    Abstract tested whether rat descending vasa recta (DVR) undergo regulatory adaptations after the kidney is exposed to ischemia. Left kidneys (LK) were subjected to 30-min renal artery cross clamp. After 48 h, the postischemic LK and contralateral right kidney (RK) were harvested for study. When compared with DVR isolated from either sham-operated LK or the contralateral RK, postischemic LK DVR markedly increased their NO generation. The selective inducible NOS (iNOS) inhibitor 1400W blocked the NO response. Immunoblots from outer medullary homogenates showed a parallel 2.6-fold increase in iNOS expression ( P = 0.01). Microperfused postischemic LK DVR exposed to angiotensin II (ANG II, 10 nM), constricted less than those from the contralateral RK, and constricted more when exposed to 1400W (10 µM). Resting membrane potentials of pericytes from postischemic LK DVR pericytes were hyperpolarized relative to contralateral RK pericytes (62.0 ± 1.6 vs. 51.8 ± 2.2 mV, respectively, P < 0.05) or those from sham-operated LK (54.9 ± 2.1 mV, P < 0.05). Blockade of NO generation with 1400W did not repolarize postischemic pericytes (62.5 ± 1.4 vs. 61.1 ± 3.4 mV); however, control pericytes were hyperpolarized by exposure to NO donation from S-nitroso- N-acetyl- dl-penicillamine (51.5 ± 2.9 to 62.1 ± 1.4 mV, P < 0.05). We conclude that postischemic adaptations intrinsic to the DVR wall occur after ischemia. A rise in 1400W sensitive NO generation and iNOS expression occurs that is associated with diminished contractile responses to ANG II. Pericyte hyperpolarization occurs that is not explained by the rise in ambient NO generation within the DVR wall.

    Abstract Using dual-cell electrophysiological recording, we examined the routes for equilibration of membrane potential between the pericytes and endothelia that comprise the descending vasa recta (DVR) wall. We measured equilibration between pericytes in intact vessels, between pericytes and endothelium in intact vessels and between pericytes physically separated from the endothelium. Dual pericyte recording on the abluminal surface of DVR showed that both resting potential and subsequent time-dependent voltage fluctuations after vasoconstrictor stimulation remained closely equilibrated, regardless of the agonist employed (angiotensin II, vasopressin or endothelin 1). When pericytes where removed from the vessel wall but retained physical contact with one another, membrane potential responses were also highly coordinated. In contrast, responses of pericytes varied independently when they were isolated from both the endothelium and from contact with one another. When pericytes and endothelium were in contact, their resting potentials were similar and their temporal responses to stimulation were highly coordinated. After completely isolating pericytes from the endothelium, their mean resting potentials became discordant. Finally, complete endothelial isolation eliminated all membrane potential responses to angiotensin II. We conclude that cell-to-cell transmission through the endothelium is not needed for pericytes to equilibrate their membrane potentials. AngII dependent responses of DVR endothelia may originate from gap junction coupling to pericytes rather than via receptor dependent signaling in the endothelium, per se.

    Abstract Using dual cell patch-clamp recording, we examined pericyte, endothelial, and myoendothelial cell-to-cell communication in descending vasa recta. Graded current injections into pericytes or endothelia yielded input resistances of 220 ± 21 and 128 ± 20 MΩ, respectively (P < 0.05). Injection of positive or negative current into an endothelial cell depolarized and hyperpolarized adjacent endothelial cells, respectively. Similarly, current injection into a pericyte depolarized and hyperpolarized adjacent pericytes. During myoendothelial studies, current injection into a pericyte or an endothelial cell yielded small, variable, but significant change of membrane potential in heterologous cells. Membrane potentials of paired pericytes or paired endothelia were highly correlated and identical. Paired measurements of resting potentials in heterologous cells were also correlated, but with slight hyperpolarization of the endothelium relative to the pericyte, -55.2 ± 1.8 vs. -52.9 ± 2.2 mV (P < 0.05). During dual recordings, angiotensin II or bradykinin stimulated temporally identical variations of pericyte and endothelial membrane potential. Similarly, voltage clamp depolarization of pericytes or endothelial cells induced parallel changes of membrane potential in the heterologous cell type. We conclude that the descending vasa recta endothelial syncytium is of lower resistance than the pericyte syncytium and that high-resistance myoendothelial coupling also exists. The myoendothelial communication between pericytes and endothelium maintains near identity of membrane potentials at rest and during agonist stimulation. Finally, endothelia membrane potential lies slightly below pericyte membrane potential, suggesting a tonic role for the former to hyperpolarize the latter and provide a brake on vasoconstriction.
