Polycystic kidney disease (PKD), a monogenic disease with an autosomal dominant or an autosomal recessive form of inheritance (ARPKD), is the most common genetic cause of renal dysfunction and end stage renal failure. In addition to the development of cysts, the autosomal form of PKD is associated with vascular endothelial dysfunction, a marker of vascular disease. Whether vascular endothelial dysfunction is also present in ARPKD, and the relationship with renal dysfunction remains to be determined. ARPKD rats (PCK model) and controls were studied at 6 and 10 weeks of age, and mean arterial pressure (MAP) and renal function were measured. Aortic endothelial function was assessed using organ chamber techniques. Aortic endothelial cells (ECs) were isolated, characterized and their function studied. Compared to controls, ARPKD animals had a decrease in the vasorelaxation to endothelium-dependent vasodilators, even prior to changes in MAP or renal function. The abnormal vasoreactivity was corrected with L-arginine (precursor to nitric oxide), while the expression of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) was unchanged. Furthermore, isolated ECs from 6 week-old ARPKD animals showed increased oxidative stress, with preserved eNOS expression and abnormal patterns of migration and angiogenic capacity (measured by the scratch and tube formation assays, respectively). ARPKD leads to impaired aortic vascular function and ECs at an early stage, which can have significant functional consequences, potentially representing a novel therapeutic target in this disease.
