Angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) is a critical component of the compensatory axis of the renin angiotensin system. Alterations in ACE2 gene and protein expression, and activity mediated by A Disintegrin And Metalloprotease 17 (ADAM17), a member of the “A Disintegrin And Metalloprotease” (ADAM) family are implicated in several cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases. We previously reported that activation of kinin B1 receptor (B1R) in the brain increases neuroinflammation, oxidative stress and sympathoexcitation, leading to the development of neurogenic hypertension. We also showed evidence for ADAM17-mediated ACE2 shedding in neurons. However, whether kinin B1 receptor (B1R) activation has any role in altering ADAM17 activity and its effect on ACE2 shedding in neurons is not known. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that activation of B1R upregulates ADAM17 and results in ACE2 shedding in neurons. To test this hypothesis, we stimulated wild-type and B1R gene-deleted mouse neonatal primary hypothalamic neuronal cultures with a B1R-specific agonist and measured the activities of ADAM17 and ACE2 in neurons. B1R stimulation significantly increased ADAM17 activity and decreased ACE2 activity in wild-type neurons, while pretreatment with a B1R-specific antagonist, R715, reversed these changes. Stimulation with specific B1R agonist Lys-Des-Arg9-Bradykinin (LDABK) did not show any effect on ADAM17 or ACE2 activities in neurons with B1R gene deletion. These data suggest that B1R activation results in ADAM17-mediated ACE2 shedding in primary hypothalamic neurons. In addition, stimulation with high concentration of glutamate significantly increased B1R gene and protein expression, along with increased ADAM17 and decreased ACE2 activities in wild-type neurons. Pretreatment with B1R-specific antagonist R715 reversed these glutamate-induced effects suggesting that indeed B1R is involved in glutamate-mediated upregulation of ADAM17 activity and ACE2 shedding.

The Brain

Hyperactivity of the orexin system contributes to several animal models of hypertension and enhances arginine vasopressin (AVP) release. We previously reported higher neuronal kinin B1 receptor (B1R) expression and brain AVP levels in hypertensive mice. However, the role of B1R and its interaction with orexin system in neurogenic hypertension have not been studied. In the present study, we tested the hypothesis that kinin B1R contributes to hypertension by upregulation of orexin-AVP signaling in the brain. Deoxycorticosterone acetate (DOCA)-salt treatment (1 mg/g body weight DOCA, 1% saline in drinking water, 3 weeks) of wild-type (WT) male mice produced a significant increase in mean arterial pressure (MAP; radio-telemetry) (138 ±3 mmHg, n=8, p<0.01) that was blunted in B1R knockout mice (121±2 mmHg, P <0.05 vs. WT+DOCA). In WT mice, DOCA-salt, compared to vehicle, increased mRNA levels of orexin receptor 1 (2.5 fold, n=9, p<0.001), orexin receptor 2 (3 fold, n=9, p<0.001) and AVP (3 fold, n=9, p<0.01) in the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN), and these DOCA-salt evoked effects were attenuated in B1RKO mice. Similarly, DOCA-salt evoked increases in protein expression of orexin receptor 1 and 2 in the hypothalamic PVN of WT mice were attenuated by 25±5% and 33±5% (p<0.05), respectively, in B1RKO vs WT+DOCA mice. Furthermore, DOCA-salt treatment increased plasma AVP levels in WT mice compared to vehicle treated mice (13.69±1.1 vs. 47.86±8.7 pg/ml, p<0.05), but not in B1RKO mice. Together, these data provide novel evidence that kinin B1R plays an important role in mediating DOCA-salt induced hypertension possibly via upregulating the orexin-AVP signaling in the brain.
