Abstract
Renal aging is characterized by structural changes in the kidney including fibrosis, which contributes to the increased risk of kidney and cardiac failure in the elderly. Studies involving healthy kidney donors demonstrated subclinical age-related nephropathy on renal biopsy that was not detected by standard diagnostic tests. Thus there is a high-priority need for novel noninvasive biomarkers to detect the presence of preclinical age-associated renal structural and functional changes. C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) possesses renoprotective properties and is present in the kidney; however, its modulation during aging remains undefined. We assessed circulating and urinary CNP in a Fischer rat model of experimental aging and also determined renal structural and functional adaptations to the aging process. Histological and electron microscopic analysis demonstrated significant renal fibrosis, glomerular basement membrane thickening, and mesangial matrix expansion with aging. While plasma CNP levels progressively declined with aging, urinary CNP excretion increased, along with the ratio of urinary to plasma CNP, which preceded significant elevations in proteinuria and blood pressure. Also, CNP immunoreactivity was increased in the distal and proximal tubules in both the aging rat and aging human kidneys. Our findings provide evidence that urinary CNP and its ratio to plasma CNP may represent a novel biomarker for early age-mediated renal structural alterations, particularly fibrosis. Thus urinary CNP could potentially aid in identifying subjects with preclinical structural changes before the onset of symptoms and disease, allowing for the initiation of strategies designed to prevent the progression of chronic kidney disease particularly in the aging population.

Abstract
Renal artery stenosis is prevalent and commonly encountered by cardiovascular specialists. Recently published randomized studies have provoked tremendous controversies in the treatment strategy with regard to renal artery stenting. However, these studies are inconclusive because of major study limitations. As such, cardiovascular specialists are uncertain of the indications or utility of renal revascularization, with differing opinions on management by nephrologists and cardiologists. A greater understanding of this disease process, especially with regard to its functional significance and consequence and treatment strategies based on well-designed clinical trials, is sorely needed. Our review focuses on atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis, with an emphasis on indications for revascularization and review of current trial data.

Abstract
The prevalence of atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis (RAS) is more common than was previously thought, particularly in patients with known coronary, cerebrovascular, or peripheral vascular atherosclerosis. Clinical subsets in which RAS is more common include patients with uncontrolled hypertension, renal insufficiency, and/or sudden onset ("flash") pulmonary edema. Renal artery atherosclerosis progresses over time and is associated with loss of renal function regardless of medical therapy. Patients with symptomatic (hypertension, renal insufficiency, or flash pulmonary edema) and hemodynamically significant RAS are potential candidates for revascularization. The current standard of care is stent placement for aorto-ostial atherosclerotic lesions. Procedure success rates are very high (> or =95%), with infrequent major complication rates. Five-year primary patency rates are 80% to 85%, and secondary patency rates exceed 90%. The key element in managing patients with RAS is selecting those most likely to benefit, that is, those with blood pressure control, preservation or improvement of renal function, and control of flash pulmonary edema from renal revascularization. This article will highlight the anatomical features, physiologic parameters, and biomarkers that may be helpful in optimally selecting patients for renal artery revascularization.

Abstract
Background—
A significant number (20% to 40%) of hypertensive patients with renal artery stenosis will not have blood pressure improvement after successful percutaneous revascularization. Identifying a group of patients with refractory hypertension and renal artery stenosis who are likely to respond to renal stent placement would be beneficial.
Methods and Results—
Brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) was measured in 27 patients with refractory hypertension and significant renal artery stenosis before and after successful renal artery stent placement. This neuropeptide was elevated (median, 187 pg/mL; 25th to 75th percentiles, 89 to 306 pg/mL) before stent placement and fell within 24 hours of the successful stent procedure (96 pg/mL; 25th to 75th percentiles, 61 to 182 pg/mL;
P
=0.002), remaining low (85 pg/mL; 25th to 75th percentiles, 43 to 171 pg/mL) at follow-up. Clinical improvement in hypertension was observed in the patients with a baseline BNP >80 pg/mL (n=22) in 17 patients (77%) compared with 0% of the patients with a baseline BNP ≤80 pg/mL (n=5) (
P
=0.001). After correction for glomerular filtration rate, BNP was strongly correlated with improvement in hypertension.
Conclusions—
BNP is increased in patients with severe renal artery stenosis and decreases after successful stent revascularization. In addition, an elevated baseline BNP level of >80 pg/mL appears to be a good predictor of a blood pressure response after successful stent revascularization.

Abstract
C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) possesses well-established cardiovascular properties. Although present in the mammalian kidney, CNP production in human kidney and its modulation in human renal disease remain less defined. We investigated the presence of CNP in normal human kidney and in patients with nephrotic syndrome (NS). We also addressed whether or not a low-protein diet (LPD) alters plasma CNP and urinary CNP excretion in NS. In situ hybridization studies demonstrated CNP mRNA expression in tubular cells and glomeruli of normal human kidneys. CNP immunoreactivity was positive in proximal, distal, and medullary collecting duct tubular cells in both controls and patients with NS. The ratios of plasma CNP and urinary CNP to creatinine were significantly higher in patients with NS compared with controls. Urinary CNP, but not plasma CNP, was significantly lowered in patients with NS after an LPD. Similarly, the ratios of urinary protein to creatinine and urinary albumin to creatinine, but not urinary guanosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate to creatinine, decreased significantly with an LPD. These data confirm and extend previous reports and demonstrate for the first time the presence of CNP in human kidney with NS. We also report increased plasma CNP concentration and urinary CNP excretion in NS patients and a significant reduction of CNP excretion with an LPD. Our findings demonstrate that CNP metabolism is altered in patients with NS and support the hypothesis that activation of renal CNP can be partially offset by an LPD. These results underscore that the beneficial effect of an LPD on protein excretion is paralleled by a substantial reduction in intrarenal CNP release.

Abstract
Natriuretic peptides (NP), together with nitric oxide (NO) are powerful relaxing factors acting via a common second messenger, cyclic GMP (cGMP). Together with other vasoactive modulators, these vasorelaxing factors play an essential role in regulating the function of kidney glomeruli. The presence of NP receptors in podocytes has been well documented. Recently, also mRNA for soluble guanylate cyclase, the NO receptor, has been shown in these cells. Stimulation of podocytes with atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP), and NO donors results in considerable upregulation of cellular cGMP synthesis. The podocyte foot processes contain a highly organized network of microfilaments adhering to the glomerular basement membrane (GBM). Changes in podocyte cytoskeleton accompanied by detachment of the cells from the GBM are closely associated with many glomerulopathies. The contractile apparatus in the podocyte foot processes seems to be an obvious target for the cyclic GMP signaling cascade. However, little is known about implications of the cGMP synthesis in these cells. We briefly review the current art regarding generation and modulation of cyclic GMP levels in podocytes. We discuss also the possible targets for this secondary messenger as well as its functional role in podocytes.

Abstract
B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) is a hormone mainly secreted by cardiac ventricle myocytes and which is increased in cardiac diseases. Moreover, BNP expression has been shown in various cell/tissue types. Six different human endothelial cell (EC) culture models arising from macro and microcirculation either primary cultures or cell lines were cultured and screened for BNP presence and secretion. All cell types expressed BNP mRNA while only the ECs arising from bone marrow stromal compartment secreted high amounts of BNP protein. This report is the first to identify ECs as a new source of BNP. However, BNP secretion is limited to a particular EC type.

Abstract
Dendroaspis natriuretic peptide (DNP) is a recently isolated 38 amino acid peptide that shares structural and functional properties with the other members of the natriuretic peptide family. The present study demonstrates the presence of DNP-like immunoreactivity in sections of rat aorta, carotid artery and renal vasculature and tubules. DNP-like immunoreactivity was detected in culture aortic vascular smooth muscle cells and medium and is regulated by endothelin-1, angiotensin II and sodium nitroprusside but not by transforming growth factor-beta. Our observations indicate that DNP elicits a marked inhibitory effect on DNA synthesis in culture rat aortic vascular smooth muscle cells.
