Nitric oxide enhancement of erythropoietin production in the isolated perfused rat kidney

We have previously reported that nitric oxide (NO) and guanosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cGMP) may be involved in the regulation of erythropoietin (Epo) production in response to hypoxia both in vivo and in vitro (20). In the present studies, we have used the isolated perfused rat kidney to assess the role of NO in oxygen sensing and Epo production. When arterial PO2 was reduced from 100 mmHg (normoxemic) to 30 mmHg (hypoxemic) in the perfusate of this system, perfusate levels of Epo were significantly increased. This hypoxia-induced increase in Epo production was significantly decreased by the addition of NG-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME; 1 mM) to the perfusates. Hypoxemic perfusion also produced a significant increase, and L-NAME significantly inhibited this increase, in intracellular cGMP levels in the kidney when compared with normoxemic perfused kidneys. Quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction also revealed that hypoxemic perfusion produced significant increases in Epo mRNA levels in the kidney, which was blocked by L-NAME. Our findings further support an important role for the NO/cGMP system in hypoxic regulation of Epo production.
