    Abstract: The homeostatic control of blood pressure hinges upon the delicate balance between pro-hypertensinogenic (e.g., sympathetic nervous system) and anti-hypertensinogenic systems (e.g., dopamine system). The D 1 -like dopamine receptors (D 1 R and D 5 R) and the α 1A adrenergic receptor (ARα 1A ) are endogenously expressed in the renal proximal tubules and engender opposing effects on sodium transport, i.e., natriuresis (D 1 R and D 5 R) or anti-natriuresis (ARα 1A ). We tested the hypothesis that the D 1 R and D 5 R interact with and regulate the ARα 1A in human renal proximal tubule cells (hRPTCs) and in mice. We found that the D 1 R and D 5 R colocalized with the ARα 1A in hRPTCs and in proximal tubules in human kidney sections. Both receptors immunoprecipitated, pulled-down, and co-fractionated with ARα 1A in lipid rafts. Short-term co-treatment with fenoldopam (1 μM, 15 min) reversed the ARα 1 agonist phenylephrine (10 μM, 15 min)-induced Na + ,K + -ATPase (NKA) translocation from the cytosol to the plasma membrane in hRPTCs (plasma membrane NKA: vehicle=100±5% vs. fenoldopam=65±3% vs. phenylephrine=177±5% vs. co-treatment=115±7%; P 〈 0.05, n=3-4). Long-term fenoldopam (1 μM, 24 hr) treatment resulted in decreased D 1 R (70.0±5.9%, P 〈 0.05, n=3) and D 5 R (50.1±10.7%, P 〈 0.05, n=3), consistent with D 1 -like receptor desensitization, but increased ARα 1A abundance (142.6±4.3%, P 〈 0.05, n=3) in hRPTCs. RNAi silencing of ARα 1A (48 hr) increased the expression of D 1 R and D 5 R. To determine the extent of regulation of each D 1 -like receptor on ARα 1A , we used the subclass-selective ARα 1 agonist phenylephrine (5 μg/kg body weight, i.p.) and the receptor-specific ARα 1A agonist A610603 (25 ng/kg body weight, i.p.) to inhibit Na + excretion in three mouse strains. Phenylephrine treatment resulted in 59.6%, 84.2%, 99.3%, and 99.5% reduction from basal level of 24-hr Na + excretion_while A61603 treatment resulted in 42.4%, 67.1%, 99.9%, and 100% reduction_in wild-type controls, D 1 R -/- , and D 5 R -/- knockout mice, and D 1 R/D 5 R -/- double knockout mice, respectively, suggesting a stronger regulatory effect of D 5 R on ARα 1A . Elucidating the intricacies of the interaction among these receptors is crucial for a better understanding of the crosstalk between anti- and pro-hypertensive systems.

    Abstract: We have reported that sorting nexin 1 (SNX1) is crucial for renal dopamine D 5 receptor (D 5 R) trafficking, signal transduction, and function in human renal epithelial cells and in C57Bl/6J and BALB/cJ mice, as shown by the development of hypertension and impaired natriuretic response to agonist stimulation after an acute SNX1 depletion in the kidney. Thus, we elucidated the renal molecular mechanisms for these phenotypes in Snx1 -/- mice, which have congenital absence of SNX1. These mice have increased expression of glycosylated AT 1 R (123.8±2.1 vs . 100±2.0% in wild-type littermates, P 〈 0.05, Student’s t -test, n=5/group), a receptor with pro-oxidant and hypertensinogenic effects. We next determined the expression profiles of the components of the NADPH oxidase (NOX), an enzyme complex that is a major source of reactive oxygen species (ROS). We found an increased expression of renal NOX1 (153.4±12.2% vs . 100±4.1%, P 〈 0.05), NOX2 or gp91 phox (129.9±5.5% vs . 100±7.7%, P 〈 0.05), and p47 phox (118.2±2.7% vs . 100±5.0%, P 〈 0.05), suggesting increased oxidative stress in these mice. Interestingly, the Snx1 null mice have elevated renal D 5 R (142.9±4.7% vs . 100±6.8%, P 〈 0.05) and D 3 R (134.3±5.3% vs . 100 ± 1.6%, P 〈 0.05), receptors with anti-oxidant activity, as well as the antioxidant paraoxonase 2, perhaps as compensatory mechanisms; the loss of SNX1 impairs the function of D 5 R. To corroborate our findings, we treated the Snx1 -/- mice and controls with a 10-day renal infusion of apocynin, a drug that blocks NOX assembly by preventing p47 phox translocation to NOX2. Apocynin treatment resulted in the amelioration of systolic blood pressure (SBP) in Snx1 -/- mice (131.3±4.8 mm Hg to 105.7±1 mm Hg, P 〈 0.05). There was no difference in the SBP with vehicle treatment in both strains, or with apocynin in control mice. Basal NOX activity was higher in Snx1 -/- mice (169±12.8 units/mg protein/min vs . 100±13.3 in controls, P 〈 0.05), which was normalized by apocynin (99.4±16.5), while basal ROS levels were 2-fold higher in the Snx1 -/- mice (218.6±7.7 units/mg protein vs . 100±17.9, P 〈 0.05), which was also normalized by apocynin (125.8±20.4). Our data indicate that the hypertension in Snx1 -/- mice is due to impaired D 5 R activity, higher NOX expression and activity, and increased AT 1 R.
