. Angiotensin II (Ang II) AT 1A  receptors are localized to renomedullary interstitial cells (RMIC) in the inner stripe of the outer medulla but not in the inner medulla. Thus, there seems to be a correlation between decreases in AT 1A  receptor binding to RMIC and increases in interstitial osmolality, suggesting that osmolality is important in determining Ang II binding to RMIC. Cultured RMIC were incubated in media of differing osmolalities (330, 630, 930, and 1230 mOsm/kgH 2 O).  125 I-[Sar 1 , Ile 8 ] Ang II binding to AT 1A  receptors on RMIC grown in hyperosmolal media (930 mOsm/kgH 2 O) was reduced compared with isoosmolal (330 mOsm/kgH 2 O) media and was progressively reduced with further increases of osmolality. Similar studies were performed using bradykinin (BK) as a control peptide. Binding of the BK receptor ligand  125 I-[HPP-Hoe 140] to B 2  receptors was not affected by varying osmolality of the media. Reverse transcriptase-PCR demonstrated the presence of the mRNA expression for both AT 1A  and B 2  receptors at each osmolality. The conclusion is that osmolality modulates Ang II binding to RMIC; in these cells, this phenomenon is restricted to Ang II as BK binding is not affected. Osmolality-induced changes in Ang II binding may modulate the actions of this peptide on RMIC and provide an important mechanism by which these cells modulate renal medullary function.
