HISTORY • Robert Tigerstedt and Per Bergman from Sweden in their seminal 1898 report, Niere und Kreislauf, described the prolonged vasopressor effects of crude rabbit kidney extracts. • Tigerstedt named the unidentified active substance “renin” on the basis of its organ of origin. Steven A. Atlas, MDJTheRenin-AngiotensinAldosterone System: Pathophysiological Role and Pharmacologic Inhibition J Manag Care Pharm. 2007;13(8)(suppl S-b):S9-S20
Goldblatt and colleagues, published in 1934, that showed that renal ischemia induced by clamping of the renal artery could induce hypertension. • Ischemic kidney also released a heat-stable, short-lived pressor substance, in addition to renin. • This finding eventually led to the recognition that renin’spressor activity was indirect and resulted from its proteolytic action on a plasma substrate (eventually termed “angiotensinogen”) to liberate a direct-acting pressor peptide. • This peptide was initially termed “angiotonin” or “hypertensin” by Page & colleagues(US) • Ultimately named “angiotensin” by Braun-Menendez & colleagues(ARGENTINA) Steven A. Atlas, MDJTheRenin-AngiotensinAldosterone System: Pathophysiological Role and Pharmacologic Inhibition J Manag Care Pharm. 2007;13(8)(suppl S-b):S9-S20
In the early 1950s, during attempts at purification, Skeggs & colleagues discovered that this peptide existed in 2 forms, eventually termed Ang I and II. In later work, they demonstrated that Ang I was cleaved by a contaminating plasma enzyme,termed “angiotensin-converting enzyme,” to generate the active pressor peptide Ang II. • Laragh, Genest, Davis, Ganong, and their colleagues, culminated in the discovery that Ang II also stimulated the release of the adrenal cortical hormone aldosterone Steven A.

ANGIOTENSINOGEN • The primary source of systemic circulating angiotensinogen is the liver particularly the pericentral zone of the hepatic lobules. • It is coded by a single gene, composed of five exons and four introns, that spans approximately13 kb of genomic sequence on chromosome 1 (1q42-q43). • Also detected in many other tissues, including kidney, brain, heart, vascular, adrenal gland, ovary, placenta, and adipose tissue • Rise in response to glucocorticoids, estrogens and other sex steroids, thyroid hormone, inflammatory cytokines (e.g., interleukin-1 and tumor necrosis factor), and Ang II.

RENIN • Glycoprotein (Mw 37,326) • Renin gene located in CHR.1 • Synthesized from preprorenin • Mature active renin is an aspartyl protease secreted by juxtaglomerular cells Richard E. Gilbert, David S. Game, and Andrew Advani:BRENNERS TEXTBOOK OF NEPHROLOGY;2010;12;384-385
JUXTAGLOMERULAR APPARATUS • The Juxtaglomerular Apparatus consists of: • The juxtaglomerular cells (2) The macula densa (3) The lacis cells or agranular cells
RENIN -SYNTHESIS PREPRORENIN( 406 aminoacid) PRORENIN (383 aminoacid) RENIN (340 aminoacid) Renin is also synthesized In brain, adrenal gland, ovary, visceral adipose tissue, heart and vasculature Half life of renin is 80 mt Only action of renin is conversion of angiotensinogen to angiotensin I
REGULATION OF RENIN • Active renin secretion is regulated principally by 4 interdependent factors: • (1) A renal baroreceptor mechanism in the afferent arteriole that senses changes in renal perfusion pressure, • (2) Changes in delivery of NaCl to the macula densa cells of the distal tubule • (3) Sympathetic nerve stimulation via beta-1 adrenergic receptors • (4) Negative feedback by a direct action of Ang II on the JG cells. HAYO CASTROP, KLAUS HO ¨ CHERL, ARMIN KURTZ, FRANK SCHWEDA, VLADIMIR TODOROV, AND CHARLOTTE WAGNER; Physiology of Kidney Renin: Physiol Rev 90: 607–673, 2010;
REGULATION OF RENIN SECRETION • 1.INTRARENAL MECHANISM • Renal baroreceptor mechanism • Renin secretion increases as the blood pressure falls below 90mmhg • The precise mechanism , how the pressure signal is transduced into renin release is still unknown, although postulated mediators include stretch-activated calcium channels, endothelins, and prostaglandins • JG cells are strongly electrically coupled to the neighboring cells of the afferent arteriole . • Interestingly, their resting membrane potential changes in situ from -60 to -80 mV in nonpressurizedarterioles to approximately -40 mV in pressurized arterioles • Since the depolarization of JG cells is accompanied by the suppression of renin release, the depolarization in response to an increase in perfusion pressure might directly or indirectly contribute to the known pressure-dependent inhibition of renin secretion HAYO CASTROP ET AL; Physiology of Kidney Renin: Physiol Rev 90: 607–673, 2010;
2.NEURAL CONTROL • The JGA is endowed with a rich network of noradrenergic nerve endings and their β1 receptors • Stimulation of the renal sympathetic nerve activity leads to renin secretion that is independent of changes in renal blood flow, glomerular filtration rate (GFR), or Na+ resorption • Moreover, this effect can be blocked surgically by denervationand pharmacologically by the administration of β blockers
3.TUBULAR CONTROL • Chronic diminution in luminal NaCl delivery to the macula densa is a potent stimulus for renin secretion • This mechanism is thought to account for the chronically high plasma renin activity (PRA) in subjects who adhere to a low-salt diet • The initial step of the MD-dependent control of renin secretion is the detection of the NaCl concentration in the tubular lumen by the MD cells.

PRORENIN • Traditionally, prorenin was considered the inactive precursor of renin • The Current studies implicate prorenin and renin as direct cardiac and renal toxins • Prorenin is inactive because a 43–amino acid hinge is closed and prevents it from binding to angiotensInogen • Prorenin & renin levels increased by ACE inhibitor , ARB , DRI Richard E. Gilbert, David S. Game, and Andrew Advani:BRENNERS TEXTBOOK OF NEPHROLOGY;2010;12;384-385
PRORENIN RECEPTOR • The kidneys convert inactive prorenin to active renin by enzymatic cleavage of this inhibitory hinge region • When circulating prorenin binds to a newly discovered (pro)renin receptor in the heart and kidneys, the hinge is opened (but not cleaved), and this nonenzymatic process fully activates prorenin Direct Renin Inhibition: Focus on Aliskiren James L. Pool, MD JMCP October 2007 Vol. 13, No. 8, S-b
RENIN/PRORENIN RECEPTOR • The existence of high-affinity cell surface receptors that bind both renin and prorenin in several tissues, including heart, brain placenta, and kidney but its significance still unknown • The binding of renin to its receptor resulted in a fivefold increase in the catalytic activity compared with renin in solution • The binding of pro-renin to the receptor increased its enzymatic activity from virtually zero to values comparable to those of active renin in solution • Activation of the (pro)renin receptor increases TGF-β production, leading to collagen deposition and fibrosis Direct Renin Inhibition: Focus on Aliskiren James L. Pool, MD JMCP October 2007 Vol. 13, No. 8, S-b
ACE • ACE is responsible for the cleavage of Ang I to form the octapeptideAng II • ACE cleaves bradykinin into inactive fragments • Human ACE in encoded by a single gene located on chromosome 17 • The majority (∼90%) of ACE activity in the body is found in tissues; the remaining 10% of ACE activity is found in a soluble (non–membrane bound) form in the interstitium of the heart and vessel wall • It is seen pulmonary vascular endothelium, endothelium of vasculature ,cell membrane of heart , kidneys & brain
ACE 2 • ACE2 represents a zinc metalloprotease with carboxypeptidase activity that shares 42% identity with the catalytic site of somatic ACE and can be shed from cells • ACE2 can convert ANGII to ANG 1-7 & ANG I to ANG 1-9 • Preferable physiological substrate for ACE2 seems to be ANG II • The expression of ACE2 is (in comparison with ACE) relatively restricted to cardiac blood vessels and tubular epithelia of the kidneys • ACE 2 cannot hydrolyze bradykinin and is not inhibited by ACE inhibitors • Actual function and significance is still unknown • ACE2 is the functional receptor for coronavirus associated with the acute respiratory syndrome, i.e., SARS
