active range of motion was perfect in 6 patients, good in 6, and fair in 1. Grip strength was averaged 86.8% (range, 76.9-93.5%) of the contralateral value. All patients were either very satisfied (n: 9) or satisfied (n: 4). The WALANT technique can be used for spaghetti wrist lacerations involving the tendons, arteries and nerves, with favorable outcome. Major arterial anastomosis can be performed without any surgical limitation.

Abstract
AIMS In patients with renal disease, high serum phosphate shows a relationship with cardiovascular risk. We speculate that high phosphate (HP) impairs arterial vasodilation via the endothelium and explore potential underlying mechanisms. METHODS Isolated vessel relaxation, endothelial function, glomerular filtration rate (GFR), oxidative stress status and protein expression were assessed in HP diet mice. Mitochondrial function and protein expression were assessed in HP-treated human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). RESULTS High phosphate (1.3%) diet for 12 weeks impaired endothelium-dependent relaxation in mesenteric arteries, kidney interlobar arteries and afferent arterioles; reduced GFR and the blood pressure responses to acute administration of acetylcholine. The PPARα/LKB1/AMPK/eNOS pathway was attenuated in the endothelium of mesenteric arteries from HP diet mice. The observed vasodilatory impairment of mesenteric arteries was ameliorated by PPARα agonist WY-14643. The phosphate transporter PiT-1 knockdown prevented HP-mediated suppression of eNOS activity by impeding phosphorus influx in HUVECs. Endothelium cytoplasmic and mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) were increased in HP diet mice. Moreover HP decreased the expression of mitochondrial-related antioxidant genes. Finally, mitochondrial membrane potential and PGC-1α expression were reduced by HP treatment in HUVECs, which was partly restored by AMPKα agonist. CONCLUSIONS HP impairs endothelial function by reducing NO bioavailability via decreasing eNOS activity and increasing mitochondrial ROS, in which the AMPK-related signalling pathways may play a key role.

Renovascular effects of inorganic nitrate following ischemia-reperfusion of the kidney. Redox Biol 2020; 39:101836. [PMID: 33360353 PMCID: PMC7772560 DOI: 10.1016/j.redox.2020.101836] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/29/2020] [Revised: 11/29/2020] [Accepted: 12/14/2020] [Indexed: 01/07/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Renal ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury is a common cause of acute kidney injury (AKI), which is associated with oxidative stress and reduced nitric oxide (NO) bioactivity and increased risk of developing chronic kidney disease (CKD) and cardiovascular disease (CVD). New strategies that restore redox balance may have therapeutic implications during AKI and associated complications. AIM To investigate the therapeutic value of boosting the nitrate-nitrite-NO pathway during development of IR-induced renal and cardiovascular dysfunction. METHODS Male C57BL/6 J mice were given sodium nitrate (10 mg/kg, i. p) or vehicle 2 h prior to warm ischemia of the left kidney (45 min) followed by sodium nitrate supplementation in the drinking water (1 mmol/kg/day) for the following 2 weeks. Blood pressure and glomerular filtration rate were measured and blood and kidneys were collected and used for biochemical and histological analyses as well as renal vessel reactivity studies. Glomerular endothelial cells exposed to hypoxia-reoxygenation, with or without angiotensin II, were used for mechanistic studies. RESULTS IR was associated with reduced renal function and slightly elevated blood pressure, in combination with renal injuries, inflammation, endothelial dysfunction, increased Ang II levels and Ang II-mediated vasoreactivity, which were all ameliorated by nitrate. Moreover, treatment with nitrate (in vivo) and nitrite (in vitro) restored NO bioactivity and reduced mitochondrial oxidative stress and injuries. CONCLUSIONS Acute treatment with inorganic nitrate prior to renal ischemia may serve as a novel therapeutic approach to prevent AKI and CKD and associated risk of developing cardiovascular dysfunction.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are produced by the aerobic metabolism. The imbalance between production of ROS and antioxidant defence in any cell compartment is associated with cell damage and may play an important role in the pathogenesis of renal disease. NADPH oxidase (NOX) family is the major ROS source in the vasculature and modulates renal perfusion. Upregulation of Ang II and adenosine activates NOX via AT1R and A1R in renal microvessels, leading to superoxide production. Oxidative stress in the kidney prompts renal vascular remodelling and increases preglomerular resistance. These are key elements in hypertension, acute and chronic kidney injury, as well as diabetic nephropathy. Renal afferent arterioles (Af), the primary resistance vessel in the kidney, fine tune renal hemodynamics and impact on blood pressure. Vice versa, ROS increase hypertension and diabetes, resulting in upregulation of Af vasoconstriction, enhancement of myogenic responses and change of tubuloglomerular feedback (TGF), which further promotes hypertension and diabetic nephropathy. In the following, we highlight oxidative stress in the function and dysfunction of renal hemodynamics. The renal microcirculatory alterations brought about by ROS importantly contribute to the pathophysiology of kidney injury, hypertension and diabetes.

Overexpression of Na +-HCO 3- cotransporter contributes to the exacerbation of cardiac remodeling in mice with myocardial infarction by increasing intracellular calcium overload. Biochim Biophys Acta Mol Basis Dis 2019; 1866:165623. [PMID: 31778748 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbadis.2019.165623] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/30/2019] [Revised: 10/25/2019] [Accepted: 11/22/2019] [Indexed: 12/31/2022]
Abstract
The role of the cardiac isoform of the electrogenic sodium-bicarbonate ion cotransporter (NBCe1) in cardiac remodeling is not fully understood. The aim of this study was to assess the effects of NBCe1 overexpression on cardiac remodeling induced by myocardial infarction (MI) in mice. We generated NBCe1 transgenic (Tg) mice and NBCe1 overexpressing adult mouse ventricular myocytes (AMVMs) to investigate the role of NBCe1 on post-MI remodeling and calcium kinetics. Tg mice showed a markedly higher mortality rate and larger infarct size after MI. At 6 weeks after MI, the maximum rising rates of left ventricular pressure (dp/dt), contractility index, and the exponential time constant of relaxation (τ) were markedly lower, and there was higher cardiomyocyte apoptosis, in Tg mice compared with WT mice. In cultured AMVMs, overexpression of NBCe1 decreased sarcomere shortening and calcium amplitude. In WT AMVMs, the rates of the rise and decay phase of calcium transients, indicated by the rising time (Tpeak, time to peak) and decay time constant (τd), and the number of apoptotic cells, were increased following hypoxia, while overexpression of NBCe1 further increased Tpeak and cellular apoptosis, but not τd. Intracellular resting calcium and sodium concentrations were significantly increased following both hypoxia and NBCe1 overexpression. Co-treatment with S0859, an NBCe1 antagonist, blocked the hypoxia-induced increase in Tpeak, τd, intracellular resting calcium and sodium concentrations, and apoptosis in cardiomyocytes. These findings indicate that NBCe1 overexpression promotes cardiac remodeling by increasing intracellular calcium overload. Therefore, NBCe1 should be a potential target for treatment of cardiac remodeling.
