We have recently documented that Bradykinin (BK) directly inhibits activity of the Epithelial Na+ Channel (ENaC) via B2R-Gq/11-PLC pathway. In this study, we took advantage of mice genetically engineered to lack bradykinin receptors (B1R,B2R-/-) to probe a physiological role of BK cascade in regulation of ENaC in native tissue, aldosterone-sensitive distal nephron (ASDN). Under normal sodium intake (0.32%Na+), ENaC open probability (Po) was modestly elevated in B1R,B2R-/- mice compared to WT mice. This difference is augmented during elevated Na+ intake (2%Na+) and negated during Na+ restriction (<0.01%Na+). Saturation of systemic mineralocorticoid status with deoxycorticosterone acetate (DOCA) similarly increased ENaC activity in both mouse strains suggesting that the effect of BK on ENaC is independent of aldosterone. It is accepted that angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) represents the major pathway of BK degradation. Systemic inhibition of ACE with captopril (30 mg/kgBW for 7 days) significantly decreases ENaC activity and Po in WT mice but this effect is diminished in B1R,B2R-/- mice. At the cellular level, acute captopril (100 μM) treatment sensitized BK signaling cascade and greatly potentiated the inhibitory effect of 100 nM BK on ENaC. We concluded that BK cascade has its own specific role in blunting ENaC activity particularly under conditions of elevated sodium intake. Augmentation of BK signaling in the ASDN inhibits ENaC-mediated Na+-reabsorption contributing to the natriuretic and antihypertensive effects of ACE inhibition.
