The present study evaluated the influence and mechanism of action of dietary protein intake in Dahl SS hypertension and renal disease. Rats were fed isocaloric diets with low (6%), normal (18%), or high (30%) amounts of protein and 0.4% NaCl from 5 to 12 weeks of age; the NaCl content of the diets was then increased to 4.0% NaCl from 12 to 15 weeks of age. Rats fed the high protein diet developed the highest MAP and urine albumin to creatinine ratio when fed the 4.0% NaCl diet (153±7 mmHg and 8.0±2.4, respectively) compared to rats fed normal (132±3 mmHg, 1.2±0.3) or low protein diets (132±6mmHg, 0.3±0.1). Significantly greater numbers of infiltrating T-lymphocytes were observed in kidneys of SS rats fed the high protein diet (18.9 ± 3 × 105 cells) than in rats fed the low protein diet (9.1 ± 3 × 105 cells). Furthermore, treatment of SS rats fed the high protein diet with the immunosuppressant agent mycophenolate mofetil (20mg/kg/day, ip) significantly reduced the number of infiltrating T cells in the kidneys (from 18.9 ± 2.7 to 10.6 ± 2.0 × 105 cells) while decreasing blood pressure (from 133 ± 3 to 113 ± 4 mmHg) and the albumin/creatinine ratio (from 10.9 ± 2.3 to 5.4 ± 1.2). These results demonstrate that restriction of protein intake protects the Dahl SS from hypertension and kidney disease and indicates that infiltrating immune cells play a pathological role in Dahl SS rats fed a high protein diet. Moreover, the results show that hypertension in Dahl SS rats is sensitive to both NaCl and protein intake.
