We recently shown that α, β, and γ splice variants of neuronal nitric oxide synthase (NOS1) expressed in the macula densa and NOS1β accounts for most of the NO generation. We have also demonstrated that the mice with deletion of NOS1 specifically from the macula densa developed salt-sensitive hypertension. However, the global NOS1KO strain is not hypertensive nor salt-sensitive. This global NOS1KO strain is actually a NOS1αKO model. Consequently, we hypothesized that inhibition of NOS1β in NOS1αKO mice induces salt-sensitive hypertension. NOS1αKO and C57BL/6 WT mice were implanted with telemetry transmitters and divided into 7-nitroindazole (7-NI) (10mg/kg/day)-treated and non-treated groups. All of the mice were fed a normal salt (0.4% NaCl) diet for 5 days, followed by a high salt diet (4%NaCl). NO generation by the macula densa was inhibited by over 90% in WT and NOS1αKO mice treated with 7-NI. GFR in conscious mice was increased by about 40% following a high salt diet in both NOS1αKO and WT mice. In response to acute volume expansion, GFR, diuretic and natriuretic response were significantly blunted in the WT and KO mice treated with 7-NI. Mean arterial pressure had no significant changes in mice fed a high salt diet, but increased about 15 mmHg similarly in NOS1αKO and WT mice treated with 7-NI. We conclude that NOS1β, but not NOS1α plays an important role in control of sodium excretion and hemodynamics in response to either an acute or a chronic salt loading.
