INTRODUCTION: The present study evaluated the contribution of 20-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (20-HETE) and its interaction with nitric oxide (NO) in cyclosporin A-induced nephrotoxicity and hypertension. METHODS AND RESULTS: The treatment of rats with cyclosporin A (25 mg/kg) for 7 days increased the renal microsomal conversion of arachidonic acid (AA) to 20-HETE (93 +/- 6%, P < 0.05), increased systolic blood pressure (SBP), reduced the urinary excretion of nitrite (53 +/- 8%, P < 0.05), induced renal damage as indicated by a marked increase in protein excretion (163 +/- 14%, P < 0.05), increased renal vasoconstrictor responses to AA (82 +/- 5%, P < 0.05) but not endothelin-1 or phenylephrine, and decreased vasodilator responses to bradykinin (42 +/- 10%, P < 0.05) and sodium nitroprusside (SNP; 56 +/- 13%, P < 0.05) in the renal preglomerular vessel treated with indomethacin and NO synthase inhibitor. The pretreatment of rats with HET0016 (10 mg/kg) or 1-aminobenzotriazole (50 mg/kg), inhibitors of cytochrome P450 (CYP450) activity, attenuated or prevented cyclosporin A-induced increases in 20-HETE production, SBP, and protein excretion, as did L-arginine (4 g/l), a substrate for NO synthase. L-Arginine but not HET0016 or 1-aminobenzotriazole blunted the cyclosporin A-induced decrease in nitrite excretion. Similarly, L-arginine blunted the enhanced vasoconstriction by AA as did HET0016 or 1-aminobenzotriazole. However, cyclosporin A-blunted dilator responses to bradykinin and SNP were not affected by L-arginine, HET0016, or 1-aminobenzotriazole. CONCLUSIONS: These data suggest that cyclosporin A-induced nephrotoxicity can be accounted for by reduced NO production and a consequent increase in 20-HETE. The cyclosporin A-induced nephrotoxicity is thus an ideal model for evaluating NO/CYP450 interactions.
