Zusammenfassung

1. We have examined whether an increase of renal vascular resistance is generally accompanied by an inhibition of renin secretion. The effects of vasoconstriction produced by angiotensin II (Ang II), arginine-vasopressin (AVP), and potassium (KCl) depolarization on vascular resistance and on renin release from isolated rat kidneys perfused at constant pressure of 100 mmHg were investigated. 2. Histological examination performed on some representative kidneys revealed that the tubular lumina of all segments within the cortex were patent and the brush borders of the proximal tubules were well preserved. The renal vasculature and the juxtaglomerular region appeared to be morphologically intact. By immunocytochemistry, renin-positive cells were found exclusively in the wall of the afferent arterioles. 3. Basal flow rate through isolated kidneys was 14.5 +/- 2.0 ml min-1 (g kidney weight (gkw))-1 (mean +/- S.E.M., n = 10). Under control conditions renin secretory rates were in the range of 30-40 (ng Ang I h-1) min-1 gkw-1. 4. Ang II (100 pM) caused a decrease of renal flow rate to 42 +/- 2% of control which was accompanied by a reduction of renin secretion rates by a factor of 4. 5. AVP (10 pM to 1 nM) reduced renal perfusate flow in a dose-dependent fashion to a minimum of 25 +/- 3% of control. The vasoconstrictor effect of AVP was paralleled by a concentration-dependent increase of renin secretory rates reaching a factor of maximally 5 when AVP was used at a concentration of 1 nM. The stimulatory effect of AVP on renin release could be mimicked by [deamino-Cys1, D-Arg8]-vasopressin (dDAVP), a vasopressin analogue with prevalent V2 receptor agonistic properties. In the presence of dDAVP (100 nM, 1 microM) renal flow rate reversibly increased by 8 and 12% of control values, respectively. 6. Depolarizing concentrations of KCl (30 mM) decreased perfusate flow to 20 +/- 4% of control. The vasoconstrictor effect of KCl was paralleled by an increase of the arterio-venous difference of perfusate renin activity to such an extent that the rate of renin release remained unaltered. 7. Our findings suggest that there exists no general inverse relationship between renal arteriolar resistance and renin secretion. Our study, moreover, does not support a functional role of potential operated calcium channels in the control of renin secretion. Finally, we conclude that V2 receptors are present on juxtaglomerular epithelioid cell membranes and mediate the stimulatory effect of AVP on renin release from isolated rat kidneys.
