Background: Prostaglandin I(2) (PGI(2)) produced by endothelial cells improves ischemia/reperfusion-induced acute renal injury by inhibiting leukocyte activation in rats. However, the underlying mechanism(s) of increased PGI(2)., production is not fully understood. Activation of sensory neurons increases endothelial PGI(2) production by releasing calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) in rats with hepatic ischemia or reperfusion. We examined here whether activation of sensory neurons increases PGI(2) endothelial production, thereby reducing ischemia/reperfusion-induced acute renal injury.Methods: Anesthetized rats were subjected to 45 min of renal ischemia/reperfusion. Rats were pretreated with CGRP, capsazepine (a vanilloid receptor-1 antagonist), CGRP(8-37) (it CGRP receptor antagonist), or indomethacin a cyclooxygenase inhibitor or subjected to denervation of primary sensory nerves before ischemia/reperfusion.Results: Renal tissue levels of CGRP and 6-keto-prostaglandin F(1 alpha), a stable metabolite of PGI(2), increased after renal ischemia/reperfusion. peaking at 1 h after reperfusion. Overexpression of CGRP was also noted at 1 h after reperfusion. Increases in renal tissue levels of 6-keto-prostaglandin F(1 alpha) at 1 h after reperfusion were significantly inhibited by pretreatment with capsazepine. CGRP(8-37)). and indomethacin. Pretreatment with capsazepine. CGRP(8-37). indomethacin, and denervation of primary sensory nerves significantly increased blood urea nitrogen and serum creatinine levels, renal vascular permeability, renal tissue levels (of myeloperoxidase activity, cytokine-induced neutrophil chemoattractant, and minor necrosis factor-alpha. and decreased renal tissue blood flow. However, pretreatment with CGRP significantly improved these changes.Conclusions: our results suggest activation of sensory neurons in the pathologic process of ischemia/reperfusion-induced acute renal injury. Such activation reduces acute renal injury by attenuating inflammatory responses through enhanced endothelial PGI(2) production.
