Salt-Dependent Inhibition of Epithelial Na+ Channel–Mediated Sodium Reabsorption in the Aldosterone-Sensitive Distal Nephron by Bradykinin
We have documented recently that bradykinin (BK) directly inhibits activity of the epithelial Na channel (ENaC) via the bradykinin B2 receptor (B2R)-Gq/11-phospholipase C pathway. In this study, we took advantage of mice genetically engineered to lack bradykinin receptors (B1R, B2R) to probe a physi...

Zusammenfassung: | We have documented recently that bradykinin (BK) directly inhibits activity of the epithelial Na channel (ENaC) via the bradykinin B2 receptor (B2R)-Gq/11-phospholipase C pathway. In this study, we took advantage of mice genetically engineered to lack bradykinin receptors (B1R, B2R) to probe a physiological role of BK cascade in regulation of ENaC in native tissue, aldosterone-sensitive distal nephron. Under normal sodium intake (0.32% Na), ENaC open probability (Po) was modestly elevated in B1R, B2R mice compared with wild-type mice. This difference is augmented during elevated Na intake (2.00% Na) and negated during Na restriction ( |
