Renal NOXA1/NOX1 Signaling Regulates Epithelial Sodium Channel and Sodium Retention in Angiotensin II-induced Hypertension.

ABSTRACT: Aims: NADPH oxidase (NOX)-derived reactive oxygen species (ROS) are implicated in the pathophysiology of hypertension in chronic kidney disease patients. Genetic deletion of NOX activator 1 (Noxa1) subunit of NOX1 decreases ROS under pathophysiological conditions. Here, we investigated the role of NOXA1-dependent NOX1 activity in the pathogenesis of angiotensin II (Ang II)-induced hypertension (AIH) and possible involvement of abnormal renal function. Results: NOXA1 is present in epithelial cells of Henle's thick ascending limb and distal nephron. Telemetry showed lower basal systolic blood pressure (BP) in Noxa1^-/- versus wild-type mice. Ang II infusion for 1 and 14 days increased NOXA1/NOX1 expression and ROS in kidney of male but not female wild-type mice. Mean BP increased 30 mmHg in wild-type males, with smaller increases in Noxa1-deficient males and wild-type or Noxa1^-/- females. In response to an acute salt load, Na⁺ excretion was similar in wild-type and Noxa1^-/- mice before and 14 days after Ang II infusion. However, Na⁺ excretion was delayed after 1-2 days of Ang II in male wild-type versus Noxa1^-/- mice. Ang II increased epithelial Na⁺ channel (ENaC) levels and activation in the collecting duct principal epithelial cells of wild-type but not Noxa1^-/- mice. Aldosterone induced ROS levels and Noxa1 and Scnn1a expression and ENaC activity in a mouse renal epithelial cell line, responses abolished by Noxa1 small-interfering RNA. Innovation and Conclusion: Ang II activation of renal NOXA1/NOX1-dependent ROS enhances tubular ENaC expression and Na⁺ reabsorption, leading to increased BP. Attenuation of AIH in females is attributed to weaker NOXA1/NOX1-dependent ROS signaling and efficient natriuresis. Antioxid. Redox Signal. 36, 550-566.

Project description:Cholinergic receptor activation leads to premature development of hypertension and infiltration of proinflammatory CD161a+/CD68+ M1 macrophages into the renal medulla. Renal inflammation is implicated in renal sodium retention and the development of hypertension. Renal denervation is known to decrease renal inflammation. The objective of this study was to determine the role of CD161a+/CD68+ macrophages and renal sympathetic nerves in cholinergic-hypertension and renal sodium retention. Bilateral renal nerve denervation (RND) and immune ablation of CD161a+ immune cells were performed in young prehypertensive spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR) followed by infusion of either saline or nicotine (15 mg·kg-1·day-1) for 2 wk. Immune ablation was conducted by injection of unconjugated azide-free antibody targeting rat CD161a+. Blood pressure was monitored by tail cuff plethysmography. Tissues were harvested at the end of infusion. Nicotine induced premature hypertension, renal expression of the sodium-potassium chloride cotransporter (NKCC2), increases in renal sodium retention, and infiltration of CD161a+/CD68+ macrophages into the renal medulla. All of these effects were abrogated by RND and ablation of CD161a+ immune cells. Cholinergic activation of CD161a+ immune cells with nicotine leads to the premature development of hypertension in SHR. The effects of renal sympathetic nerves on chemotaxis of CD161a+ macrophages to the renal medulla, increased renal expression of NKCC2, and renal sodium retention contribute to cholinergic hypertension. The CD161a+ immune cells are necessary and essential for this prohypertensive nicotine-mediated inflammatory response.NEW & NOTEWORTHY This is the first study that describes a novel integrative physiological interaction between the adrenergic, cholinergic, and renal systems in the development of hypertension, describing data for the role of each in a genetic model of essential hypertension. Noteworthy findings include the prevention of nicotine-mediated hypertension following successful immune ablation of CD161a+ immune cells and the necessary role these cells play in the overexpression of the sodium-potassium-chloride cotransporter (NKCC2) in the renal medulla and renal sodium retention. Renal infiltration of these cells is demonstrated to be dependent on the presence of renal adrenergic innervation. These data offer a fertile ground of therapeutic potential for the treatment of hypertension as well as open the door for further investigation into the mechanism involved in inflammation-mediated renal sodium transporter expression. Taken together, these findings suggest immune therapy, renal denervation, and, possibly, other new molecular targets as having a potential role in the development and maintenance of essential hypertension.
