The angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) activity was studied in 2 experimental models of acute renal failure: (a) rats treated with a single injection of mercuric chloride (1.5 mg/kg) and (b) rats treated with a single injection of potassium dichromate (15 mg/kg). Rats were sacrificed 24 and 48 h after mercuric chloride or potassium dichromate injection. ACE activity was measured in urine, serum, and kidney. These data were compared with vehicle-treated rats. Rats with acute renal failure had proteinuria, polyuria, and decreased creatinine clearance. The damage to the kidney proximal tubule was evident by (a) the histological analysis at light and electron microscopy, (b) the augmentation in the urinary excretion of dipeptidyl aminopeptidase IV and N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase, and (c) the low molecular weight proteinuria pattern. In addition, the histological analysis at the ultrastructural level showed normal glomeruli appearance. The above data suggest that the increased urinary excretion of enzymes and proteins in rats with acute renal failure is a consequence of tubular injury. Urinary and serum ACE activities increased and kidney ACE activity decreased. Our data suggest that the increase in urine ACE activity may be due to the kidney proximal tubule damage. This work supports the contention that an increase in urine ACE may be an indicator of injury to the proximal tubule.

D007687 Kidney Tubules, Proximal The renal tubule portion that extends from the BOWMAN CAPSULE in the KIDNEY CORTEX into the KIDNEY MEDULLA. The proximal tubule consists of a convoluted proximal segment in the cortex, and a distal straight segment descending into the medulla where it forms the U-shaped LOOP OF HENLE.

D007703 Peptidyl-Dipeptidase A A peptidyl-dipeptidase that catalyzes the release of a C-terminal dipeptide, oligopeptide-|-Xaa-Yaa, when Xaa is not Pro, and Yaa is neither Asp nor Glu. Thus, conversion of ANGIOTENSIN I to ANGIOTENSIN II, with increase in vasoconstrictor activity, but no action on angiotensin II. It is also able to inactivate BRADYKININ, a potent vasodilator; and has a glycosidase activity which releases GPI-anchored proteins from the membrane by cleaving the mannose linkage in the GPI moiety.
