Dual angiotensin-converting enzyme/neutral endopeptidase inhibition on cardiac and renal fibrosis and inflammation in DOCA-salt hypertensive rats.
    Journal of hypertension, 2005, Volume: 23, Issue:2

    The relative roles of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) and neutral endopeptidase (NEP) inhibition on cardiac and renal fibrosis in deoxycorticosterone acetate (DOCA)-salt hypertensive rats were studied.. The ACE/NEP inhibitor omapatrilat (40 mg/kg per day), the ACE inhibitor enalapril (10 mg/kg per day) and the NEP inhibitor CGS 25462(100 mg/kg per day) were administrated for 3 weeks to DOCA rats. Collagen was stained with Sirius red, and mediators of inflammation were identified by immunolabeling (vascular cell adhesion molecule, nuclear factor-kappaB, infiltrating ED-1-positive macrophages and monocyte chemotactic protein-1) or by western blot (platelet-endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1).. Elevated systolic blood pressure of DOCA rats was significantly reduced (P < 0.05) by omapatrilat and CGS 25462. Omapatrilat and CGS 25462 significantly (P < 0.05) decreased interstitial collagen density in the left ventricle of DOCA rats compared with untreated DOCA rats. Enalapril only decreased the subepicardial collagen of DOCA rats. Omapatrilat significantly (P < 0.05) decreased renal mesangial collagen deposition in DOCA rats. Cardiac and renal expression of surface adhesion molecules, nuclear factor-kappaB, monocyte chemotactic protein and ED-1-positive cells were decreased in omapatrilat-treated DOCA rats compared with untreated DOCA rats. Enalapril and CGS 25462 did not alter mesangial collagen of DOCA rats.. Dual ACE/NEP inhibition was more effective than ACE or NEP inhibition in decreasing inflammatory mediators, and improving cardiac and renal fibrosis. This suggests a role for NEP inhibition added to blockade of the renin-angiotensin system that may explain the greater efficacy of omapatrilat.
