Abstract

Arginine vasopressin (AVP) induces exaggerated intracellular free calcium (Cai2+) responses in preglomerular smooth muscle cells from young spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) due to increased density of the AVP V1areceptor. The intention of the present paper was to examine the relative contribution of afferent arterioles (AA) and interlobular artery (ILA) in AVP- and norepinephrine-induced calcium signaling. The kidneys were perfused with agar solution in vivo, and thin cortical slices were enzyme digested to produce isolated agar-filled vascular fragments. Calcium responses were recorded in fura 2-loaded cells by Ca2+imaging. Diameter changes were measured after AVP stimulation and mRNA for V1awas measured on isolated vessel fragments. SHR had a significantly higher baseline calcium ratio and lower resting diameter compared with normotensive Wistar-Kyoto rats (WKY). Stimulation with AVP (10−7M) in ILA fragments from SHR induced a ratio increase of 0.49 ± 0.09, significantly higher than the ratio increase in AA from SHR (0.20 ± 0.03, P < 0.01) and in ILA from WKY (0.24 ± 0.03, P < 0.01). Stimulation with norepinephrine (10−7M) induced responses homogeneously distributed between the segments and strains. Nifedipine treatment or removal of external calcium (Cao2+) reduced the norepinephrine-induced peak response. Both norepinephrine- and AVP-induced sustained responses were abolished after Cao2+ removal in SHR and WKY ( P < 0.01). Measurements of V1areceptor mRNA on isolated segments showed a threefold increase in ILA from SHR. The present findings indicate that the exaggerated Ca2+and contractile response to AVP in SHR is mainly mediated through ILA vasoconstriction.
