Effect of intrarenally infused parathyroid hormone‐related protein on renal blood flow and glomerular filtration rate in the anaesthetized rat

1 Parathyroid hormone‐related protein (PTHrP) is expressed in the kidney and acts on vascular PTH/PTHrP receptors to vasodilate the isolated kidney and to stimulate renin release. However, effects of PTHrP on renal blood flow (RBF) and glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in vivo have not been assessed...

Zusammenfassung:1 Parathyroid hormone‐related protein (PTHrP) is expressed in the kidney and acts on vascular PTH/PTHrP receptors to vasodilate the isolated kidney and to stimulate renin release. However, effects of PTHrP on renal blood flow (RBF) and glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in vivo have not been assessed in the absence of its cardiac, peripheral and central effects. We investigated the renal effects of PTH and PTHrP infused into the left renal artery of anaesthetized rats. 2 Intrarenal infusions, adjusted to generate increasing concentrations of human PTHrP(1–34) and rat PTH(1–34) in renal plasma (2 × 10−11 to 6 × 10−9 m) produced a comparable dose‐dependent increase in RBF. The rise was 4% at the lowest and 34% at the highest concentrations of peptides. Up to a concentration of 2 × 10−9 m, mean arterial pressure (MAP) and heart rate were not affected, but at 6 × 10−9 m, intrarenally infused peptides reached the peripheral circulation, and caused a fall in MAP within a few minutes. While MAP returned to basal value after the last peptide infusion, RBF remained more than 10% above control for at least 30 min. 3 Two competitive PTH/PTHrP receptor antagonists, [Nle8,18, Tyr34]‐bPTH(3–34)amide and [Leu11, D‐Trp12]‐hPTHrP(7–34)amide (2 × 10−8 m) were devoid of agonist activity, but markedly antagonized the dose‐dependent increase in RBF elicited by PTHrP. 4 GFR and urine flow were measured in left PTHrP‐infused experimental kidney and right control kidney. Renal PTHrP concentration of 10−10 m elevated left RBF by 10%, and GFR by 20% without significantly increasing filtration fraction, and increased urine flow by 57%. In the right control kidney GFR and diuresis did not change. 5 The results indicate that PTHrP has similar renal haemodynamic effects as PTH and increases RBF, GFR and diuresis in anaesthetized rats.
