ABSTRACT
Prostaglandin E2 receptor EP1 (PGE2/EP1) promotes diabetic renal injury, and EP1 receptor deletion improves hyperfiltration, albuminuria, and fibrosis. The role of EP1 receptors in hypertensive kidney disease (HKD) remains controversial. We examined the contribution of EP1 receptors to HKD. EP1 null (EP1-/-) mice were bred with hypertensive TTRhRen mice (Htn) to evaluate kidney function and injury at 24 weeks. EP1 deletion had no effect on elevation of systolic blood pressure in Htn mice (HtnEP1-/-) but resulted in pronounced albuminuria and reduced FITC-inulin clearance, compared with Htn or wild-type (WT) mice. Ultrastructural injury to podocytes and glomerular endothelium was prominent in HtnEP1-/- mice; including widened subendothelial space, subendothelial lucent zones and focal lifting of endothelium from basement membrane, with focal subendothelial cell debris. Cortex COX2 mRNA was increased by EP1 deletion. Glomerular EP3 mRNA was reduced by EP1 deletion, and EP4 by Htn and EP1 deletion. In WT mice, PGE2 increased chloride reabsorption via EP1 in isolated perfused thick ascending limb (TAL), but PGE2 or EP1 deletion did not affect vasopressin-mediated chloride reabsorption. In WT and Htn mouse inner medullary collecting duct (IMCD), PGE2 inhibited vasopressin-water transport, but not in EP1-/- or HtnEP1-/- mice. Overall, EP1 mediated TAL and IMCD transport in response to PGE2 is unaltered in Htn, and EP1 is protective in HKD.
