These experiments were designed to test whether changing perfusate calcium or magnesium concentrations affected renin release in the isolated perfused rat kidney, and whether kidneys removed from sodium-loaded or sodium-deprived rats released the same amount of renin in response to identical stimuli. Kidneys were perfused with Kreb-Henseleit solution containing albumin. Renin release was inversely related to perfusate calcium concentration, whereas renin release was directly related to perfusate magnesium. Although a low calcium medium or low perfusion pressure (50 mmHg) stimulated renin release, the release was substantially greater in the sodium-deprived rats. Increasing the perfusate sodium concentration from 85 to 206 mM increased excretion, but did not alter renin release. It is concluded that a) low perfusate calcium and high magnesium concentrations stimulate renin release, b) kidneys removed from sodium-deprived rats released substantially more renin thatn those from sodium-loaded rats, and c) changing perfusate sodium concentration alters sodium excretion, but does not affect renin release.

We have previously reported that nitric oxide (NO) and guanosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cGMP) may be involved in the regulation of erythropoietin (Epo) production in response to hypoxia both in vivo and in vitro (20). In the present studies, we have used the isolated perfused rat kidney to assess the role of NO in oxygen sensing and Epo production. When arterial PO2 was reduced from 100 mmHg (normoxemic) to 30 mmHg (hypoxemic) in the perfusate of this system, perfusate levels of Epo were significantly increased. This hypoxia-induced increase in Epo production was significantly decreased by the addition of NG-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME; 1 mM) to the perfusates. Hypoxemic perfusion also produced a significant increase, and L-NAME significantly inhibited this increase, in intracellular cGMP levels in the kidney when compared with normoxemic perfused kidneys. Quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction also revealed that hypoxemic perfusion produced significant increases in Epo mRNA levels in the kidney, which was blocked by L-NAME. Our findings further support an important role for the NO/cGMP system in hypoxic regulation of Epo production.
