Alterations in renal Na+K+ATPase activity and [3H]ouabain binding in Goldblatt hypertensive rabbits.
To evaluate the role of renal Na+K+ATPase in the presence of Goldblatt hypertension, the enzyme activity and [3H]ouabain binding were examined in cortical and medullary homogenates from two-kidney, one clip (2K1C), one-kidney, one clip (1K1C), unilaterally nephrectomized and normal rabbits. Four weeks after the surgery, systolic blood pressures (SBPs) of 2K1C and 1K1C rabbits were increased significantly to 128 +/- 3 and 129 +/- 2 mmHg, respectively. In contrast, SBPs in the normal controls and unilateral nephrectomized (1K) animals were 83 +/- 2 and 86 +/- 3 mmHg, respectively. In the 2K1C rabbits, atrophy (91%) occurred in the kidney on the ischaemic side and hypertrophy (110%) occurred in the contralateral kidney. Na+K+ATPase activity and number of [3H]ouabain binding sites were reduced in the homogenates of the ischaemic kidney of 2K1C rabbits. In the 1K1C rabbits, marked hypertrophy of the kidney (155%) occurred, and the activity of Na+K+ATPase and the number of [3H]ouabain binding sites increased slightly in the cortex and medulla, compared with the normal controls. 5'-Nucleotidase, a plasma membrane marker enzyme, remained unchanged in both groups of hypertensive rabbits. Dissociation constant (KD) values for [3H]ouabain binding did not differ significantly in the renal homogenates of of 2K1C and 1K1C, compared with findings in the normal controls. The inhibitory activity of plasma was measured by studying [3H]ouabain binding to Na+K+ATPase of renal tubular basolateral membrane vesicles purified by Percoll gradient. The inhibition was more pronounced with plasma from 2K1C, 1K1C and 1K rabbits than from the control animals. Our findings suggest that in the Goldblatt hypertensive model, changes in Na+K+ATPase activity were due to alterations in glomerular filtration rate (GFR).
