Renal Denervation Prevents Immune Cell Activation and Renal Inflammation in Angiotensin II–Induced Hypertension
Open accessAbstract
Rationale: Inflammation and adaptive immunity play a crucial role in the development of hypertension. Angiotensin II and probably other hypertensive stimuli activate the central nervous system and promote T-cell activation and end-organ damage in peripheral tissues. Objective: To determine if renal sympathetic nerves mediate renal inflammation and T-cell activation in hypertension. Methods and Results: Bilateral renal denervation using phenol application to the renal arteries reduced renal norepinephrine levels and blunted angiotensin II–induced hypertension. Bilateral renal denervation also reduced inflammation, as reflected by decreased accumulation of total leukocytes, T cells, and both CD4 + and CD8 + T cells in the kidney. This was associated with a marked reduction in renal fibrosis, albuminuria, and nephrinuria. Unilateral renal denervation, which partly attenuated blood pressure, only reduced inflammation in the denervated kidney, suggesting that this effect is pressure independent. Angiotensin II also increased immunogenic isoketal-protein adducts in renal dendritic cells (DCs) and increased surface expression of costimulation markers and production of interleukin (IL)-1α, IL-1β, and IL-6 from splenic DCs. Norepinephrine also dose dependently stimulated isoketal formation in cultured DCs. Adoptive transfer of splenic DCs from angiotensin II–treated mice primed T-cell activation and hypertension in recipient mice. Renal denervation prevented these effects of hypertension on DCs. In contrast to these beneficial effects of ablating all renal nerves, renal afferent disruption with capsaicin had no effect on blood pressure or renal inflammation. Conclusions: Renal sympathetic nerves contribute to DC activation, subsequent T-cell infiltration and end-organ damage in the kidney in the development of hypertension.

Multiple preclinical studies show that total renal denervation causes a significant and sustained fall in mean arterial blood pressure.
“Multiple preclinical studies have demonstrated that total RDN (TRDN, defined as ablation of the sympathetic efferent and sensory afferent nerves) causes a significant and sustained reduction in mean arterial blood pressure20,69–73.”
From Renal nerves in physiology, pathophysiology and interoception (2025) · cites this paper as [72]
The Results section reports that bilateral renal denervation blunted angiotensin II–induced hypertension in mice, with lower systolic and diastolic pressures than in sham-operated mice. It also reports lower blood pressure during the two weeks after denervation in a separate mouse protocol. The paper does not report a mean arterial pressure result or establish that multiple preclinical studies found a significant, sustained reduction; its Introduction says some, but not all, animal studies found blood-pressure reductions.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
