Abstract:
Acute hyperglycemia is a risk factor for developing acute kidney injury and poor renal outcome in critically ill patients, whereby the role of renal vasculature remains unclear. We hypothesize that hyperglycemia-associated hyperosmolarity facilitates vasodilation through Piezo1-mediated eNOS (endothelial NO synthase) activation. METHODS: Vasoreactivity was analyzed using wire myography in isolated mouse mesenteric arteries and renal interlobar, and using microvascular perfusion in renal afferent arterioles and efferent arterioles, and vasa recta. Immunofluorescence and Western blot were used for molecular analyses of isolated mouse blood vessels and human umbilical vein endothelial cells. RESULTS: Pretreatment with hyperglycemia (44 mmol/L glucose; 4 hours) increased acetylcholine-induced relaxation in interlobar arteries and mesenteric arteries, which was prevented by eNOS inhibition using Nω-nitro-L-arginine methylester hydrochloride. Hyperosmotic mannitol solution had a similar effect. Hyperglycemia induced an immediate, Nω-nitro-L-arginine methylester hydrochloride–inhibitable dilation in afferent arterioles, efferent arterioles, and vasa recta, whereby stronger dilation in afferent arterioles compared to efferent arterioles. Hyperglycemia also increased glomerular filtration rate in mice. In human umbilical vein endothelial cells, hyperglycemia, and the Piezo1 activator Yoda-1 increased levels of Piezo1 protein, p-CaMKII (phosphorylated Ca 2+ /Calmodulin-dependent protein kinase type II), Akt (protein kinase B), and p-eNOS (phosphorylated eNOS). The hyperglycemia effect could be prevented by inhibiting Piezo1 using GsMTx4 ( Grammostola spatulata mechanotoxin 4) and CaMKII using KN93 (N-[2-[[[3-(4-Chlorophenyl)-2-propenyl]-methylamino] -methyl]-phenyl] -N-(2-hydroxyethyl)-4-methoxybenzenesulphonamide). Furthermore, in arteries and microvessels, inhibition of Piezo1 using GsMTx4 prevented the hyperglycemia –effect, while Yoda-1 caused relaxation and dilation, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Results reveal that Piezo1 mediates renal vasodilation induced by hyperosmolarity in acute hyperglycemia. This mechanism may contribute to the pathogenesis of renal damage by acute hyperglycemia.
