UNASSIGNED: JGA-mediated homeostatic mechanism has been hypothesized based on investigations of tubuloglomerular feedback and renin-angiotensin system. We reviewed clinical trials of SGLT2is and tolvaptan to assess the relationship between this mechanism and these drugs.
UNASSIGNED: When sodium load to macula densa (MD) increases, MD increases adenosine production, constricting afferent arteriole (Af-art) and protecting glomeruli. Concurrently, MD signaling suppresses renin secretion, increases urinary sodium excretion, and counterbalances reduced sodium filtration. However, when there is marked increase in sodium load per-nephron, as in advanced CKD, MD adenosine production increases, relaxing Af-art and maintaining sodium homeostasis at the expense of glomeruli. The beneficial effects of tolvaptan on renal function in ADPKD may also depend on the JGA-mediated homeostatic mechanisms since tolvaptan inhibits sodium reabsorption in the thick ascending limb.The JGA-mediated homeostatic mechanism regulates Af-arts, constricting to relaxing according to homeostatic needs. Understanding this mechanism may contribute to the development of pharmacotherapeutic compounds and better care for patients with CKD.
■基于对肾小管肾小球反馈和肾素-血管紧张素系统的研究,假设了JGA介导的稳态机制。我们回顾了SGLT2is和托伐普坦的临床试验,以评估该机制与这些药物之间的关系。
■当钠对黄斑(MD)的负荷增加时,MD增加了腺苷的产生,收缩传入小动脉(Af-art)并保护肾小球。同时,MD信号抑制肾素分泌,增加尿钠排泄,和平衡减少钠过滤。然而,当每个肾单位的钠负荷明显增加时,与先进的CKD一样,MD腺苷产量增加,放松Af-art并以肾小球为代价维持钠稳态。托伐普坦对ADPKD中肾功能的有益作用也可能取决于JGA介导的稳态机制,因为托伐普坦抑制粗大的上行肢体中钠的重吸收。JGA介导的稳态机制调节Af-arts,根据体内平衡的需要收缩到放松。了解这种机制可能有助于药物治疗化合物的开发以及对CKD患者的更好护理。
