- Pharmacological interruption of the angiotensin II type-1 receptor (AT(1)) signalling during nephrogenesis in rats induces irreversible abnormalities in kidney morphology, comprising papillary atrophy and tubulointerstitial damage, which are characterized by tubular dilatation/atrophy and interstitial inflammation/fibrosis. This study determined the time course for development of tubular structural and inflammatory changes and possible cytokine production in the renal medulla of newborn rats exposed to angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibition. Additionally, medullary expression of E-cadherin, a marker for tubular formation, was investigated in ACE-inhibited rats.
