Recent evidence suggests that apoptosis is involved in several pathological processes in the lung [ 30 31 32 ] and kidney [ 33 34 35 36 37 ] . Using the Dahl/Rapp salt-sensitive (S) rat, which develops hypertensive nephrosclerosis that resembles the human disease process [ 5 ] , this laboratory demonstrated an early and inappropriate apoptotic process that occurred in both glomerular and tubular compartments of the kidneys and correlated with the decline in glomerular filtration rate.
These data, along with the previous studies that confirmed morphological evidence of apoptosis and biochemical evidence of caspase-3 activation in these kidneys [ 7 ] , showed a role for the Fas/FasL pathway in promoting the loss of kidney function that develops in the setting of hypertensive nephrosclerosis in this model.
The blood pressure responses to dietary salt intake of the Dahl/Rapp S rat, an experimental model of hypertensive nephrosclerosis, and of the SD strain of rat have been published.
The role of the Fas/FasL pathway in human hypertensive nephrosclerosis remains to be determined.
Apoptosis can be significant particularly three weeks into the course of hypertensive nephrosclerosis in this model (Figure 1).
