Abstract

Renal vascular resistance was compared in 2 groups of renal grafts: group 1-16 kidneys perfused with University of Wisconsin solution and group 2-16 kidneys perfused with Euro-Collins solution. Both groups had comparable donors and recipient criteria. Renal blood flow was measured by a miniaturized pulsed Doppler probe fixed on the graft renal artery. Renal vascular resistance was calculated either according to the formula: renal vascular resistance (mm. Hg/ml. per second) = systemic arterial pressure (P)/renal blood flow or through the renal vascular resistive index (RVRI): RVRI = systolic flow velocity - diastolic flow velocity/systolic flow velocity = (S-D)/S. Renal vascular resistance estimation seems to be more contributory than renal blood flow in assessment of renal graft reperfusion disorders. Our results show that University of Wisconsin solution seems to preserve intrarenal arterial caliber better with a decrease in intrarenal vascular resistance, thus, allowing for a higher arterial graft perfusion flow.

[Mechanism of renin release and cellular action of angiotensin II].

Renin-angiotensin (RA) system plays an important role in cardiovascular homeostasis. Here, we have described the recent progress in our study of renin release as well as the cellular action of angiotensin II. (1) Microdissection of an isolated afferent artery with or without macula densa (MD) has revealed that renin release is regulated by NaCl exposure to MD. Furosemide, prostaglandins (PGE2 and PGI2) and adenosine modulate its function. (2) Angiotensin (ang) II increases cytosolic free calcium and induces the formation of inositolphosphates in vascular smooth muscle cells. Deduced protein structure of ang II receptor (AT1-R) cDNA has indicated the presumed link of AT1-R with phospholipase C. Through the cellular action, ang II has been reported to regulate gene expression.

Effects of mono- and divalent ions on the binding of the adenosine analogue CGS 21680 to adenosine A2 receptors in rat striatum.

The effect of monovalent and divalent cations on equilibrium binding of the adenosine A2-selective agonist ligand CGS 21680 (2-[p-(2-carbonylethyl)phenylethylamino]-5'-N-ethylcarboxami doadenosine) to membranes prepared from rat striatum was examined. Competition experiments with cyclohexyladenosine, 2-chloroadenosine, N-ethylcarboxamidoadenosine and CGS 21680 suggest that at 2 nM [3H]CGS 21680 binds to a single site with the pharmacology of an A2a receptor. Magnesium and calcium ions caused a concentration-dependent increase in binding that reached about 10-fold at 100 mM. Manganese ions had a biphasic effect on binding with a maximal increase at 5 mM. Lithium, sodium and potassium ions all caused a concentration-dependent decrease of binding. Sodium was most potent, potassium least. At 200 mM ion concentration, the inhibition of binding was 88% by sodium, 47% by lithium and 29% by potassium ions. The effect of sodium chloride was the same as that of sodium acetate. The effect of sodium ions was essentially similar to that of Gpp(NH)p. However, sodium ions produced a larger effect than even maximally effective concentrations of Gpp(NH)p. The maximal inhibition by Gpp(NH)p was about 55% at 2 nM radioligand concentration irrespective of the magnesium concentration. The maximal effect of sodium ions was reduced by increasing concentrations of magnesium ions. Increasing magnesium ion concentration from 1 to 100 mM increased the half-maximally effective concentration of Gpp(NH)p almost 10-fold and that of sodium ions less than 2-fold. Furthermore, sodium ions and Gpp(NH)p had additive effects. The binding of an agonist to striatal A2a receptors shows an unusually large dependence on both divalent and monovalent cations that can only partly be explained by a change in the coupling to Gs proteins.

In vivo chemical footprinting of the Escherichia coli ribosome.

We have studied the in vivo chemical accessibility of 16S rRNA residues A349-G1505 in the small subunit of the Escherichia coli ribosome. Exponentially growing E. coli cultures were reacted with dimethyl sulfate, and the reactive sites on the 16S ribosomal RNA were analyzed by reverse transcription, an assay which detects reactions at N1-A and N3-C. In agreement with previous in vitro results, three regions of 16S RNA appeared particularly reactive to dimethyl sulfate: hairpin 27 (residues A892-A915) of the central domain, and hairpin 33-33A (residues A994-C1037) and the tip of hairpin 41 (residues A1256-A1275), both from the 3' major domain. These three regions contained 52% of the reactive residues but only 8% of the residues scanned. In contrast to previous in vitro results, three small sections of 16S RNA appeared protected: the tip of hairpins 26 (residue A845) and 31 (residues A968-A969), and residues A1418, A1441, and A1483 of the middle body of hairpin 44. Four of the dimethyl sulfate reactive sites (A831, C948, A1019, and C1192) are located in positions usually assumed to be double-stranded (helices 26, 30, 33-33A, and 34), which suggests alternative structures for these helices at least during part of the translation process, as if the residues in question belonged to "conformational switches." The addition of chloramphenicol protected residues A831, A1035-A1036, and A1503, which suggests that they belong to the mobile regions of the elongating ribosome, and become exposed during some transition(s) from one ribosomal state to the other during the elongation cycle.
