ABSTRACT
Emerging evidence indicates that endogenous production of endothelin (ET)-1, a 21-amino acid peptide vasoconstrictor, plays an important role in proteinuric kidney disease. Previous studies in rats have shown that chronic administration of ET-1 leads to increased glomerular albumin leakage. The underlying mechanisms are, however, currently not known. Here, we used size-exclusion chromatography to measure glomerular sieving coefficients for neutral FITC-Ficoll (molecular Stokes-Einstein radius 15-80 Å, molecular weight 70 kDa/400 kDa) in anesthetized male Sprague-Dawley rats (n = 12) at baseline and at 5, 15, 30, and 60 min after intravenous administration of ET-1. In separate experiments, ET-1 was given together with the selective ET type A (ETA) or ET type B (ETB) receptor antagonists JKC-301 and BQ-788, respectively. At both 15 and 30 min postadministration, the glomerular sieving coefficient for macromolecular Ficoll (70 Å) was significantly increased to 4.4 × 10-5 ± 0.7 × 10-5 (P = 0.024) and 4.5 × 10-5 ± 0.8 × 10-5 (P = 0.007), respectively, compared with baseline (2.2 × 10-5 ± 0.4 ×10-5). Decreased urine production after ET-1 prevented the use of higher doses of ET-1. Data analysis using the two-pore model indicated changes in large-pore permeability after ET-1, with no changes in the small-pore pathway. Administration of ETA blocker abrogated the permeability changes induced by ET-1 at 30 min, whereas blockade of ETB receptors was ineffective. Mean arterial pressure was only significantly increased at 60 min, being 123 ± 4 mmHg compared with 111 ± 2 mmHg at baseline (P = 0.02). We conclude that ET-1 evoked small, delayed, and sustained increases in glomerular permeability, mediated via the ETA receptor.
