Renal cortical slices obtained from male New Zealand rabbits were used to investigate the role of adenosine in the regulation of renin release. Isoproterenol produced a significant (p less than 0.01), twofold to threefold increase in renin release, that was both dose-dependent and time-dependent. Addition of either the l-phenylisopropyl or the N6-ethylcarboxamido derivative of adenosine attenuated this stimulation at concentrations as low as 10(-9) M or 10(-8) M, respectively. Higher doses of d-phenylisopropyladenosine (10(-6) M) or adenosine (10(-5) M) were necessary to significantly reduce the beta-adrenergic response (p less than 0.01). Inhibition was absent in slices preincubated with 10(-5) M 8-phenyltheophylline, a concentration that had no effect on either basal or stimulated renin release. The site of inhibition appeared to be distal to beta-adrenergic and prostaglandin receptors since l-phenylisopropyladenosine (10(-8) M) blocked stimulation by selective beta-adrenergic receptor agonists, prenalterol (10(-6) M) or salbutamol (10(-5) M), and by prostaglandin E1. These data suggest that adenosine and its analogues inhibit renin release and that this inhibition may be mediated by a receptor-dependent action on a common point in the pathway leading to release.
