To identify an appropriate model of human
renin-angiotensin system (RAS) involvement in fetal origins of adult
disease, we quantitated renal ANG II AT1 and
AT2 receptors (AT1R and AT2R, respectively) in fetal
(90-day gestation, n = 14), neonatal (3-wk, n = 5), and adult (6-mo, n = 8)
microswine by autoradiography (125I-labeled
[Sar1Ile8]ANG II+cold CGP-42112 for AT1R,
125I-CGP-42112 for AT2R) and by whole kidney radioligand
binding. The developmental pattern of renal AT1R in microswine, like
many species, exhibited a 10-fold increase postnatally
(P < 0.001), with maximal postnatal density in
glomeruli and lower density AT1R in extraglomerular cortical and outer
medullary sites. With aging, postnatal AT1R glomerular profiles
increased in size (P < 0.001) and fractional area
occupied (P < 0.04), with no change in the number per
unit area. Cortical levels of AT2R by autoradiography fell with age
from
5,000 fmol/g in fetal kidneys to
60 and 20% of fetal levels
in neonatal and adult cortex, respectively (P < 0.0001). The pattern of AT2R binding in postnatal pig kidney mimicked
that described in human and simian, but not rodent, species: dense AT2R
confined to discrete cortical structures, including pre- and
juxtaglomerular, but not intraglomerular, vasculature. Our results
provide a quantitative assessment of ANG II receptors in developing pig
kidney and document the concordance of pigs and primates in
developmental regulation of renal AT1R and AT2R.
