Description
Summary:Diabetes-induced glomerular hyperfiltration is an early alteration in kidney function in diabetes. Previous studies have shown that reduced adenosine A2 a receptor signaling contributes to diabetes-induced glomerular hyperfiltration. The present study investigated the effects of enhanced interstitial adenosine concentration by inhibition of cellular adenosine reuptake, thereby promoting endogenous adenosine signaling. Insulinopenic diabetes was induced by streptozotocin in adult male Sprague-Dawley rats. Two weeks after diabetes induction, kidney function in terms of glomerular filtration rate, and total, cortical, and medullary renal blood flows were evaluated under thiobutabarbital anesthesia during baseline and after renal artery infusion of two doses of the adenosine reuptake inhibitor dilazep. Dilazep did not affect mean arterial pressure indicating that the effects of the interventions were intrarenal. Diabetics had increased glomerular filtration rate compared with controls and dilazep dose-dependently decreased glomerular filtration rate in diabetics, whereas it had no significant effect in controls. Dilazep increased cortical renal blood flows in controls, whereas medullary blood flow was not significantly changed. Dilazep did not affect total renal blood flow in any of the groups but decreased cortical blood flow in diabetics, resulting in decreased filtration fraction by dilazep in diabetics. Pretreatment with the adenosine A2a antagonist ZM241385 prevented intrarenal dilazep-mediated effects on glomerular filtration rate and filtration fraction in diabetics. In conclusion, enhancing intrarenal adenosine signaling by dilazep normalizes diabetes-induced glomerular hyperfiltration at least in part by activation of adenosine A2a receptors.
