Use of synthetic oligonucleotide and recombinant DNA probes to study renin gene expression. 1985

Using hybridization histochemistry renin gene expression has been localized in the juxtaglomerular apparatus (JGA) of the renal cortex in both mouse and sheep kidney. This technique also located renin gene expression in afferent arterioles and interlobular arteries distant from the glomerular tuft in lamb renal cortex. A short (30 mer) synthetic oligonucleotide probe, complementary to a region of the mouse submaxillary gland renin gene, specifically labelled mouse submaxillary gland and kidney. Hybridization histochemistry and Northern blot analysis using both the synthetic oligonucleotide (mouse) probe and a 700 base pair recombinant (sheep) probe showed differences in renin gene expression in the kidney in response to Na restriction in the mouse and Na depletion in the sheep.

D009693 Nucleic Acid Hybridization Widely used technique which exploits the ability of complementary sequences in single-stranded DNAs or RNAs to pair with each other to form a double helix. Hybridization can take place between two complimentary DNA sequences, between a single-stranded DNA and a complementary RNA, or between two RNA sequences. The technique is used to detect and isolate specific sequences, measure homology, or define other characteristics of one or both strands.

D009841 Oligonucleotides Polymers made up of a few (2-20) nucleotides. In molecular genetics, they refer to a short sequence synthesized to match a region where a mutation is known to occur, and then used as a probe (OLIGONUCLEOTIDE PROBES). (Dorland, 28th ed) Oligonucleotide
D012083 Renin A highly specific (Leu-Leu) endopeptidase that generates ANGIOTENSIN I from its precursor ANGIOTENSINOGEN, leading to a cascade of reactions which elevate BLOOD PRESSURE and increase sodium retention by the kidney in the RENIN-ANGIOTENSIN SYSTEM. The enzyme was formerly listed as EC 3.4.99.19.
