—The protective effect of vasodilator agents linked to the cAMP pathway is less effective for buffering the vasoconstrictor effect of angiotensin II in young animals with genetic hypertension. To determine the underlying cellular mechanism, experiments were performed on freshly isolated preglomerular resistance arterioles obtained from kidneys of 7-week-old spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) and normotensive Wistar-Kyoto rats (WKY). Specific high-affinity saturable binding of3 H-prostaglandin (PG) E2 revealed 1 receptor class in renal microvessels; PGE2 receptor density was similar in SHR and WKY (106 versus 115 fmol/mg;P &gt;0.8), as was receptor affinity (3.6 versus 3.5 nmol/L;P &gt;0.7). Basal cAMP activity was similar in renal arterioles from SHR and WKY. A major finding was that PGE2 , PGI2 , and isoproterenol produced weaker stimulation of cAMP formation in arteriolar cells of SHR (P &lt;0.02). In contrast, GTPγs and forskolin stimulated cAMP generation to a similar degree in both rat strains, which suggests normal adenylate cyclase activity in hypertension-prone SHR. Immunoblots revealed the presence of 3 classes of G proteins (Gs , Gi , and Gq ) in preglomerular arterioles. The relative amounts of discernible G-protein α-subunits in renal resistance vessels did not differ between SHR and WKY. These results extend previous in vivo studies of abnormal renal vascular reactivity in SHR and more directly localize defective coupling of the prostaglandin and β-adrenergic receptors to a stimulatory G protein and cAMP production in freshly isolated preglomerular arteriolar cells of young SHR. This dysfunction may be due to an abnormal interaction between prostaglandin receptors and Gs protein that leads to inefficient coupling of initiating steps in the cAMP–protein kinase A cascade during the development of hypertension.
