    Abstract Connexin (Cx) 37, 40, and 43 are implicated in vascular function, specifically in the electrical coupling of endothelial cells and vascular smooth-muscle cells. In the present study, we investigated whether factors implicated in vascular dysfunction can modulate the gene expression of Cx37, Cx40, and Cx43 and whether this is associated with changes in endothelial layer barrier function in human microvascular endothelial cells (HMEC-1). First, HMEC-1 were subjected to stimuli for 4 and 8 h. We tested their responses to DETA-NONOate, H

    Abstract To perform their functions, the kidneys maintain stable blood perfusion in the face of fluctuations in systemic BP. This is done through autoregulation of blood flow by the generic myogenic response and the kidney-specific tubuloglomerular feedback (TGF) mechanism. The central theme of this paper is that, to achieve autoregulation, nephrons do not work as single units to manage their individual blood flows, but rather communicate electrically over long distances to other nephrons

    Abstract The renal vasculature has many peculiarities including highly irregular branching. Renal blood flow must sustain adequate perfusion and maintain a high glomerular filtration. Renal autoregulation helps control renal blood flow. The local autoregulatory mechanism, tubuloglomerular feedback, elicits a vasoconstriction that can be found not only in neighboring nephrons but over large areas of the kidney indicating that the renal vasculature supports strong conduction of vascular responses. The basis for conduction is intercellular communication through gap junctions. The endothelium is strongly coupled and serves as a vascular conduction highway leading the signal to the vascular smooth muscle cells through myoendothelial coupling. Extensive intercellular coupling is also found in renin secreting cells where gap junctions seem to tie the cells together to improve control of renin secretion. Lack of coupling leads to dysregulation of renin secretion and hypertension. However, the activity of the renin-angiotensin system also controls gap junction expression in the kidney. Treatment reducing angiotensin II activity, as used in hypertension treatment, can affect expression of renal and vascular gap junction.

    Abstract Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common perioperative complication that is associated with increased mortality. This study investigates the renal gene expression in male Long-Evans rats after prolonged anesthesia and surgery to detect molecular mechanisms that could predispose the kidneys to injury upon further insults. Healthy and streptozotocin diabetic rats that underwent autoregulatory investigation in an earlier study were compared to rats that were sacrificed quickly for mRNA quantification in the same study. Prolonged surgery caused massive changes in renal mRNA expression by microarray analysis, which was validated by quantitative real-time PCR with good correlation. Furthermore, bioinformatics analysis using gene ontology and pathway analysis identified biological processes involved in immune system activation, such as immune system processes (p = 1.3 × 10

    Abstract Background and objective: Increased renal venous pressure (RVP) is common in combined heart and kidney failure. We previously showed that acute RVP elevation depresses renal blood flow (RBF), glomerular filtration rate (GFR), and induces renal vasoconstriction in the absence of changes in blood pressure in healthy rats. We used our established rodent model of chronic combined heart and kidney failure (H/KF) to test whether RVP elevation would impair cardiovascular stability, renal perfusion and exacerbate renal dysfunction.
    Methods: Male rats were subjected to 5/6 nephrectomy (SN
    Results: Baseline MAP, HR, RBF, and renal vascular conductance (RVC) were comparable among groups. Baseline GFR was significantly depressed in CL + SN
    Conclusion: Chronic combined heart and kidney failure primarily impairs renal hemodynamic stability in response to elevated RVP compared to healthy rats.

    Abstract Elevated central venous pressure increases renal venous pressure (RVP) which can affect kidney function. We previously demonstrated that increased RVP reduces renal blood flow (RBF), glomerular filtration rate (GFR), and renal vascular conductance (RVC). We now investigate whether the RAS and RBF autoregulation are involved in the renal hemodynamic response to increased RVP. Angiotensin II (ANG II) levels were clamped by infusion of ANG II after administration of an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor in male Lewis rats. This did not prevent the decrease in ipsilateral RBF (-1.9±0.4ml/min,

    Abstract Acutely increased renal venous pressure (RVP) impairs renal function, but the long-term impact is unknown. We investigated whether chronic RVP elevation impairs baseline renal function and prevents exacerbation of renal dysfunction and cardiovascular instability upon further RVP increase.
