Pathophysiological mechanisms underlying the development of renal dysfunction and progression of congestive heart failure (CHF) remain poorly understood. Recent studies have revealed striking differences in the role of epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs), active products of cytochrome P-450-dependent epoxygenase pathway of arachidonic acid, in the progression of aorto-caval fistula (ACF)-induced CHF between hypertensive Ren-2 renin transgenic rats (TGR) and transgene-negative normotensive Hannover Sprague-Dawley (HanSD) controls. Both ACF TGR and ACF HanSD strains exhibited marked intrarenal EETs deficiency and impairment of renal function, and in both strains chronic pharmacologic inhibition of soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) (which normally degrades EETs) normalized EETs levels. However, the treatment improved the survival rate and attenuated renal function impairment in ACF TGR only. Here we aimed to establish if the reported improved renal function and attenuation of progression of CHF in ACF TGR observed after she blockade depends on increased vasodilatory responsiveness of renal resistance arteries to EETs. Therefore, we examined the responses of interlobar arteries from kidneys of ACF TGR and ACF HanSD rats to EET-A, a new stable 14,15-EET analog. We found that the arteries from ACF HanSD kidneys rats exhibited greater vasodilator responses when compared to the ACF TGR arteries. Hence, reduced renal vasodilatory responsiveness cannot be responsible for the lack of beneficial effects of chronic sEH inhibition on the development of renal dysfunction and progression of CHF in ACF HanSD rats.

BACKGROUND: There is vast evidence that the renin-angiotensin system is not the sole determinant of blood pressure (BP) elevation in human renovascular hypertension or the relevant experimental models. This study tested the hypothesis that kidney deficiency of 20-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (20-HETE), a product of cytochrome P450 (CYP)-dependent ω-hydroxylase pathway of arachidonic acid metabolism, is important in the pathophysiology of the maintenance phase of 2-kidney, 1-clip (2K1C) Goldblatt hypertension. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In 2K1C Goldblatt rats with established hypertension, angiotensin II, angiotensin 1-7, 20-HETE concentrations and gene expression of CYP4A1 enzyme (responsible for 20-HETE formation) of the nonclipped kidney were determined. We examined if 14 days׳ administration of fenofibrate, a lipid-lowering drug, would increase CYP4A1 gene expression and renal 20-HETE formation, and if increased 20-HETE concentrations in the nonclipped kidney would decrease BP (telemetric measurements). RESULTS: CYP4A1 gene expression, 20-HETE and angiotensin 1-7 concentrations were lower and angiotensin II levels were higher in the nonclipped kidney of 2K1C rats than in sham-operated rats. Fenofibrate increased CYP4A1 gene expression and 20-HETE concentration in the nonclipped kidney and significantly decreased BP in 2K1C rats but did not restore it to normotensive range. The treatment did not change BP in sham-operated rats. CONCLUSIONS: Our results suggest that alterations in the RAS and CYP-dependent ω-hydroxylase metabolites of arachidonic acid in the nonclipped kidneys are both important in the pathophysiology of the maintenance phase of 2K1C Goldblatt hypertension. Therefore, fenofibrate treatment effectively attenuated hypertension, probably via stimulation of 20-HETE formation in the nonclipped kidney.

BACKGROUND: Small renal arteries have a significant role in the regulation of renal hemodynamics and blood pressure (BP). To study potential changes in the regulation of vascular function in hypertension, we examined renal vasodilatory responses of small arteries from nonclipped kidneys of the 2-kidney, 1-clip Goldblatt hypertensive rats to native epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs) that are believed to be involved in the regulation of renal vascular function and BP. A total of 2 newly synthesized EET analogues were also examined. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Renal interlobular arteries isolated from the nonclipped kidneys on day 28 after clipping were preconstricted with phenylephrine, pressurized and the effects of a 14,15-EET analogue, native 14,15-EET and 11,12-ether-EET-8ZE, an analogue of 11,12-EET, on the vascular diameter were determined and compared to the responses of arteries from the kidneys of sham-operated rats. RESULTS: In the arteries from nonclipped kidneys isolated in the maintenance phase of Goldblatt hypertension, the maximal vasodilatory response to 14,15-EET analogue was 30.1 ± 2.8% versus 49.8 ± 7.2% in sham-operated rats; the respective values for 11,12-ther-EET-8ZE were 31.4 ± 6.4% versus 80.4 ± 6%, and for native EETs they were 41.7 ± 6.6% versus 62.8 ± 4.4% (P ≤ 0.05 for each difference). CONCLUSIONS: We propose that reduced vasodilatory action and decreased intrarenal bioavailability of EETs combined with intrarenal angiotensin II levels that are inappropriately high for hypertensive rats underlie functional derangements of the nonclipped kidneys of 2-kidney, 1-clip Goldblatt hypertensive rats. These derangements could play an important role in pathophysiology of sustained BP elevation observed in this animal model of human renovascular hypertension.

The detailed mechanisms determining the course of congestive heart failure (CHF) and associated renal dysfunction remain unclear. In a volume overload model of CHF induced by creation of aorto-caval fistula (ACF) in Hannover Sprague-Dawley (HanSD) rats we explored the putative pathogenetic contribution of epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs), active products of CYP-450 dependent epoxygenase pathway of arachidonic acid metabolism, and compared it with the role of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS). Chronic treatment with cis-4-[4-(3-adamantan-1-yl-ureido) cyclohexyloxy]benzoic acid (c-AUCB, 3 mg/l in drinking water), an inhibitor of soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) which normally degrades EETs, increased intrarenal and myocardial EETs to levels observed in sham-operated HanSD rats, but did not improve the survival or renal function impairment. In contrast, chronic angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibition (ACEi, trandolapril, 6 mg/l in drinking water) increased renal blood flow, fractional sodium excretion and markedly improved survival, without affecting left ventricular structure and performance. Hence, renal dysfunction rather than cardiac remodeling determines long-term mortality in advanced stage of CHF due to volume overload. Strong protective actions of ACEi were associated with suppression of the vasoconstrictor/sodium retaining axis and activation of vasodilatory/natriuretic axis of the renin-angiotensin system in the circulating blood and kidney tissue.

This study examined the effects of a novel orally active 14,15-epoxyeicosatrienoic acid analog (EET-A) on blood pressure (BP) and myocardial infarct size (IS) in two-kidney, one-clip (2K1C) Goldblatt hypertensive rats during sustained phase of hypertension. Between days 31 and 35 after clip placement the rats were treated with EET-A and BP was monitored by radiotelemetry; sham-operated normotensive rats were used as controls. Tissue concentrations of epoxyeicosatrienoic acids served as a marker of production of epoxygenase metabolites. The rats were subjected to acute myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury and IS was determined. We found that EET-A treatment did not lower BP in 2K1C rats and did not alter availability of biologically active epoxygenase metabolites in 2K1C or in sham-operated rats. The myocardial IS was significantly smaller in untreated 2K1C rats as compared with normotensive controls and EET-A reduced it in controls but not in 2K1C rats. Our findings suggest that during the phase of sustained hypertension 2K1C Goldblatt hypertensive rats exhibit increased cardiac tolerance to I/R injury as compared with normotensive controls, and that in this animal model of human renovascular hypertension short-term treatment with EET-A does not induce any antihypertensive and cardioprotective actions.

Recent studies have shown that the long-term antihypertensive action of soluble epoxide hydrolase inhibition (sEH) in angiotensin-II (AngII)-dependent hypertension might be mediated by the suppression of intrarenal AngII levels. To test this hypothesis, we examined the effects of acute (2 days) and chronic (14 days) sEH inhibition on blood pressure (BP) in transgenic rats with inducible AngII-dependent hypertension. AngII-dependent malignant hypertension was induced by 10 days' dietary administration of indole-3-carbinol (I3C), a natural xenobiotic that activates the mouse renin gene in Cyp1a1-Ren-2 transgenic rats. BP was monitored by radiotelemetry. Acute and chronic sEH inhibition was achieved using cis-4-(4-(3-adamantan-1-yl-ureido)cyclohexyloxy) benzoic acid, given at doses of 0.3, 3, 13, 26, 60 and 130 mg/L in drinking water. At the end of experiments, renal concentrations of epoxyeicosatrienoic acids, their inactive metabolites dihydroxyeicosatrienoic acids and AngII were measured. Acute BP-lowering effects of sEH inhibition in I3C-induced rats was associated with a marked increase in renal epoxyeicosatrienoic acids to dihydroxyeicosatrienoic acids ratio and acute natriuresis. Chronic treatment with cis-4-(4-(3-adamantan-1-yl-ureido)cyclohexyloxy) benzoic acid in I3C-induced rats elicited dose-dependent persistent BP lowering associated with a significant reduction of plasma and kidney AngII levels. Our findings show that the acute BP-lowering effect of sEH inhibition in I3C-induced Cyp1a1-Ren-2 transgenic rats is mediated by a substantial increase in intrarenal epoxyeicosatrienoic acids and their natriuretic action without altering intrarenal renin-angiotensin system activity. Long-term antihypertensive action of cis-4-(4-(3-adamantan-1-yl-ureido)cyclohexyloxy) benzoic acid in I3C-induced Cyp1a1-Ren-2 transgenic rats is mediated mostly by suppression of intrarenal AngII concentration.

OBJECTIVE: The present study was performed to investigate in a model of malignant hypertension if the antihypertensive actions of soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) inhibition are nitric oxide (NO)-dependent. METHODS: ANG II-dependent malignant hypertension was induced through dietary administration for 3 days of the natural xenobiotic indole-3-carbinol (I3C) in Cyp1a1-Ren-2 transgenic rats. Blood pressure (BP) was monitored by radiotelemetry and treatment with the sEH inhibitor [cis-4-[4-(3-adamantan-1-yl-ureido)-cyclohexyl-oxy]-benzoic acid (c-AUCB)] was started 48 h before administration of the diet containing I3C. In separate groups of rats, combined administration of the sEH inhibitor and the nonspecific NO synthase inhibitor [Nω-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME)] on the course of BP in I3C-induced and noninduced rats were evaluated. In addition, combined blockade of renin-angiotensin system (RAS) was superimposed on L-NAME administration in separate groups of rats. After 3 days of experimental protocols, the rats were prepared for renal functional studies and renal concentrations of epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs) and their inactive metabolites dihydroxyeicosatrienoic acids (DHETEs) were measured. RESULTS: Treatment with c-AUCB increased the renal EETs/DHETEs ratio, attenuated the increases in BP, and prevented the decreases in renal function and the development of renal damage in I3C-induced Cyp1a1-Ren-2 rats. The BP lowering and renoprotective actions of the treatment with the sEH inhibitor c-AUCB were completely abolished by concomitant administration of L-NAME and not fully rescued by double RAS blockade without altering the increased EETs/DHETEs ratio. CONCLUSION: Our current findings indicate that the antihypertensive actions of sEH inhibition in this ANG II-dependent malignant form of hypertension are dependent on the interactions of endogenous bioavailability of EETs and NO.

OBJECTIVE: The present study was performed to examine whether the blood pressure (BP)-lowering effects of soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) inhibition in two-kidney, one-clip (2K1C) Goldblatt hypertension are nitric oxide (NO) dependent. METHODS: Mice lacking the endothelial NO synthase (eNOS) gene (eNOS-/-) and their wild-type controls (eNOS+/+) underwent clipping of one renal artery. BP was monitored by radiotelemetry and the treatment with the sEH inhibitor cis-4-[4-(3-adamantan-1-yl-ureido)cyclohex-yloxy]-benzoic acid (c-AUCB) was initiated on day 25 after clipping and lasted for 14 days. Renal concentrations of epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs) and their inactive metabolite dihydroxyeicosatrienoic acids (DHETs) were measured in the nonclipped kidney. Renal NO synthase (NOS) activity was determined by measuring the rate of formation of L-[(14)C]citruline from L-[(14)C]arginine. RESULTS: Treatment with the sEH inhibitor elicited similar BP decreases that were associated with increases in daily sodium excretion in 2K1C eNOS+/+ as well as 2K1C eNOS-/- mice. In addition, treatment with the sEH inhibitor increased the ratio of EETs/DHETs in the nonclipped kidney of 2K1C eNOS+/+ as well as 2K1C eNOS-/- mice. Treatment with the sEH inhibitor did not alter renal NOS activity in any of the experimental groups. CONCLUSIONS: Collectively, our present data suggest that the BP-lowering effects of chronic sEH inhibition in 2K1C mice are mainly associated with normalization of the reduced availability of biologically active EETs in the nonclipped kidney and their direct natriuretic actions.

In the present study, we examined the effects of soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) inhibition on the development of angiotensin II-dependent hypertension and on renal function in transgenic rats with inducible expression of the mouse renin gene (strain name Cyp1a1-Ren-2). Hypertension was induced in these rats by indole-3-carbinol (I3C; 0.3% in the diet) for 12 days. The sEH inhibitor cis-4-[4-(3-adamantan-1-yl-ureido)-cyclohexyloxy]-benzoic acid (c-AUCB) was given in two doses (13 or 26 mg l-1) in drinking water. Blood pressure (BP), body weight (BW) and renal excretory parameters were monitored in conscious animals during the experiment. Renal haemodynamics was assessed at the end of treatment in anaesthetized rats. I3C administration resulted in severe hypertension with a rise in systolic BP from 118 ± 2 to 202 ± 3 mmHg, a loss of BW from 266 ± 5 to 228 ± 4 g and a rise in proteinuria from 14 ± 2 to 34 ± 3 mg day-1. Both doses of c-AUCB significantly attenuated the development of hypertension (systolic BP of 181 ± 4 and 176 ± 4 mmHg, respectively), the loss in BW (256 ± 4 and 259 ± 3 g, respectively) and the degree of proteinuria (27 ± 2 and 25 ± 3 mg day-1, respectively) to a similar extent. Moreover, c-AUCB prevented the reduction in renal plasma flow (5.4 ± 0.4 vs. 4.6 ± 0.3 ml min-1 g-1) and significantly increased sodium excretion (0.84 ± 0.16 vs. 0.38 ± 0.08 μmol min-1 g-1) during I3C administration. These data suggest that the oral administration of c-AUCB displays antihypertensive effects in Ren-2 transgenic rats with inducible malignant hypertension via an improvement of renal function.

OBJECTIVE: In the present study, we compared the effects of treatment with the novel soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) inhibitor (c-AUCB) with those of the AT1 receptor antagonist losartan on blood pressure (BP), autoregulation of renal blood flow (RBF) and on glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and the pressure-natriuresis relationship in response to stepwise reduction in renal arterial pressure (RAP) in Cyp1a1-Ren-2 transgenic rats. METHODS: Hypertension was induced in Cyp1a1-Ren-2 rats through dietary administration for 11 days of the natural xenobiotic indole-3-carbinol (I3C) which activates the renin gene. Treatment with c-AUCB and losartan was started 48 h before initiating administration of the diet containing I3C. Rats were prepared for renal functional studies to evaluate in-vivo renal autoregulatory efficiency when RAP was gradually decreased by an aortic clamp. RESULTS: I3C administration resulted in the development of severe hypertension which was associated with markedly lower basal RBF and GFR and substantially impaired autoregulatory efficiency as well as a suppression of the pressure-natriuresis relationship when compared with noninduced rats. Treatment with c-AUCB significantly decreased BP, improved autoregulatory efficiency of RBF and GFR and the slope of pressure-natriuresis relationship. Treatment with losartan completely prevented the impaired autoregulation and pressure-natriuresis relationship as well as the development of hypertension in I3C-induced rats. CONCLUSION: Our present findings indicate that chronic treatment with the sEH inhibitor c-AUCB substantially attenuates the development of malignant hypertension in I3C-induced rats likely via improvement of the renal autoregulatory efficiency and the pressure-natriuresis relationship.
