Endothelin-1 (0.005 and 0.01 nmol) induced a dose-dependent increase in perfusion pressure in the perfused rabbit kidney. These pressor effects were markedly reduced by an endothelin ETA receptor antagonist, BQ-123 (0.1 microM). Similarly, the release of prostacyclin triggered by intra-arterial infusion of endothelin-1 (10 nM) was significantly reduced in a concentration-dependent manner when the kidney was pretreated with BQ-123 (0.5-1 microM). In contrast, two selective ETB receptor agonists, BQ-3020 and IRL 1620, were found to be inactive, both as pressor agents and releasers of prostacyclin at doses (for the pressor effects) and concentrations (for the prostacyclin generation) 50-100 times higher than those of endothelin-1. BQ-123 (1 microM) did not modify the pressor or prostanoid-releasing properties of angiotensin II. These results confirm our previous observations suggesting that pressor responses and prostanoid release induced by endothelin-1 are mediated via the selective activation of ETA receptors in the perfused rabbit kidney.
