Metabolic insulin resistance has been demonstrated in patients with nondiabetic chronic kidney disease (CKD), yet their vascular insulin signaling remains poorly understood. Here we tested the hypothesis that vascular insulin signaling was impaired and related with endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress in aortas from the reduced renal mass (RRM) model of CKD. The activity of insulin signaling and markers of ER were determined in aortas from rats with RRM and cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells. Tyrosine phosphorylation of insulin receptor-β and insulin receptor substrate (IRS)-1 and phosphorylation of protein kinase B and endothelial nitric oxide synthase were all decreased in aorta from RRM rats, whereas serine phosphorylation of IRS-1, a marker of insulin resistance, was increased. In addition, nitric oxide generation and insulin-mediated vasorelaxation were decreased in aortas from RRM rats. Insulin signaling in cultured vascular endothelial cells was impaired by induction of ER stress and was restored in aortas of RRM rats by inhibition of ER stress. Taken together, rats with RRM had vascular insulin resistance that was linked to ER stress. This identified vascular insulin resistance and ER stress as a potential therapeutic target for cardiovascular complications in patients with CKD.
