- W2117156673 abstract "Asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) is an endogenous inhibitor of nitric oxide synthase. ADMA is generated by protein methyltransferase (PRMT) and is metabolized mainly by dimethylarginine dimethylaminohydrolase (DDAH). ADMA levels are reported to increase in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), thereby playing a role in the pathogenesis of accelerated atherosclerosis in this population. However, the precise mechanism underlying ADMA accumulation in these patients is not fully understood. This study investigated the molecular mechanism for the elevation of ADMA levels in CKD, using a rat remnant kidney model that represents progressive CKD. After male Sprague-Dawley rats underwent baseline measurement of BP and renal function, 5/6 subtotal nephrectomy (5/6Nx) and 4/6 nephrectomy were performed. Plasma and urinary levels of ADMA and symmetric dimethylarginine, an inert isomer of ADMA, were measured by HPLC. Expression levels of PRMT genes and DDAH proteins were analyzed by semiquantitative reverse transcription–PCR and Western blotting, respectively. Plasma ADMA levels were elevated in the Nx groups in proportion to the degree of nephrectomy despite marked increases in renal clearance of ADMA. In contrast, renal clearance of symmetric dimethylarginine was decreased and its plasma levels were increased in the Nx groups. Furthermore, both liver and kidney gene expression of PRMT was increased, whereas DDAH protein expression was decreased in the 5/6Nx group. Plasma ADMA levels were correlated with systolic BP levels. Moreover, adenovirus-mediated DDAH gene transfer into the 5/6Nx rats prevented the elevation of BP levels, which was associated with the reduction of plasma and urinary ADMA levels. The results presented here suggest that decreased DDAH levels as well as increased PRMT gene expression could cause the elevation of plasma ADMA levels, thereby eliciting hypertension in CKD. Substitution of DDAH protein or enhancement of its activity may become a novel therapeutic strategy for the treatment of hypertension-related vascular injury in CKD." @default.
