Abstract
The vasoconstrictor effect of hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) on isolated perfused rat kidney was investigated. H(2)O(2) induced vasoconstriction in the isolated rat kidney in a concentration-dependent manner. The vasoconstrictor effects of H(2)O(2) were completely inhibited by 1200 U/ml catalase. Endothelium-removal potentiated the renal response to H(2)O(2). The H(2)O(2) dose-response curve was not significantly modified by administration of the NO inhibitor L-NAME (10(-4) mol/l), whereas it was increased by the non-specific inhibitor of K+-channels, tetraethylammonium (3.10(-3) mol/l). Separately, removal of extracellular Ca(2+), administration of a mixture of calcium desensitizing agents (nitroprusside, papaverine, and diazoxide), and administration of a protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor (chelerythrine, 10(-5) mol/l) each significantly attenuated the vasoconstrictor response to H(2)O(2), which was virtually suppressed when they were performed together. The pressor response to H(2)O(2) was not affected by: dimethyl sulfoxide (7.10(-5) mol/l) plus mannitol (3.10(-5) mol/l); intracellular Ca(2+) chelation using BAPTA (10(-5) mol/l); calcium store depletion after repeated doses of phenylephrine (10(-5) g/g kidney); or the presence of indomethacin (10(-5) mol/l), ODYA (2.10(-6) mol/l) or genistein (10(-5) mol/l). We conclude that the vasoconstrictor response to H(2)O(2) in the rat renal vasculature comprises the following components: 1) extracellular calcium influx, 2) activation of PKC, and 3) stimulation of pathways leading to sensitization of contractile elements to calcium. Moreover, a reduced pressor responsiveness to H(2)O(2) in female kidneys was observed.
