The Dahl salt-sensitive rat is a widely used model of human salt-sensitive forms of hypertension. The kidney plays an important role in the pathogenesis of Dahl salt-sensitive hypertension, but the molecular mechanisms involved remain a subject of intensive investigation. Gene expression profiling studies suggested that 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 might be dysregulated in the renal medulla of Dahl salt-sensitive rats. Additional analysis confirmed that renal medullary expression of 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 was downregulated by a high-salt diet in SS-13BN rats, a consomic rat strain with reduced blood pressure salt sensitivity, but not in Dahl salt-sensitive rats. 11β-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 is known to convert inactive 11-dehydrocorticosterone to active corticosterone. The urinary corticosterone/11-dehydrocorticosterone ratio as well as urinary excretion of corticosterone was higher in Dahl salt-sensitive rats than in SS-13BN rats. Knockdown of renal medullary 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 with small-interfering RNA attenuated the early phase of salt-induced hypertension in Dahl salt-sensitive rats and reduced urinary excretion of corticosterone. Knockdown of 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 did not affect blood pressure in SS-13BN rats. Long-term attenuation of salt-induced hypertension was achieved with small hairpin RNA targeting renal medullary 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1. In summary, we have demonstrated that suppression of 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 expression in the renal medulla attenuates salt-induced hypertension in Dahl salt-sensitive rats.

Aim. To determine the diagnostic value of urinary excretion of type IV collagen in patients with type 1 diabetes with different stages of nephropathy.Methods. Urinary type IV collagen was determined in 60 patients with type 1 diabetes (23 with normal albuminuria, 28 with microalbuminuriaand 9 with macroalbuminuria) by an enzyme immunoassay. 10 healthy individuals were acted as the control group. Renal biopsy was performedin 22 patients. Deposits of type IV collagen were revealed by 11 individuals by immunohistochemistry. Results. The urinary excretion of type IV collagen increased with severety of diabetic nephropathy, correlating with the urinary albumin/creatinineratio, serum creatinine and parameters of daytime and nighttime systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Patients with excessive accumulation of typeIV collagen in the glomeruli had significantly higher level of type IV collagen in the urine. Conclusion. The determination of urinary type IV collagen can be used for early detection of renal fibrosis in patients with type 1 diabetes.
