Nitric oxide (NO) has effects on renal blood flow, glomerular filtration rate, renin secretion, and renal sodium excretion. Four isoforms of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) have been cloned to date. However, the molecular identity of NOS present in the renal vasculature is unknown. Endothelial NOS (NOS-III) is regulated both acutely by cell calcium and chronically by shear stress. To determine if renal blood vessels and the glomerulus express NOS-III mRNA, we used degenerate polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to clone a portion of rat NOS-III. We then assayed NOS-III mRNA in microdissected renal structures by reverse transcriptase-PCR. NOS-III mRNA was expressed at high levels in glomeruli, arcuate vessels, and interlobular artery/afferent arterioles. NOS-III mRNA was detected inconsistently in proximal tubules, thick ascending limbs, and cortical and inner medullary collecting ducts. Previous studies have shown that chronic oral treatment with the NOS inhibitor N omega-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME) decreases NO synthesis and causes hypertension. To determine if the systemic blockade occurs only by competitive inhibition, we determined the effect of L-NAME on glomerular NOS-III mRNA. L-NAME administration (5 days) decreased NOS-III mRNA in the glomerulus to 25 +/- 12% of control levels. We conclude that endothelial NOS-III mRNA is preferentially expressed in the glomerulus and renal vasculature, where it can modulate renal blood flow and glomerular filtration rate. Furthermore, glomerular NOS-III may be modulated at the level of mRNA abundance in vivo by systemic L-NAME.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
