Preeclampsia is a pregnancy-specific disorder of maternal hypertension and reduced renal hemodynamics linked to reduced endothelial function. Placental ischemia is thought to be the culprit of this disease, as it causes the release of factors like tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha that induce vascular endothelin-1 (ET-1) production. Interestingly, placental ischemia-induced hypertension in rats [reduced uterine perfusion pressure (RUPP) model] is abolished by ET(A) receptor blockade, suggesting a critical role for ET-1. Although it has been found that systemic induction of heme oxygenase (HO)-1 is associated with reduced ET-1 production and attenuated hypertension, it is unclear whether HO-1 directly modulates the increased ET-1 response to placental factors. We tested the hypothesis that HO-1 or its metabolites inhibit ET-1 production in human glomerular endothelial cells induced by serum of RUPP rats or TNF-alpha. Serum (5%) from RUPP hypertensive (mean arterial blood pressure 119 +/- 9 mmHg) vs. normotensive pregnant (NP, 101 +/- 6 mmHg, P < 0.001) rats increased ET-1 production (RUPP 168.8 +/- 18.1 pg/ml, NP 80.3 +/- 22.7 pg/ml, P < 0.001, n = 12/group). HO-1 induction [25 microM cobalt photoporphyrin (CoPP)] abolished RUPP serum-induced ET-1 production (1.6 +/- 0.8 pg/ml, P < 0.001), whereas bilirubin (10 microM) significantly attenuated ET-1 release (125.3 +/- 5.2 pg/ml, P = 0.005). Furthermore, TNF-alpha-induced ET-1 production (TNF-alpha 31.0 +/- 8.4 vs. untreated 7.5 +/- 0.4 pg/ml, P < 0.001) was reduced by CoPP (1.5 +/- 0.8 pg/ml, P < 0.001) and bilirubin (10.5 +/- 4.3 pg/ml, P < 0.001). These results suggest that circulating factors released during placental ischemia target the maternal glomerular endothelium to increase ET-1, and that pharmacological induction of HO-1 or bilirubin could be a treatment strategy to block this prohypertensive pathway in preeclampsia.
