This study examined the role of changes in renal interstitial pressure on the renal levels of cytochrome P450 metabolites of arachidonic acid and compared the effects of inhibition of the formation of 20-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (20-HETE) and epoxyeicosatrienoic acids with 1-aminobenzotriazole on the pressure-natriuretic response versus that seen after administration of HET0016, a more selective inhibitor of the formation of 20-HETE. Renal interstitial pressure rose by 3.4±0.3 mm Hg, and the levels of 20-HETE in renal cortical tissue doubled when renal perfusion pressure was increased from 100 to 160 mm Hg. Removal of the renal capsule prevented the increase in renal interstitial pressure and 20-HETE levels after an elevation in renal perfusion pressure. Urine flow and sodium excretion increased 5-fold when renal perfusion pressure was increased from 106 to 160 mm Hg. The administration of 1-aminobenzotriazole (50 mg/kg, IP) or HET0016 (10 mg/kg IV bolus plus 1 mg/kg per hour of infusion) decreased the pressure-natriuretic response by 50% and inhibited the renal formation of 20-HETE and epoxyeicosatrienoic acids by 90% and 50%, respectively. Administration of a lower dose of HET0016 (1 mg/kg per hour, IV) selectively reduced the formation of 20-HETE by 80% without inhibiting renal epoxygenase activity and blunted the pressure-natriuretic response by 42%. These results indicate that elevations in renal perfusion pressure increase 20-HETE levels in the kidney secondary to a rise in renal interstitial pressure. They also suggest that 20-HETE, rather than epoxyeicosatrienoic acids, modulates the pressure-natriuretic response, because selective blockade of the formation of 20-HETE with HET0016 blunts the response to the same extent as that seen after inhibition of the formation of 20-HETE and epoxyeicosatrienoic acids with 1-aminobenzotriazole.
