Reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been implicated in the pathophysiology of renal ischemia/reperfusion injury. Endothelin-1 (ET-1) is generated in abundance in renal ischemia/reperfusion with resultant decreases in renal blood how and glomerular filtration rate. To determine if ROS regulate ET-1 production, the effect of ROS donors or scavengers on ET-1 protein and mRNA levels in cultured human mesangial cells was examined. Incubation with xanthine/xanthine oxidase, glucose oxidase, or H2O2 caused a dose-dependent rise in ET-1 release. Similarly, xanthine/xanthine oxidase or H2O2 augmented ET-1 mRNA levels. In contrast, the ROS scavengers dimethylthiourea (DMTU), dimethylpyrroline N-oxide, or pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate reduced basal ET-1 release, while DMTU lowered ET-1 mRNA levels. Deferoxamine, an iron chelator, also decreased basal ET-1 release. Superoxide dismutase potentiated the ET-1 stimulatory effect of xanthine/xanthine oxidase, while catalase abrogated the effect of xanthine/xanthine oxidase and H2O2. The effects of ROS were unrelated to changes in nitric oxide production or cytotoxicity. These data indicate that exogenously or endogenously-derived ROS can increase ET-1 production by human mesangial cells. While superoxide anion reduces ET-1 levels, H2O2 leads to enhanced production of the peptide. ROS stimulation of mesangial cell ET-1 production may contribute to impaired glomerular hemodynamics in the setting of renal ischemia/reperfusion injury.
