https://www.selleckchem.com/products/Everolimus(RAD001).html Chronic kidney disease contributes to hypertension, but the mechanisms are incompletely understood. To address this, we applied the 5/6th nephrectomy rat model to characterize hypertension and the response to dietary salt and renin-angiotensin inhibition. 5/6th nephrectomy caused low-renin, salt-sensitive hypertension with hyperkalemia and unsuppressed aldosterone. Compared with sham rats, 5/6th nephrectomized rats had lower Na+/H+ exchanger isoform 3, Na+-K+-2Cl- cotransporter, Na+-Cl- cotransporter, α-epithelial Na+ channel (ENaC), and Kir4.1 levels but higher serum and glucocorticoid-regulated kinase 1, prostasin, γ-ENaC, and Kir5.1 levels. These differences correlated with plasma renin, aldosterone, and/or K+. On a normal-salt diet, adrenalectomy (0 ± 9 mmHg) and spironolactone (-11 ± 10 mmHg) prevented a progressive rise in blood pressure (10 ± 8 mmHg), and this was enhanced in combination with losartan (-41 ± 12 and -43 ± 9 mmHg). A high-salt diet caused skin Na+ and water accumulation and aggravated hyowever, only MR blockade attenuated hypertension. These results reiterate the importance of dietary salt restriction to maintain renin-angiotensin system inhibitor efficacy and specify the MR as a target in CKD.Serum and glucocorticoid-regulated kinase 1 (SGK1) stimulates aldosterone-dependent renal Na+ reabsorption and modulates blood pressure. In addition, genetic ablation or pharmacological inhibition of SGK1 limits the development of kidney inflammation and fibrosis in response to excess mineralocorticoid signaling. In this work, we tested the hypothesis that a systemic increase in SGK1 activity would potentiate mineralocorticoid/salt-induced hypertension and kidney injury. To that end, we used a transgenic mouse model with increased SGK1 activity. Mineralocorticoid/salt-induced hypertension and kidney damage was induced by unilateral nephrectomy and treatment with deoxycorticosterone acetate and N
