The deletion of the EP4 receptor specifically in renin-expressing cells after doxycycline-dependent induction (AS −/− /mRen-rtTAm2/LC1 Cre/EP4 fl/fl ) led to a moderate decrease in renin mRNA by around 25% whereas the decline in plasma renin concentrations did not reach statistical significance (Fig. 6 ).
