Kittikulsuth W, Pollock JS, Pollock DM. Loss of renal medullary endothelin B receptor function during salt deprivation is regulated by angiotensin II. Am J Physiol Renal Physiol 303: F659-F666, 2012. First published June 6, 2012; doi: 10.1152/ajprenal.00213.2012.-We have recently demonstrated that chronic infusion of exogenous ANG II, which induces blood pressure elevation, attenuates renal medullary endothelin B (ETB) receptor function in rats. Moreover, this was associated with a reduction of ETB receptor expression in the renal inner medulla. The aim of this present work was to investigate the effect of a physiological increase in endogenous ANG II (low-salt diet) on the renal ET system, including ETB receptor function. We hypothesized that endogenous ANG II reduces renal medullary ETB receptor function during low-salt intake. Rats were placed on a low-salt diet (0.01-0.02% NaCl) for 2 wk to allow an increase in endogenous ANG II. In rats on normal-salt chow, the stimulation of renal medullary ETB receptor by ETB receptor agonist sarafotoxin 6c (S6c) causes an increase in water (3.6 +/- 0.4 from baseline vs. 10.5 +/- 1.3 mu l/min following S6c infusion; P < 0.05) and sodium excretion (0.38 +/- 0.06 vs. 1.23 +/- 0.17 mu mol/min; P < 0.05). The low-salt diet reduced the ETB-dependent diuresis (4.5 +/- 0.5 vs. 6.1 +/- 0.9 mu l/min) and natriuresis (0.40 +/- 0.11 vs. 0.46 +/- 0.12 mu mol/min) in response to acute intramedullary infusion of S6c. Chronic treatment with candesartan restored renal medullary ETB receptor function; urine flow was 7.1 +/- 0.9 vs. 15.9 +/- 1.7 mu l/min (P < 0.05), and sodium excretion was 0.4 +/- 0.1 vs. 1.1 +/- 0.1 mu mol/min (P < 0.05) before and after intramedullary S6c infusion, respectively. Receptor binding assays determined that the sodium-depleted diet resulted in a similar level of ETB receptor binding in renal inner medulla compared with rats on a normal-salt diet. Candesartan reduced renal inner medullary ETB receptor binding (1,414 +/- 95 vs. 862 +/- 50 fmol/mg; P < 0.05). We conclude that endogenous ANG II attenuates renal medullary ETB receptor function to conserve sodium during salt deprivation independently of receptor expression.
