Alpha 1-antitrypsin mitigates salt-sensitive hypertension in juvenile mice by reducing diacylglycerol concentrations and protein kinase C activity in kidney membranes by Yunus E. Dogan, Yunus E. Dogan, Yunus E. Dogan, Niharika Bala, Niharika Bala, Erika S. Galban, Erika S. Galban, Russell L. Lewis, Nancy D. Denslow, Sihong Song, Abdel A. Alli, Abdel A. Alli

“…PKC activity was less in the 129Sv mice that received hAAT compared to vehicle. Western blotting and immunohistochemistry analysis showed the density of the sodium-potassium-chloride co-transporter (NKCC2) was significantly reduced in kidney cortex membrane fractions of juvenile mice that received hAAT compared to vehicle.ConclusionTaken together, this study demonstrates a new protective effect of hAAT in normalizing blood pressure after the development of saltinduced hypertension in juvenile mice in a mechanism involving a decrease in NKCC2 membrane expression, presumably due to decreased levels of DAGs in the plasma membrane and a subsequent decrease in PKC activity.…”
