▼ Increased activity of the intrarenal renin-angiotensin system (RAS), in which proximal tubular angiotensinogen (AGT) is a key factor, has been implicated in the progression of diabetic nephropathy. AGT expression is upregulated in renal proximal tubular cells (PTC) by high glucose due to elevated reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. Angiotensin II (Ang II) also promotes ROS generation. Glucose reabsorption in PTC occurs mainly through sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2). This study was performed to demonstrate that SGLT2 mediates AGT augmentation in PTC under hyperglycemic conditions. Furthermore, the enhancing effect of Ang II was investigated. Established mouse PTC were treated with 5 (normal), 15, or 25 mM D-glucose or D-mannitol (osmotic control). Pyruvate was used to investigate the role of glycolysis on AGT regulation. Glycolytic activity was quantified using a Seahorse metabolic analyzer. Tempol, an antioxidant, was used to determine the role of ROS. SGLT2 expression was silenced using shRNA. PTC were treated with high glucose and 10-10-10-7 M Ang II or an Ang II receptor blocker. AGT protein levels were increased by 15 (4.4 ± 0.2-fold over control) and 25 mM (4.6 ± 0.2-fold) glucose. AGT mRNA was also augmented (31.1 ± 3.5-fold) by 25 mM glucose, but not mannitol. AGT expression was stimulated by pyruvate (10.7 ± 1.0-fold over control), and exposure to 10, 15, or 25 mM glucose increased glycolytic activity (3.10 ± 0.28-fold, 2.74 ± 0.20-fold, and 2.75 ± 0.34-fold, respectively), suggesting that enhanced glycolysis stimulates AGT expression. ROS accumulation increased (3.03 ± 0.29-fold) in 25 mM glucose over control. Tempol attenuated glucose-induced AGT augmentation by 77%, suggesting that ROS generation contributes to AGT upregulation. SGLT2 knockdown prevented AGT augmentation in 15 mM glucose, indicating that SGLT2 plays a key role mediating AGT upregulation by high glucose. Ang II receptor blockade did not alter AGT levels, and Ang II did not enhance AGT expression in normal or high glucose. Similarly, SGLT2 expression was unchanged by glucose or Ang II. These results indicate that SGLT2 contributes to AGT upregulation in PTC by high glucose, which helps to explain the mechanisms causing intrarenal RAS activation and consequent diabetic nephropathy.

▼ Inappropriate modulation of the renin angiotensin system (RAS) can lead to derangements of blood pressure homeostasis in humans. Cyp1a1-mRen2.F transgenic rats were used to define the renal mechanisms underlying the development of angiotensin II-dependent hypertension. These transgenic rats were previously generated by introducing the mouse Ren2 gene into the rat genome under the control of a Cyp1a1 inducible promoter. The aim of the current investigation was to establish the contribution of renal function to the development of hypertension in the Cyp1a1- mRen2.F transgenic rat. Expression of the mRen2 transgene was induced by daily gavage of indole 3 carbinol (I3C) at the dose of 100mg/kg. Blood pressure was measured in conscious rats after 1, 3 or 7 days of treatment. The control group received the vegetable oil carrier for 7 days. In addition blood pressure, renal haemodynamics and excretory function were measured under thiobutabarbital anaesthesia. Transgene induction caused a progressive increase in blood pressure in a time dependent manner. Neither glomerular filtration rate nor renal blood flow was affected. This indicates proper function of renal autoregulation during the experimental time course. Tubular sodium reabsorption was significantly increased after the first day of transgene induction and this effect was sustained for the duration of treatment. A pharmacological approach was used to localize the increased reabsorption to a specific region of the nephron and was found to reflect increased activity of the thiazide-sensitive cotransporter (NCC). Chronic administration of thiazide significantly blunted the hypertensive response to transgene induction. Similarly AT1 receptor blockade attenuated the hypertensive phenotype and prevented the transgene-induced stimulation of NCC activity. In contrast, mineralocorticoid receptor blockade did not prevent the development of either hypertension or increased NCC activity. The current study suggests that the development of angiotensin II-dependent hypertension is mediated by increased tubular sodium reabsorption. Increased activity of NCC is a key hypertensive mechanism in this model and results directly from the actions of angiotensin II at the AT1 receptor; indirect aldosterone pathways do not play a major role.

Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) develops based on advanced atherosclerosis; however, the underlying pathogenesis remains unknown. Adrenomedullin (AM) is widely expressed in various human and rodent tissues, and has been reported to protect blood vessels. We have previously reported that AM is produced in mast cells of human AAA and that AM exhibited the antifibrotic activity of mast cell-derived AM on fibroblasts. In the present study, we investigated the role of AM in the development of AAA in 12-week-old male apolipoprotein (apo)E﹣/﹣ mice bred with AM heterozygous, or its role when recombinant human (rh) AM was administrated to the apoE﹣/﹣ male mice, which was infused with 1000 ng/kg/min of angiotensin II (Ang II) for 28 days. The incidence of the development of AAA in Ang II-infused apoE﹣/﹣ AM﹢/﹣ mice did not change compared with that in apoE﹣/﹣ mice (33.3% vs. 47.4%, p = 0.2333). In addition, rhAM administration had little effect on the incidence of the development of AAA formation (AM: 0 ng/kg/hr 47.4%; 300 ng/kg/hr 36.4%; 3000 ng/kg/hr 27.3%; p = 0.2595). In conclusion, this study suggests that AM does not contribute toward the development of AAA.

▼ Long-term stimuli of many systems leads to decreased cellular
responsiveness, or desensitization. We characterized the desensitization of
angiotensin II (Ang 11)-mediated inositol phospholipid (IP) hydrolysis in cultured
human aortic smooth muscle cells (HASMC). Although it has been suggested that
the desensitization induced by long-term Mg
II exposure may result partially from
down-regulation of Ang
II receptor, this is not sufficient to explain fully
desensitization in many systems. Post-receptor desensitization of IP hydrolysis
may also result from phosphorylation or changes in protein levels of the effector
enzyme, PLC-β. We identified the major PLC-β isoenzymes expressed by
HASMC as PLC-β1 and PLC-β3. Ang
II pretreatment reduced IP accumulation
induced by Ang
II (1μM) in a time-dependent manner. Phorbol ester-12-myristrate-13-acetate (PMA), a protein kinase C (PKC) activator, also reduced
Ang
II-stimulated IP accumulation. These results suggest that PKC activation may
negatively regulate Ang
II-stimulated IP signaling in HASMC, similar to rat cells.
In addition, PKC also reduced IP accumulation stimulated by A1F₄⁻, directly
activating the G protein. It suggests that the majority of PKC-induced
desensitization of Ang
II-stimulated IP signaling occurs downstream of the Ang
II
receptor in HASMC. However, both PLC-β1 and PLC-β3, expected candidates for
PKC phosphorylation, were phosphorylated independently of PKC activation or
inhibition, indicating that PKC might not be involved in direct phosphorylation of
PLC-β1 and PLC-β3. Furthermore, PLC-β1, but not PLC-β3, was highly
phosphorylated under basal conditions, suggesting that PLC-β1 and PLC-β3 may
play different roles in IP signaling in HASMC.

Integrated regulation of transporters along the nephron to

▼ The kidneys play an essential role in regulating blood
pressure (BP) and maintaining fluid and electrolyte homeostasis.
The balance is achieved by an integrative network of hormones and
nerves that signal changes in Na⁺ and K⁺ transporters along the
nephron under various stimuli, such as hypokalemia, elevated
circulating plasma AngII concentration, and high BP. The regulation
could be either acute or chronic via trafficking, covalent
modification, or changes in total transporter abundance. Taking an
integrative approach to generate transporter profiles along the
nephron, this dissertation aimed to determine 1) the effects of
K⁺-deficient diets with and without NaCl supplementation on Na⁺,
K⁺, and H₂O transporters’ abundance; 2) how transporters are
differentially regulated in AngII-dependent hypertension model: a
balance between blood pressure vs. AngII; and 3) the renal
responses at the early stage of AngII infusion without accompanying
hypertension. Results: 1) Despite profound hypokalemia and renal K⁺
conservation with K⁺-deficient diets, most transporters’ abundance
was not altered as previously reported in the literature; there was
primarily a decrease in the sodium channel whose activity drives K⁺
secretion, but no change in the K⁺ transporter. We predict that
changes in their distribution and activity are likely more
important for conserving K⁺ than changes in total pool size, since
they need to act quickly when an animal suddenly switches from a
K⁺-deprived mode to a K⁺-replete mode. 2) In AngII-dependent
hypertension, we reported a differential regulation of Na⁺
transporters along the nephron: distal stimulation counteracted by
proximal inhibition to obtain a homeostatic balance. We postulate
that starting from the cortical TALH through the medullary CD,
AngII has an anti-natriuretic action on Na⁺ transporters to
increase Na⁺ reabsorption in the distal region of the nephron,
while pressure-natriuresis acts along the proximal nephron,
starting from the PT through the medullary TALH, to reduce Na⁺
reabsorption. 3) At the early stage of AngII infusion, we
demonstrated that Na⁺ transporters are activated in both the
proximal tubule and distal nephron, creating a pre-hypertensive
state, which likely increases Na⁺ reabsorption in these regions to
contribute to the development of hypertension observed with longer
infusion periods. Overall, these studies illustrate that a
determination of changes in ion transporter along the entire
nephron are necessary to ascertain how fluid and electrolyte
homeostasis is maintained in the face of changes in intake or
experimental hypertension.

▼ With increasing prevalence and incidence rates over
time, heart failure is well-recognised as a chronic disease with
lifelong management, and is one of the top killers in the modern
world, accounting for around 40 percent of deaths. Cardiac
hypertrophy is defined as a compensatory mechanism induced by
augmented mechanical and neurohumoral stress stimulation to
preserve cardiac function. Nevertheless, sustained cardiac
hypertrophy can lead to cardiac dysfunction. Prolonged activation
of
Angiotensin II is one of the main mediators that contributes to
the development and maintenance of cardiac hypertrophy via its
hemodynamic and cardiotrophic effects, and metabolizing
Angiotensin
II into favourable
Angiotensin -7 has emerged as a new strategy to
block detrimental effects of
Angiotensin II, alleviating the
progression of heart hypertrophy. Thus, an in-depth understanding
of this regulatory pathway holds promising therapeutic potential
that contributes significantly to develop effective cures for heart
failure. There have been several
Angiotensin II-degrading enzymes
discovered of which prolyl carboxypeptidase (PRCP) is a lysosomal
Pro-X carboxypeptidase cleaving
Angiotensin II and resulting in
Angiotensin 1-7 production at a preferential acidic pH optimum.
However, yet insignificant attention has been given to PRCP in term
of its cardioprotective functions. In our study, we proposed that
PRPC is essentially required to protect hearts from
Angiotensin
II-mediated hypertrophic responses through the control of
Angiotensin II and
Angiotensin 1-7 levels. In response to 2 weeks
of
Angiotensin II infusion, mice with global PRCP loss (PRCP-KO)
showed exacerbated cardiac hypertrophy, increased levels of
fibrosis, oxidative stress, and apoptotic cells without indication
of systolic dysfunction. Interestingly, PRCP loss only caused
disruptions in
Angiotensin II and
Angiotensin 1-7 levels in
myocardial tissues but not in plasma. Increased
Angiotensin II and
decreased
Angiotensin 1-7 caused following changes in their
downstream signalling targets including upregulated ERK1/2 and less
AKT activities, respectively. On the other hand, using
associated-adenovirus serotype 9 (AAV9) to overexpress PRCP in
PRCP-KO hearts alleviated
Angiotensin II-mediated cardiac
hypertrophy and remodelling through restoring cardiac
Angiotensin
II and
Angiotensin 1-7 levels. This evidence might indicate the
pivotal roles of PRCP in the regulation of cardiac
Angiotensin II
level to maintain the heart function. In concordance, PRCP
depletion in adult rat cardiomyocytes also led to a significant
increase in
Angiotensin II-induced hypertrophic growth, which was
blunted by adenovirus-mediated PRCP overexpression. Furthermore,
lack of Mas1 receptor but not
Angiotensin II type 2 and bradykinin
type 2 receptors blocked the PRCP/
Angiotensin 1-7/AKT cascade. In
conclusion, these preliminary results have advanced our knowledge
about the protective role of PRCP against cardiac hypertrophy
through, likely, its regulation of cardiac
Angiotensin II system.

▼ The rostral ventrolateral medulla (RVLM) is the origin of a âlife-and-deathâ signal identifies from systemic arterial blood pressure spectrum that reflects failure of central cardiovascular regulation during brain stem death. It is also a target site where endogenous
angiotensin II acts on
angiotensin II type 1 receptors (AT1R) to increase blood pressure (BP); or on type 2 receptors (AT2R) to inhibit baroreceptor reflex (BRR) response. This study investigated the roles of AT1R and AT2R and their signaling pathways in RVLM for âlife-and-deathâ signal response during experimental brain stem death, using organophosphate mevinphos (Mev) as the experimental insult. In Sprague-Dawley rats, Mev (640 μg/kg, i.v.) elicited an increase (pro-life phase) followed by a decrease (pro-death phase). Real-time PCR analysis revealed that whereas AT1R level underwent a 10% increase at pro-life phase, AT2R exhibited a significance increase of up to 40% at pro-death phase. Western blot analysis revealed that whereas AT1R level underwent a 20% increase at pro-life phase, AT2R exhibited a significant increase of up to 50% at pro-death phase. Pretreatment with microinjection of an AT1R antagonist losartan (2 nmol) into RVLM elicited abrupt death because of drastic hypotension through inhibiting NADPH oxidase and its downstream superoxide anion. Pretreatment with NADPH oxidase inhibitor DPI (1.5 nmol) inhibited NADPH oxidase avtiviting and superoxide anion production and decreased âlife-and-deathâ signal at pro-life phase; using superoxide anion inhibitor tempol (5 nmol) potentiated blood pressure and âlife-and-deathâ signal at pro-death phase. However, pretreatment with an AT2R antagonist PD123319 (2 nmol) potentiated the âlife-and-deathâ signal and antagonized hypotension during pro-death phase through inhibiting protein phosphotase 2A (PP2A) then activating extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2). Similar to AT2R antagonist PD123319, pretreatment with PP2A inhibitor okadaic acid (0.5 fmol) inhibit PP2A, leading to activation of ERK1/2, potentiate âlife-and-deathâ signal and antagonized hypotension during pro-death phase. These results suggest that AT1R in RVLM plays a âpro-lifeâ role through NADPH oxidase/superoxide anion during experimental brain stem death by maintaining BP and âlife-and-deathâ signal; AT2R plays a âpro-deathâ role through PP2A/ERK1/2 by inhibiting BP and âlife-and-deathâ signal, and superoxide may also plays a âpro-life and pro-deathâ role at pro-death phase.

▼ Cardiac remodeling with associated changes in myocardial structure and function occurs in response to injury to the heart concomitant with chronic hypertension. The structural changes to the heart, including myocyte and vascular hypertrophy as well as interstitial and perivascular fibrosis, are attributed to a combination of both hemodynamic and humoral factors, such as angiotensin II (Ang II). Angiotensin-(1-7) [Ang-(1-7)] is an endogenous heptapeptide of the renin-angiotensin system with anti-proliferative properties which oppose the actions of Ang II. The purpose of this study was to determine whether Ang-(1-7) inhibits the Ang II-mediated growth of cardiac cells in vivo and in vitro and identify the molecular mechanisms for the inhibition of cardiac cell growth.
Rats were treated with Ang II, in the presence or absence of Ang-(1-7), to determine the effect of the heptapeptide on Ang II-mediated cardiac myocyte hypertrophy, fibrosis and vascular hypertrophy. Subcutaneous infusion of Ang II (24 g/kg/h) for 28 days into male Sprague-Dawley rats increased systolic blood pressure (174.7 ± 6.3 mmHg), compared to saline-infused animals (125.8 ± 4.5 mmHg, n = 6, p < 0.01) or rats infused with Ang-(1-7) alone (s.c., 24 g/kg/h for 28 days; 127.4 ± 3.7, n = 6); however, co-treatment with Ang-(1-7) did not alter the Ang II-induced increase in blood pressure (168.3 ± 8.3 mmHg). Microscopic evaluation of cardiac myocyte cross-sectional area (MCSA) showed that Ang II significantly increased MCSA (33%) compared to saline- infused controls, while co-infusion of Ang-(1-7) significantly prevented the Ang II-mediated increase in MCSA (p < 0.001). In addition, hearts of animals infused with Ang II showed a marked increase in atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) mRNA (3.76 ± 0.53) and brain natiruretic peptide (BNP) mRNA, markers of cardiac hypertrophy, compared to saline-infused animals (1.02 ± 0.06). Concomitant treatment with Ang-(1-7) significantly attenuated the increase in ANP and BNP mRNA (1.043 ± 0.11). These data indicate that the heptapeptide attenuates cardiac myocyte hypertrophy in this hypertensive model.
Our previous studies demonstrated that Ang-(1-7) reduces the growth of cardiac myocytes in vitro, in association with a reduction in ERK1/ERK2 mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase activities. Ang II infusion significantly increased phosphorylation of ERK1/ERK2 (0.89 ± 0.45, n = 6, p < 0.05) when compared to saline-infused animals (0.18 ± 0.07). In contrast, co-infusion with Ang-(1-7) significantly decreased the Ang II-induced ERK1/ERK2 activation. (0.19 ± 0.11). Previous studies demonstrated that stimulation of MAP kinases is associated with cardiac hypertrophy while over-expression of the MAP kinase phosphatase MKP-1 (the dual-specificity phosphatase, DUSP-1) reduced cardiac hypertrophy. Ang-(1-7) significantly increased DUSP-1 protein expression in the heart (2.64 ± 0.68, n = 6, p < 0.05) compared to animals treated with saline (0.90 ±.0.30). Co-infusion of Ang II and Ang-(1-7) markedly enhanced the…

▼ Sex differences in hypertension and tissue injury are evident in experimental models and human subjects, yet the mechanisms underlying this disparity remain equivocal. The prevalence of hypertension in the United States has increased over the past century and progresses at a faster rate in men than in premenopausal women. The renin-angiotensin system (RAS) contributes to the development and maintenance of hypertension. Angiotensin II (Ang II) and angiotensin-(1-7) are two peptides derived from the RAS that possess vasoconstrictive and vasodilatory actions, respectively. Ang II contributes to hypertension and effective antihypertensive treatments involve enzyme inhibition and receptor blockade to prevent the effects of Ang II. Estrogen may provide a protective effect in women because the hormone exerts an inhibitory action on Ang II production and activity. Therefore, the current studies sought to define the extent of female-male differences in the circulating and renal RAS of the mRen(2).Lewis, a monogenetic model of Ang II-dependent hypertension that overexpresses the mouse renin 2 (Ren-2) gene, and the control Lewis rats. Male mRen(2).Lewis rats have significantly higher blood pressure, plasma and renal Ang II than male Lewis rats. Furthermore, mRen(2).Lewis rats also exhibit a marked sex difference both in the extent of hypertension and Ang II that is not present in the Lewis strain. Plasma renin, angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE), and Ang I are lower in female mRen(2).Lewis as compared to male mRen(2).Lewis rats. In association with lower blood pressure, female mRen(2).Lewis expressed greater Ang-(1-7) suggesting a protective vasodilatory mechanism. Moreover, evaluation of the intrarenal RAS revealed a similar sex difference in the RAS of the mRen(2).Lewis that was not present in the Lewis strain. Renal Ang II was lower, while cortical neprilysin, an enzyme that degrades Ang II and generates Ang-(1-7) from Ang I, was significantly higher in female versus male mRen(2).Lewis. Neprilysin is stimulated by estrogen and may contribute to lower blood pressure through the renal metabolism of Ang II, as well as the formation of Ang-(1-7). Therefore, we determined whether chronic administration of the neprilysin inhibitor SCH 39370 would increase blood pressure and Ang II levels in female mRen(2).Lewis rats. Following a two week treatment, blood pressure was significantly decreased by 20 mm Hg. Neither circulating nor urinary Ang II and Ang-(1-7) levels were altered by neprilysin inhibition. In conclusion, our studies revealed that the increased expression of renal neprilysin in the female mRen(2).Lewis rat does not contribute to the sex-dependent difference in blood pressure for this model of hypertension.

▼ The role of the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN) in cardiovascular and neuroendocrine regulation has been well documented. Much remains unknown however about the integration of synaptic signals within this nucleus and the neuronal subtypes and chemical messengers governing these processes. Angiotensin II (ANG) has been demonstrated to act as a neurotransmitter in PVN where it exerts considerable influence on neuronal excitability. The studies within this thesis were undertaken to delineate the actions of ANG on the membrane properties of PVN neurons and its effect on synaptic transmission within this nucleus.
We report that ANG activates a nitric oxide mediated negative feedback loop in the PVN. The magnitude of the depolarizing response to ANG appears to be dependant on this GABAergic inhibitory input demonstrating there exists within PVN an intrinsic negative feedback loop which modulates neuronal excitability in response to peptidergic excitation. We also demonstrate that the depolarizing response to ANG in magnocellular neurons is in part dependent upon increases in glutamatergic excitatory synaptic input. These data in combination highlight the multiple levels of synaptic integration controlling the output of magnocellular neurons in PVN.
PVN also contains significant populations of neurosecretory parvocellular neurons which exercise considerable influence over the adenohypophysis and therefore neuroendocrine regulation. ANG caused an AT1 receptor mediated depolarization of these neurosecretory neurons. Voltage-clamp analysis revealed that ANG activated a non-selective cationic current and reduced a sustained potassium current characteristic of IK. These studies identify multiple post-synaptic modulatory sites through which ANG can influence the excitability of neurosecretory parvocellular PVN neurons.
The findings in this thesis provide the framework for a cellular model of action of ANG within PVN to regulate the activity of this nucleus not only through direct cellular mediated ion channel interactions but also through modulation of synaptic input within the magnocellular system of PVN.

▼ Hypertension and diabetes have long been closely linked. As such, the major player in the renin,
angiotensin system,
angiotensin II, has recently been investigated for its effects on metabolism and diabetes. Since skeletal muscle is one of the most metabolically active tissues, this study investigates the effects of
angiotensin II specifically on skeletal muscle. In this study, L6 skeletal muscle cells were treated with
angiotensin II for either 3 or 24 hours and a number of effects were investigated. Fatty acid oxidation and lipid synthesis was measured using [1-14C]-palmitate, glucose oxidation and glycogen synthesis were measured using 14C-glucose. In addition,mitochondrial oxidative capacity was measured using an XF 24 Flux Analyzer (Seahorse Bioscience) and reactive oxygen species measured using confocal microscopy. The clinical study involving the drug Benicar ® investigated the metabolic effects of blocking
angiotensin II on skeletal muscle fatty acid oxidation, glucose oxidation, and oxidative and glycolytic enzyme activity. In L6 cells,
angiotensin II significantly reduced fatty acid oxidation after 24 hours (p<0.01) and 3 hours (p<0.001) if
angiotensin II was present during oxidation experiments. It also significantly reduced mitochondrial oxidative capacity (p<0.05) after 24 hours and significantly increased reactive oxygen species production (p<0.05) over 3 hours. The clinical study showed no significant effects of Benicar® on fatty acid or glucose oxidation or any enzyme activities.

▼ O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar se a infusão de angiotensina II (ANG II) modulava a expressão do receptor B1 (RB1) de cininas em aorta (AO),arteríolas mesentéricas (AM) de ratos Wistar e também verificar a influência do RB1 na pressão arterial e reatividade desses vasos sanguíneos através do agonista de RB1, DABK. Os ratos receberam por 28 dias infusão de ANG II ou de ANG II e antagonista de RB1. O DABK induziu relaxamento dependente de endotélio e NO em anéis de AO de ratos ANG II. A infusão de ANG II causou hipertensão arterial, aumento da expressão de RNAm de RB1 em AO e AM, da expressão protéica de RB1 em AO e disfunção endotelial caracterizada por diminuída resposta á acetilcolina (ACH).O antagonista de B1R não interferiu no desenvolvimento de hipertensão e na disfunção endotelial causada, mas aumentou a sensibilidade da AO à ACH e a expressão de NO Sintase nos ratos ANG II. Esses resultados nos permitem sugerir que a ANG II e cininas podem atuar sinergicamente no desenvolvimento das alterações vasculares observadas nesse modelo de hipertensão arterial.
The aim of the present study was to evaluate whether the angiotensin II (ANG II) infusion modulates the kinin B1 receptor (B1R) mRNA, protein expression in aorta (AO) and mesenteric arterioles (MA) in Wistar rats. It was also verified the role of RB1 in the control of blood pressure and vascular reactivity using DABK a B1R agonist Rats were infused either with ANG II (400ng/Kg/min) or ANG II plus RB1antagonist(350ng/Kg/min) during 28 days.DABK induced endothelium-NO dependent relaxation in AO of ANG II rats. ANG II infusion caused hypertension, increased RB1 mRNA expression in AO and MA, protein expression in AO and caused endothelial dysfunction, characterized as a decreased maximal response to acetylcholine (ACH). The B1R antagonist did not interfere in the development of hypertension and endothelium dysfunction caused by ANG II, however, increased the sensitivity to ACH and NO synthase expression in AO of ANG II rats. Altogether, we may suggest that ANG II and kinins can act synergistically in the development of vascular changes in this model of hypertension.

▼ O sistema renina-angiotensina (SRA) circulante é um sistema endócrino que promove a produção de angiotensina (Ang) II, a qual exerce seus efeitos pela interação com receptores específicos. O conceito clássico do SRA circulante está sendo modificado, pois tem sido demonstrada a existência de sistemas locais capazes de gerar angiotensinas de forma independente do SRA circulante em vários tecidos e órgãos. Trabalhos recentes sugerem a existência de alguns componentes do SRA em tecido gengival e fibroblastos gengivais de diferentes espécies. Porém, não são encontrados na literatura achados inequívocos sobre a presença de importantes componentes do SRA, tais como renina e angiotensinogênio, no tecido gengival de rato. Portanto, os objetivos do presente trabalho foram: 1) estudar a expressão e localização de componentes do SRA no tecido gengival de rato e 2) estudar in vitro a funcionalidade do SRA local em homogenato de tecido gengival de rato quanto à formação de Ang II e outros peptídeos vasoativos a partir de precursores de Ang II. Transcrição reversa seguida de reação em cadeia da polimerase (RTPCR) foi utilizada para avaliar a expressão de RNAm. Análise imunohistoquímica foi utilizada para detecção e localização de renina no tecido gengival de rato. Um método fluorimétrico padronizado com o tripeptídeo Hipuril-Histidina-Leucina (Hip-His-Leu) foi usado para medir a atividade da ECA em homogenatos de tecido gengival de rato. A técnica de cromatografia líqüida de alto desempenho (HPLC) foi usada para analisar os produtos formados após a incubação de homogenatos de tecido gengival de rato com Ang I ou tetradecapeptídeo substrato de renina (TDP). RT-PCR revelou a expressão de RNAm para renina, angiotensinogênio, ECA e receptores de Ang II (AT1a, AT1b e AT2) em tecido gengival; em fibroblastos cultivados de tecido gengival foi observada expressão de RNAm para renina, angiotensinogênio e receptor AT1a. A técnica de imunohistoquímica demonstrou a existência de renina em vasos de tecido gengival de rato. Atividade da ECA foi detectada por meio do ensaio fluorimétrico (4,95±0,89 nmol His-Leu/g.min). Quando Ang I foi usada como substrato, análises de HPLC mostraram a formação de Ang 1-9 (0,576±0,128 nmol/mg.min), Ang II (0,066±0,008 nmol/mg.min) e Ang 1-7 (0,111±0,017 nmol/mg.min), enquanto que os mesmos peptídeos (0,139±0,031; 0,206±0,046 e 0,039±0,007 nmol/mg.min, respectivamente) e Ang I (0,973±0,139 nmol/mg.min) foram formados quando TDP foi usado como substrato. Adicionalmente, análises de HPLC revelaram a ausência de enzimas que degradam Ang II em homogenatos de tecido gengival de rato. Em conclusão, os resultados apresentados neste trabalho mostram claramente a existência de um SRA local em tecido gengival de rato, que é capaz de gerar Ang II e outros peptídeos vasoativos in vitro. Estudos adicionais são necessários para elucidar o papel deste sistema local no tecido gengival de rato.

▼ Em roedores, a administração de Losartan (LO) durante a nefrogênese (primeiras duas semanas de vida) leva à insuficiência renal progressiva e, mais tardiamente, à hipertensão, indicando que a Angiotensina II (AII) é indispensável a uma nefrogênese adequada. Os mediadores intracelulares desse efeito são desconhecidos. Nós investigamos se o sistema NF-kB, que tem influência na embriogênese de outros tecidos, poderia ser um desses mediadores. Trinta e duas ratas Munich Wistar, cada uma amamentando 6 filhotes, foram divididas em dois grupos: C, sem tratamento, e PDTC, que receberam o inibidor do NF-kB Pirrolidina Ditiocarbamato (PDTC), 280 mg/kg/dia na água de beber durante 21 dias. A prole (C e PDTC), constituída de ratos machos, foi acompanhada até 10 meses de vida sem qualquer tratamento. Diferentemente do observado anteriormente com o LO, o PDTC não promoveu redução do número de néfrons nem albuminúria, indicando que o sistema NF-kB não participa crucialmente da nefrogênese. No entanto, os ratos que receberam o PDTC durante a lactação apresentaram hipertensão persistente, associada a hipertrofia de miócitos e a fibrose miocárdica. Para investigar a patogênese da hipertensão (que não se pode explicar por uma redução no número de néfrons), as expressões renais dos componentes do sistema renina-angiotensina (SRA) e dos transportadores tubulares foram determinadas por PCR em tempo real (qRT-PCR) aos 3 e 10 meses de vida. Aos 3 meses, a expressão de angiotensinogênio (AGT) e renina foram significativamente aumentadas no grupo PDTC vs C, indicando que uma ativação local do SRA pode explicar o desenvolvimento da hipertensão no grupo PDTC. No entanto, a expressão de todos os componentes do SRA examinados nos animais que receberam o PDTC durante a nefrogênese estava diminuída aos 10 meses, possivelmente devido a um mecanismo compensatório, sugerindo que a hipertensão foi mantida por outros mecanismos. No túbulo proximal, observou-se um aumento da expressão do transportador sódio/glicose isoforma 1 (SGLT1) (luminal) e sódio/bicarbonato (NBC) (basolateral), bem como um aumento numérico na expressão do trocador luminal sódio/hidrogênio isoforma 3 (NHE3), sugerindo que essas anormalidades podem estar envolvidas na patogênese da hipertensão nesses animais. Aos 10 meses, a expressão de todas as moléculas estava diminuída, sugerindo a participação de outros mecanismos na manutenção da hipertensão em longo prazo. A administração de PDTC pode representar um novo modelo de hipertensão essencial, possivelmente iniciada pela ativação local do SRA e por anormalidades no transporte de sódio no túbulo proximal e mantida em longo prazo por outros mecanismos.
Losartan treatment during late murine nephrogenesis (first 2 weeks of extrauterine life) causes progressive renal injury in adult life and, at more advanced stages, hypertension, indicating a physiologic action of angiotensin II on nephrogenesis. The possible intracellular pathways that might mediate this effect are unknown. We investigated the possibility that the NF-kB system, known…

▼ As espécies reativas de oxigênio (EROs) são intermediários de vias de sinalização que regulam eventos celulares relevantes na função de células musculares lisas vasculares como migração, proliferação e contração. A NADPH oxidase é a principal fonte enzimática de EROs com finalidade sinalizadora no sistema cardiovascular. Estudos do nosso grupo demonstraram que a proteína dissulfeto isomerase (PDI), uma chaperona redox do retículo endoplasmåtico é capaz de modular a geração de EROs e a ativação de vias de sinalização redox dependentes pela Ang II. Apesar dos recentes avanços na compreensão dos mecanismos que regulam a interação entre a PDI e NADPH oxidase, o papel desta chaperona nos efeitos biológicos relacionados a EROs, como a contração vascular, não estão esclarecidos. A inibição da resposta contrátil pelo DTNB, um oxidante de tióis sugere o envolvimento de proteínas contendo tióis como a PDI e a NADPH oxidase na contração de aortas isoladas estimuladas com Ang II. Estes resultados foram confirmados por experimentos que demonstraram a expressão de PDI em todas as camadas vasculares da aorta de ratos Wistar e uma co-localização desta proteína com a isoforma NOX-1. A inibição da PDI diminuiu a geração de EROs e a reatividade vascular induzida por Ang II e NOR independente da presença do endotélio. A investigação dos mecanismos envolvidos sugere um papel da PDI na mobilização de cálcio dos estoques intracelulares via NADPH oxidase. A ativação de MAP quinases contribuiu para aumentar a mobilização de cálcio intracelular em aortas estimuladas com Ang II e NOR. No entanto, a inibição da PDI reduziu a fosforilação da ERK 1/2 em aortas estimuladas com Ang II, mas não com NOR. A análise conjunta dos nossos resultados sugere que mecanismos redox dependentes e independentes estariam envolvidos na regulação da resposta contrátil à Ang II e NOR pela PDI.
The reactive oxygen species (ROS) are intermediates of signaling pathways which regulates cellular events relevant for the vascular smooth cells function as migration, proliferation and contraction.The NADPH oxidase is the main enzimatic source of ROS with the signaling purpose on the cardiovascular system. We previously demonstrated that the protein disulfide isomerase (PDI), a redox chaperone of endoplasmic reticulum, is able to modulate the ROS generation and the activation of signaling redox ways dependent of Ang II. Although the recent advances in the understanding of mechanisms that regulate the interaction of PDI and NADPH oxidase, the role of this chaperone in the biological effects related to ROS, as vascular contraction, are not well clarified. The inhibition of the contractile response by DTNB, an oxidant thiol, suggest the involvement of proteins containing thiols as the PDI and NADPH oxidase in the contraction of isolated aortas stimulated with Ang II. These results were confirmed by experiments that demonstrated the PDI expression in Wistar rats vascular layers and a co-localization of this protein with the NOX-1 isoform. The PDI inhibition decreased ROS…

▼ INTRODUÇÃO: Alterações musculares foram verificadas em estudos clínicos e experimentais sobre obesidade. Há evidência que a angiotensina
II (AngII) está aumentada sistemicamente na obesidade, porém o seu papel na modulação de modificações musculares na obesidade ainda não foi elucidado. OBJETIVO: Avaliar a influência do bloqueio do receptor de angiotensina
II sobre vias sinalizadoras envolvidas na modulação do fenótipo muscular em ratos submetidos à dieta hiperlipídica. MATERIAIS E MÉTODOS : Ratos Wistar machos (n=48, 30 dias de idade) foram distribuídos em dois grupos: C e DH. O grupo controle (C) foi tratado com dieta normocalórica e os animais do grupo DH com dieta hiperlipídica. O período experimental teve duração de 20 semanas. Na 16ª semana, cada grupo foi subdividido: C e C+Lo s; DH e DH+Los. Os grupos C e DH continuaram recebendo as respectivas dietas durante mais quatro semanas. Os grupos C+Los e DH+Los, além do suporte nutricional, foram tratados com losartan (30 mg/kg/dia). Foram realizadas as seguintes análises dos músculos sóleo e gastrocnêmio (porção branca): mensuração da área seccional transversa das fibras musculares, quantificação da fração intersticial de colágeno, avaliação da expressão proteica do receptor AT1 e de JNK. RESULTADOS: Os animais alimentados com dieta hiperlipídica apresentaram aumento da área seccional transversa das fibras do músculo gastrocnêmio, associado à diminuição da ativação da JNK e aumento na expressão dos receptores AT1. O losartan reduziu a expressão de AT1 nos músculo sóleo e gastrocnêmio e reduziu a fração intersticial de colágeno no músculo sóleo no grupo alimentado com dieta hiperlipídica. CONCLUSÕES: O consumo de dieta hiperlipídica está associado com alterações morfológicas e moleculares na musculatura esquelética, porém de forma diferenciada em músculos com predominância de fibras lentas ou de fibras rápidas. Ademais, essas alterações são parcialmente moduladas pela angiotensina
II.

▼ Periostin is a 90‑kDa extracellular matrix protein, which is secreted primarily from fibroblasts and is expressed in the lungs, kidneys and heart valves. Angiotensin II (AT‑II) serves pivotal roles in the pathogenesis of several diseases with accompanying fibrosis, including chronic liver diseases. AT‑II induces periostin expression by regulating transforming growth factor‑β1 (TGF‑β1)/Smad signaling during cardiac fibrosis. The aim of the present study was to investigate the interaction between AT‑II and periostin during liver fibrosis development. Fischer 344 rats were fed a choline‑deficient L‑amino‑acid (CDAA)‑defined diet for 12 weeks to simulate the development of steatohepatitis with liver fibrosis. Losartan, an AT‑II type I receptor blocker, was administered to inhibit the effect of AT‑II. The therapeutic effect of losartan on hepatic fibrosis development and on periostin expression was then evaluated. Several in vitro experiments were performed to examine the mechanisms underlying the interaction between AT‑II and periostin in activated hepatic stellate cells (Ac‑HSCs). Treatment with losartan suppressed the development of liver fibrosis induced by the CDAA diet, and reduced hepatic periostin expression. In addition, losartan treatment suppressed hepatic Ac‑HSC expansion and hepatic TGF‑β1 expression. In vitro analysis using LX2 HSC cells indicated that AT‑II can augment TGF‑β1 and collagen type I α1 mRNA expression via periostin expression, suggesting that the interaction between AT‑II and periostin may serve a role in liver fibrosis development. In conclusion, blockade of AT‑II‑induced periostin may suppress the progression of liver fibrosis development.

▼ Diabetes is a world-wide epidemic; 90-95% of diabetes cases are type 2 in nature. Albuminuria and hypertension are risk factors of diabetes complications, specifically nephropathy and cardiovascular disease.
Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) or
angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) are recommended as monotherapy to reduce albuminuria and hypertension. Because of this, we sought to compare patients with type 2 diabetes (P2DM) who received neither therapy to those who received either monotherapy for end-stage renal disease (ESRD), cardio- and cerebro- vascular disease, and all-cause mortality. Additionally, because there are very limited data on comparisons between ACEI and ARB therapies, none of which compare occurrence of incident cardio- or cerebro- vascular disease or mortality, these monotherapies were compared. Moreover, because diabetes incidence is expected to increase, healthcare utilization was also analyzed. This longitudinal study followed P2DM maximally for five years. Comparisons between patients receiving neither therapy and either monotherapy were performed with multivariate logistic or negative binomial regression, while comparisons between ACEI and ARB patients were performed with propensity score weighted logistic or negative binomial regression. Compared to neither therapy, ACEI patients were associated with lower odds of ESRD, higher odds of incident cardio- or cerebro- vascular disease events, lower odds of mortality, and higher incidence rates of healthcare utilization. Treatment selection existed between ACEI and ARB monotherapies in P2DM, necessitating propensity score analysis (PSA). Fortunately, the PSA balanced between group characteristics and had substantial overlap in propensity scores between groups, allowing for precise estimates of causal interpretation. No differences were found between ACEI and ARB monotherapies for all endpoints studied. Since only associations can be found between comparisons of ACEI and ARB patients with neither patients and because ACEIs or ARBs are recommended in guidelines, significance is focused on comparisons between ACEI and ARB patients. This is the second study lasting more than a year comparing outcomes of ACEI and ARB monotherapies for nephropathy and the first study comparing ACEI and ARB monotherapies for other endpoints. This study confirms that ACEIs and ARBs have no significant difference in effects for two years mean follow-up. Until this study, similar effects have only been assumed.

▼ Oxidative stress is associated with development and progression of cardiovascular disease.
Angiotensin II produces oxidative stress and endothelial dysfunction, and its actions may be attenuated by the activity of
angiotensin converting enzyme type 2 (ACE2) which converts
angiotensin II to the vasoprotective peptide
angiotensin (1-7). Similarly, increased oxidative stress is associated with aortic valve stenosis in humans and mice. In my thesis studies, I explore mechanisms of modulation and generation of oxidative stress in cerebral arteries and heart valves. First, I tested the hypothesis that ACE2 deficiency increases oxidative stress and vasomotor dysfunction in cerebral arteries, and examined the role of ACE2 in vascular aging. Vasomotor function was assessed in the basilar artery ex vivo of adult and old ACE2 deficient (ACE2-/y) and wild type (WT or ACE2+/y) mice. ACE2 was present, but at relatively low levels in cerebral arteries. Systolic blood pressure was similar in adult and old ACE2-/y and ACE2+/y mice. Maximal dilatation to acetylcholine was impaired in the basilar artery from adult ACE2-/y mice compared to adult ACE2+/y. In old mice, maximal vasodilatation to acetylcholine was impaired in ACE2+/y mice and severely impaired in ACE2-/y mice. The antioxidant tempol improved responses to acetylcholine in adult and old ACE2-/y and ACE2+/y mice. Nitrotyrosine staining in the basilar artery was increased in adult ACE2-/y mice and in old ACE2-/y and ACE2+/y mice relative to adult ACE2+/y, which indicates that oxidative stress was higher in cerebral arteries from ACE2 deficient mice and old mice. Expression of NADPH oxidase subunits Nox2 and p47phox, and of pro-inflammatory molecules Rcan1 and TNF alpha; was increased in cerebral arteries from old ACE2-/y and ACE2+/y mice. Additionally, I tested the hypothesis that serotonin induces oxidative stress in human heart valves, and examined mechanisms by which serotonin may increase reactive oxygen species (ROS). Superoxide (O2.-) was measured in heart valves from explanted human hearts that were not used for transplantation. Superoxide levels (lucigenin-enhanced chemiluminescence) were increased in homogenates of cardiac valves and pulmonary artery after incubation with serotonin. A non-specific inhibitor of flavin-oxidases (DPI), or inhibitors of monoamine oxidase-MAO (tranylcypromine and clorgyline), prevented serotonin-induced increase in O2.-. Dopamine, another MAO substrate which is increased in patients with carcinoid syndrome, also increased superoxide levels in heart valves, and this effect was attenuated by clorgyline. Apocynin did not prevent increases in O2.- during serotonin treatment. Addition of serotonin to recombinant human MAO-A generated superoxide, and this effect was prevented by an MAO inhibitor. In conclusion, I have demonstrated that ACE2 deficiency impairs vasomotor function in cerebral arteries from adult mice and augments endothelial dysfunction during aging. Oxidative stress plays a critical role in…

▼ Cardiovascular diseases remain the leading cause of morbidity and mortality within Australian society and worldwide. Hypertension is a major contributing factor to the development of many cardiovascular diseases. One proposed cause of hypertension is the dysfuction of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS). The RAS plays a critical role in cardiovascular homeostasis by regulating blood pressure (BP) and fluid electrolyte balance. Due to this close relationship between the RAS and the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases, the studies outlined in this thesis attempt to further understand the complexities behind the RAS within the brain and how angiotensin II (Ang II) regulates BP. This is done with the use of transgenic mice with targeted deletion of RAS components together with viral vectors designed to induce cell-specific transgene expression in the rostral ventrolateral medulla (RVLM) of the brainstem.
In Chapter 3, I examined whether targeted deletion of the angiotensinogen gene (Agt) altered brain Ang II receptor density and responsiveness to Ang II. There was overall little change in the receptor distribution and density in most brain regions in mice deficient for Agt compared to wild-types. I observed a small increase in the density of AT1 receptors in the RVLM of the Agt knockout mice, yet there was a diminished response to exogenous Ang II microinjection in the RVLM. This suggests that global deletion of Agt does not affect the expression of brain Ang II receptors, and that signal transduction pathways may be altered in RVLM neurons of Agt knockout mice, resulting in attenuated cellular excitation.
In Chapter 4, I examined the effect of restoration of the functionally important Ang AT1A receptor via viral delivery designed to target cell-specific transgenic expression. First, I demonstrated that the response to Ang II microinjection in the RVLM was totally abolished in mice deficient for the AT1A receptor. This means that the Ang II-mediated excitation of RVLM neurons in adult mice is dependent upon the AT1A receptor with little or no effect of type 1B or 2 receptors. Another key finding was that the expression of the AT1A receptor predominantly in C1 catecholamine neurons restores the response to Ang II in the AT1A receptor deficient mice, demonstrating that these neurons are sympatho-excitatory.
Increased BP reactivity to emotional stress is considered a risk factor for the development of cardiovascular diseases. In Chapter 5, I examined the involvement of AT1A receptors in the C1 catecholamine neurons of the RVLM in the cardiovascular responses to aversive and positive stimuli in conscious mice. I demonstrated a direct role for endogenous brain angiotensin acting in the RVLM on C1 neurons in the response to aversive stressors. These results provide direct support for the involvement of C1 neurons in the RVLM in the pressor responses to aversive, but not positive stimuli.

▼ Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit wurde die Rolle von myelomonozytären Zellen, IFN-gamma (Interferon gamma), MyD88 (myeloid differentiation factor 88) und zugrundeliegenden Signalwege in der Angiotensin II (ATII)-induzierten vaskulären Inflammation, Dysfunktion und arteriellen Hypertonie untersucht. Wie bereits veröffentlichte Vordaten aus meiner Arbeitsgruppe zeigten, schützt die Depletion von Lysozym M (LysM)+ myelomonozytären Zellen (Diphteriatoxin-vermittelt in Mäusen, die transgen für den humanen Diphtheriatoxin-Rezeptor sind, LysMiDTR Mäuse) vor der ATII-induzierten vaskulären Dysfunktion und arterieller Hypertonie, und kann durch adoptiven Zelltransfer von Wildtyp Monozyten wiederhergestellt werden. In meiner Arbeit konnte ich zeigen, dass die Rekonstitution von Monozyten-depletierten LysMiDTR Mäusen mit Wildtyp Monozyten den Phänotyp der vaskulären Dysfunktion wiederherstellen kann, die Rekonstitution mit gp91phox-/y oder Agtr1-/- Monozyten jedoch nicht. Die Hypertonus-mediierenden Effekte dieser infiltrierenden Monozyten scheinen demnach von der intakten ATII und NADPH Oxidase Signalübertragung in diesen Zellen abhängig zu sein. Vermutlich ebenfalls für die Aktivierung der Monozyten funktionell wichtig sind IFN-gamma, produziert durch NK-Zellen, und der Transkriptionsfaktor T-bet (T-box expressed in T cells), exprimiert von NK-Zellen und Monozyten. IFN-gamma-/- Mäuse waren partiell geschützt vor der ATII-induzierten vaskulären Dysfunktion und charakterisiert durch reduzierte Level an Superoxid im Gefäß im Vergleich zu ATII-infundierten Wildtyp Mäusen. IFN-gamma-/- und T-bet defiziente Tbx21-/- Mäuse zeichneten sich ferner durch eine reduzierte ATII-mediierte Rekrutierung von NK1.1+ NK-Zellen, als ein Hautproduzent von IFN-gamma, sowie CD11b+GR-1low Interleukin-12 (IL-12) kompetenten Monozyten aus. Durch Depletions- und adoptive Transferexperimente konnte ich in dieser Arbeit NK-Zellen als essentielle Mitstreiter in der vaskulären Dysfunktion identifizieren und stellte fest, dass T-bet+LysM+ myelomonozytäre Zellen für die NK-Zellrekrutierung in die Gefäßwand und lokale IFN-gamma Produktion benötigt werden. Damit wurde erstmals NK-Zellen eine essentielle Rolle in der ATII-induzierten vaskulären Dysfunktion zugeschrieben. Außerdem wurde der T-bet-IFN-gamma Signalweg und die gegenseitige Monozyten-NK-Zellaktivierung als ein potentielles therapeutisches Ziel in kardiovaskulären Erkrankungen aufgedeckt. Des Weiteren identifizierte ich in meiner Arbeit MyD88 als ein zentrales Signalmolekül in der ATII-getriebenen Inflammation und vaskulären Gefäßschädigung. MyD88 Defizienz reduzierte den ATII-induzierten Anstieg des systolischen Blutdrucks und die endotheliale und glattmuskuläre vaskuläre Dysfunktion. Zusätzlich waren die vaskuläre Superoxid-Bildung sowie die Expressionslevel der NADPH Oxidase, der wichtigsten Quelle für oxidativem Stress im Gefäß, in ATII-infundierten MyD88-/- Mäusen im Vergleich zum Wildtyp reduziert. Mit Hilfe von durchflusszytometrischen Analysen deckte ich zudem auf, dass die ATII-induzierte…

▼ Angiotensin II induziert intrazellulär die Bildung reaktiver Sauerstoffspezies, welche DNA-Schäden erzeugen können. Um die Hypothese zu prüfen, dass durch Angiotensin II induzierte DNA-Schäden für die erhöhte Krebsinzidenz hypertensiver Menschen verantwortlich sind, wurde eine vierwöchige Behandlung von Mäusen mit Angiotensin II (0,6 μg/kg/min) durchgeführt. Mit der Alkalischen Elution wurden in Zellen aus verschiedenen Organen der Mäuse die Menge an DNA-Einzelstrangbrüchen und oxidativen DNA-Modifikationen bestimmt. In der Niere wurde außerdem mit dem BigBlue® Mutations-Assay die Entstehung von Mutationen analysiert. In keinem der analysierten Organe konnte eine Erhöhung der DNA-Schäden oder eine Erhöhung der Mutationsfrequenzen durch die Angiotensin II-Behandlung nachgewiesen werden. Die durchgeführten Untersuchungen geben somit keinen Hinweis auf eine DNA-schädigende und mutagene Wirkung von Angiotensin II.rnBei der Entstehung und dem Krankheitsverlauf von Arteriosklerose spielen reaktive Sauerstoffspezies ebenfalls eine noch nicht genau geklärte Rolle. Um zu ermitteln, ob oxidative DNA-Schäden die Entstehung der Arteriosklerose begünstigen, wurde die Endothelfunktion von Wildtyp- und reparaturdefizienten Ogg1-/ – Mäusen verglichen. Entgegen der Vermutung, dass oxidative DNA-Modifikationen die Endothelfunktion verschlechtern, zeigen die Untersuchungen, dass Ogg1-/ – Mäuse, die höhere Spiegel an oxidativen DNA-Modifikationen in ihrem Genom haben, eine signifikant bessere Endothelfunktion besitzen als Wildtyptiere. Dieser Befund weist auf eine neuartige, von der DNA-Reparatur unabhängige Funktion von OGG1 hin.rn
Angiotensin II intracellularly stimulates the generation of reactive oxygen species, which can induce DNA damage. In order to test the hypothesis that DNA damage generated by angiotensin II is responsible for the elevated cancer incidence of hypertensive people, we treated mice for 4 weeks with angiotensin II (0.6 μg/kg/min) and quantified the frequencies of oxidative DNA modifications (using an Alkaline Elution assay) and mutations in kidneys (using a BigBlue® mutation assay). No increase of DNA damage or mutation frequencies following angiotensin II treatment were detected in any of the organs analyzed. The results do not support the assumption that angiotensin II is genotoxic in vivo.rnThe role of reactive oxygen species in the etiology of atherosclerosis has not yet been fully established. To determine whether oxidative DNA damage promotes atherosclerosis, we compared the endothelial function of wild-type and repair deficient Ogg1-/ – mice. Contrary to the expectation that oxidative DNA damage impairs the endothelial function, the data shows that Ogg1-/ – mice (with higher levels of oxidative DNA modifications in their genome) have a better endothelial function than wild-type mice. These results indicate a new, from DNA repair independent function of OGG1.rn

O estudo foi feito in vivo em camundongos isogênicos C57Bl/6J submetidos a tratamento durante 7 e 14 dias com doses subpressoras de Ang II, bloqueador do receptor AT1 (Losartan) e uma combinação destes. Os animais foram sacrificados e procedeu-se a coleta de tecidos de artérias (aorta, carótida e femoral), coração, rins e pulmão para análise da síntese e degradação de componentes da MEC. Foram feitas avaliações hemodinâmicas, morfológicas em microscopia de luz, morfométricas, imunohistoquímicas para os componentes da matriz extracelular: colágeno (tipos I, III, IV e VI), fibronectina, tenascina-C, elastina, metaloproteinases (tipos 2 e 9), e quantificação de algumas proteínas ligadas à sinalização intracelular da via das Proteínas quinases ativadas por mitógenos (MAPK - Mitogen-activated protein kinases) usando-se Western Blotting.
In this study we evaluated the action of Angiotensin II (Ang II) and the blockade of AT1 and AT2 receptors in the remodeling of extracellular matrix (ECM) and outlines the process involved in intracellular signaling. The study was done in vivo in C57Bl/6J inbred mice undergoing treatment for 7 and 14 days subpressor doses of Ang II, AT1 receptor blocker (Losartan) and a combination thereof. The animals were sacrificed and proceeded to collect tissues of arteries (aorta, carotid and femoral arteries), heart, kidneys and lungs for analysis of the synthesis and degradation of ECM components. We assessed hemodynamic, morphological light microscopy, morphometry, immunohistochemistry for extracellular matrix components: collagen (types I, III, IV and VI), fibronectin, tenascin-C, elastin, metalloproteinases (types 2 and 9) and quantification of some proteins related to intracellular signaling pathways of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) using Western Blotting.

▼ Neste estudo, avaliamos e caracterizamos o efeito de Ang II em leito venular mesentérico (LVM) e anéis de veia porta (AVP) de wistar e SHR. A reatividade vascular para Ang II foi estudada na presença e ausência de diferentes antagonistas para elucidar os mecanismos envolvidos na venoconstrição induzida por Ang II. Nossos resultados sugerem que a Ang II induz venoconstrição através da ativação de receptores AT1 e AT2 em Wistar e receptor AT1 em SHR. Essa venoconstrição parece ser contrabalanceada pelo receptor B2 em ambas as espécies. NO contribue para este efeito em wistar e metabólitos da COX em SHR. Há redução da venoconstrição induzida por Ang II em AVP de SHR que pode estar relacionado a redução da expressão protéica de receptores AT2. Esses resultados indicam diferentes mecanismos de regulação do tônus venoso de ratos wistar e SHR em resposta a Ang II que podem ter relevância no controle do retorno venoso e débito cardíaco.
In this study we have evaluated and characterized the effect of Ang II in the isolated perfused mesenteric venular bed (MVB) and portal vein rings (PVR) of SHR and wistar rats. Vascular reactivity to Ang II was studied in the absence and presence of different antagonists to elucidate the mechanisms involved in Ang II-induced venoconstriction. Our results suggest that Ang II induces venoconstriction by activation of AT1 and AT2 receptors in wistar and AT1 receptor in SHR. These venoconstriction seems to be counterbalanced by B2 receptor in both species. NO might contribute to this effect in wistar and COX metabolites in SHR. There is a decrease in Ang II induced venoconstriction in PVR of SHR that might be related to the decrease of protein expression of AT2 receptor. These results indicate different mechanisms of regulation of venous tonus of the SHR and wistar rats induced by Ang II that can be relevant in the control of the venous return and cardiac output.

▼ Accumulating evidence suggests tissue-protective properties of pharmacological
AT2R-stimulation in various animal models of cerebral and cerebrovascular
disease. Further investigation of the neuroprotective properties of
pharmacological AT2R-stimulation is hindered, because common AT2R-agonists
like CGP42112 and the non-peptide agonist Compound 21 cannot penetrate the
blood-brain barrier. Therefore, a new generation of blood-brain barrier-
penetrating AT2R-agonists is being developed. New substances, designed through
chemical alteration of established molecules, need to be reevaluated for
AT2R–affinity and intrinsic activity. Common assays available, e. g. the
Neurite-Outgrowth-assay are considered to be unreliable on the grounds of
subjective analysis and imprecise quantification of results. Therefore, this
project aimed at establishing a reliable and robust in vitro screening of
potential AT2R–agonists for intrinsic activity at the AT2R based on
determining interleukin 6 (IL-6) mRNA expression in THP-1-macrophages. AT2R-
protein expression in THP-1-monocytes was compared with AT2R-protein
expression in PMA-differentiated THP-1-macrophages using Western-Blot
analysis. Effects of LPS- (50 ng/ml) and Compound 21- (1 µM) incubation on
AT2R-protein-expression in THP-1-macrophages were evaluated. THP-1-macrophages
were incubated with LPS (50 ng/ml), co-treated with the novel agents JS5090,
L162-389 and VR0008 (1 µM each) for 6 hours and IL-6-mRNA expression
determined by qPCR. AT2R-agonist Compound 21 was used for reference. AT2R-
agonism was postulated if the substance in question attenuated the increase of
LPS-induced IL-6-mRNA expression. The AT2R -antagonist PD123319 (10 µM) was
used to confirm AT2R -specificity of observed effects. PMA-induced
differentiation of THP-1 monocytes to macrophages increased expression of the
AT2R-receptor-protein tenfold in Western Blot analysis (single experiment, p =
0,0002). Incubation with LPS and Compound 21 each significantly decreased
AT2R-receptor-protein-expression (single experiment, p = 0,0001 and p = 0,0008
respectively). Treatment of THP-1 macrophages with JS5090, L162-389, VR0008,
or Compound 21 did not result in consistent, significant effects on LPS-
induced IL-6-mRNA-expression. JS5090, L162-389 and VR0008 could not be
verified as AT2R-receptor agonists. Since the established AT2R-Agonist
Compound 21 also did not elicit consistent effects on LPS-induced IL-6-mRNA-
expression in our assay, we conclude that the tested assay was of limited
validity probably due to unpredictable effects of PMA-induced differentiation
and LPS-incubation of THP-1-macrophages. Future protocols should be optimized
to achieve controlled and inter-experimentally consistent PMA-induced
differentiation of THP-1-monocytes. In conclusion, the current
IL-6-THP-1-assay has to be regarded as not suitable for the screening of
potential AT2R-receptor agonists.

▼ A doenÃa renal crÃnica (DRC) à caracterizada pela perda normalmente lenta, progressiva e irreversÃvel da funÃÃo renal. Sugere-se que, nesta patologia, a resposta natriurÃtica do organismo à ingestÃo de sal e a expansÃo de volume encontra-se reduzida em consequÃncia da lesÃo dos nÃfrons. Nesse contexto, mostram-se necessÃrios estudos que estabeleÃam uma relaÃÃo entre a DRC e a regulaÃÃo de peptÃdeos natriurÃticos, como guanilina (Gn), uroguanilina (UGn) e peptÃdeo natriurÃtico atrial (PNA), e o efeito da angiotensina
II (AngII) sobre a regulaÃÃo destes peptÃdeos. Assim, buscou-se avaliar uma possÃvel modulaÃÃo da via das guanilinas pelo enalapril no modelo de nefrectomia 5/6 (nx5/6). Utilizou-se ratos Wistar, machos, com peso entre 250-300g. Os animais foram divididos em 4 grupos (n=8): grupos controle sem tratamento ou tratado com enalapril (10mg/kg v.o.) (SHAM e SHAM+E) e grupos submetidos à nx 5/6 sem tratamento ou tratado com enalapril (10 mg/kg v.o.) (Nx e Nx+E). Ao final da 10 semana apÃs a cirurgia, foram determinados alguns marcadores de funÃÃo renal. As amostras de rim foram encaminhadas para anÃlise histolÃgica e avaliaÃÃo expressÃo de RNAm para Gn, UGn, PNA e dos receptores da guanilato ciclase de membrana, GC-A e GC-C e do receptor de clearence (NPR-C). No intestino, determinou-se a expressÃo de RNAm para Gn, UGn e G-C. Nx apresentou os nÃveis sÃricos de creatinina (Nx= 1.28  0.07; SHAM= 0.67  0.02 mg/dL), urÃia (Nx=108.0  5.57; SHAM=96.83  4.08 mg/dL), proteinÃria (Nx=129.10  13.87 SHAM=96.83  4.07; mg/24hrs) e FENa+ (Nx=3.552  0.56; SHAM=1.43  0.16) aumentados, e a TFG (Nx=0.44  0.10  0.04; SHAM=0.97  0.07 mL/min) diminuÃda. Nx+E, quando comparado a Nx, apresentou nÃveis reduzidos de creatinina (Nx+E= 0.97  0.08; Nx=1.28  0.07 mg/dL), de proteinÃria (Nx+E=31.94  6.46 Nx= 129.10  13.87 mg/24hrs) e da FENa+ (Nx+E= 2.02  0.28; Nx=3.55  0.56), alÃm elevar a TFG (Nx+E=0.70  0.08; Nx=0.44  0.10 mL/min). Nx apresentou aumento da expressÃo gÃnica intra-renal de Gn (Nx=13.92  5.13; SHAM=1.08  0.20), UGn (Nx=12.77  7.00; SHAM=1.04  0.13), GC-A (Nx=5.91  1.36; SHAM=1.06  0.17) e NPR-C (Nx=7.835  1.72; SHAM=1.15  0.27), e Nx+E teve genes reduzidos para UGn (Nx+E=0.10  0.03; Nx=1.75  0.96), GC-A (Nx+E=0.031  0.01; Nx=1.18  0.27) e NPR-C (Nx+E=0.03  0.01; Nx=1.08  0.24) quando comparados a Nx. No intestino, houve uma reduÃÃo da transcriÃÃo de GC-C (Nx=0,22Â0,04; SHAM=1.12  0.22) em Nx, e o enalapril aumentou os nÃveis de expressÃo deste gene (Nx+E=3.94  0.57; Nx=1.15  0.22). Em conjunto, estes dados sugerem uma hiperativaÃÃo na via das guanilinas na DRC, alÃm de modulaÃÃo dessa classe de peptÃdeos por parte da AngII.

▼ A gestação é um período em que a fêmea é transitoriamente submetida a uma série de alterações em todo o organismo, resultando num quadro semelhante à síndrome metabólica, mas que são cuidadosamente reguladas de modo a fornecer o suprimento adequado de substratos para a mãe e para o feto. A gravidez caracteriza-se como modelo fisiológico e temporalmente definido de resistência à insulina. Já durante a lactação, observa-se hipersensibilidade sistêmica à ação da insulina. A ativação de vias de sinalização da insulina no cérebro, em particular no núcleo arqueado do hipotálamo (ARC), tem importante papel na regulação da homeostasia glicêmica. Já está bem estabelecido que a Ang-II é capaz de induzir a fosforilação em serina do IR, do IRS e da subunidade regulatória p85 da PI3K. No entanto, ainda não foi esclarecido se ocorrem alterações na via de sinalização da insulina em áreas do sistema nervoso central (SNC) responsáveis pelo controle da homeostasia glicêmica, como é o caso do ARC, do núcleo hipotalâmico ventromedial (VMH) e do núcleo paraventricular (PVN) durante a gestação, que poderia contribuir para o quadro de resistência à insulina nesta situação. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a expressão das proteínas de sinalização intracelular da insulina IRS1-2, PI3K (p85α, p55α, p50α), AKT, p-Ser473 AKT e dos receptores IR, e AT1a no hipotálamo total e no ARC, VMH e PVN na gravidez e na lactação. Investigou-se também o possível cross-talk da via de sinalização da insulina e da Angiotensina-II (Ang-II) no hipotálamo. Observou-se a redução da expressão do IRS-2, da AKT e da p-Ser473 AKT, concomitante com o aumento da expressão das subunidades regulatórias p85α, p55α, p50α da PI3K e do receptor AT1a no hipotálamo na gravidez. No ARC, VMH e PVN observou-se co-localização da p85α e do receptor AT1a, bem como aumento da expressão de ambos nessas regiões, nas ratas grávidas. O tratamento crônico com antagonista AT1 (losartan) produziu, nas grávidas redução significativa da expressão deste receptor, sem causar alteração na expressão da p85α. A disfunção das vias da Ang-II e da insulina em graus variados pode levar a duas condições patológicas de alta prevalência e que muitas vezes são concomitantes: diabetes mellitus e hipertensão arterial. A melhor compreensão das alterações hipotalâmicas nas vias de sinalização da insulina e da Ang-II, bem como a caracterização molecular dessa interação, tanto nas situações fisiológicas (por exemplo na gravidez) como nas situações patológicas, poderá revelar alvos para futuras intervenções terapêuticas para diversas condições clínicas como a obesidade, o diabetes, a hipertensão arterial, a pré-eclâmpsia/eclâmpsia, etc...

▼ O controle neural da pressão arterial é essencial para a manutenção da homeostase do organismo. Este controle é realizado principalmente por núcleos bulbares e hipotalâmicos. Um dos principais sistemas de neurotransmissão envolvidos no controle da pressão arterial é o catecolaminérgico. Células noradrenérgicas e adrenérgicas estão presentes em todos os centros bulbares reguladores da pressão arterial, enquanto seus receptores, principalmente o receptor α2 adrenérgico (α2r), estão presentes nas mesmas regiões além de estarem presentes também nos núcleos hipotalâmicos. Estes receptores, quando ativados nestes núcleos, geram respostas cardiovasculares e atuam em conjunto com outros sistemas de neurotransmissão neste controle. Dentre estes sistemas de neurotransmissão, merecem destaque os sistemas angiotensinérgico e glutamatérgico, não apenas por estarem presentes nestes núcleos, mas também por atuarem no controle da pressão arterial. Contudo, pouco se sabe sobre como o sistema catecolaminérgico interage com estes sistemas. Desta forma, estudamos neste projeto a influência do sistema glutamatérgico e angiotensinérgico sobre o sistema catecolaminérgico no bulbo de ratos. Através de culturas de células bulbares, demonstramos que a ativação de receptores glutamatérgicos do tipo NMDA é capaz de elevar os níveis proteicos do α2R e que os receptores ionotrópicos do tipo não-NMDA precisam estar desbloqueados para tal. Em ratos adultos, microinjeções repetidas inibem a resposta bradicárdica induzida pela ativação dos α2rR no NTS. Contudo, o knockdown dos receptores AT1 de angiotensina restaura a resposta bradicárdica. A partir destes resultados, foi demonstrado que o sistema glutamatérgico é capaz de modular o sistema catecolaminérgico, enquanto o knockdown do receptor AT1 de angiotensina no NTS acentua a resposta bradicárdica dos α2R do NTS. Estes resultados sugerem que os sistemas de neurotransmissão bulbares interagem de diferentes formas e a compreensão deste controle pode vir a ser de grande valia para a compreensão de como se dá o controle da pressão arterial pelo sistema nervoso
The neural control of blood pressure is essential for the maintenance of the homeostasis of the organism. This control is performed mainly by nuclei in the medulla oblongata and in the hypothalamus. One of the main neurotransmitter system involved in this control is the catecholaminergic. Noradrenergic and adrenergic cells are present in all medullary nuclei involved in the arterial pressure regulation, while its receptors, especially the α2 adrenoceptor, are present in the same region plus hypothalamic nuclei. These receptors, upon activation in these nuclei, generate cardiovascular response, and act with other neurotransmission systems in this control. Among these systems, the glutamatergic and angiotensinergic deserve attention not only for also being present in the same nuclei, but for also acting in the control of the arterial pressure. Both angiotensinergic and glutamatergic systems interact with the…
