 note = {Background: In order to clarify the interaction between cardiac dysfunction and sodium homeostasis in the kidney, we used a murine model of cardiac dysfunction and investigated the effect on sodium transporters in renal tubular cells. Methods: Cardiac function was deteriorated by abdominal aortic banding, and the gene expression of sodium transporters in the kidneys was evaluated by real-time RT-PCR and compared with that in the kidneys of control mice. Results: Gene expression of all three variants of the murine prolactin receptor was enhanced by aortic banding. Upregulated prolactin receptor was distributed in the proximal tubular cells of the pars recta in the deep inner cortex and the outer stripe of the outer medulla. Prolactin has been reported to be a natriuretic hormone that inhibits proximal tubular Na^+/K^+-ATPase activity, resulting in reduced sodium reabsorption and the acceleration of natriuresis. Inhibition of endogenous prolactin secretion by bromocriptine administration decreased the urine sodium excretion in both aortic banding and control mice. On the other hand, excess exogenous prolactin administration enhanced urine potassium excretion in aortic banding mice. Furthermore, a high-sodium diet accelerated urinary sodium excretion, which was also significantly decreased by inhibition of endogenous prolactin secretion in aortic banding mice. Conclusion: We reported that the prolactin receptor was upregulated by aortic banding treatment. Prolactin-prolactin receptor interaction in the proximal tubular cells of the pars recta should involve a different mechanism of kaliuresis other than inhibition of Na^+/K^+-ATPase., 学位の種類: 博士（医学）. 報告番号: 甲第3811号. 学位記番号: 新大院博（医）甲第563号. 学位授与年月日: 平成25年9月20日, Clinical and Experimental Nephrology. 2014, 18(1), 65-74, 新大院博（医）甲第563号},
