58 Recent studies suggest a crucial role of reactive oxygen species (ROS) for the signaling of Angiotensin II (Ang II) through type 1 Ang II receptor (AT1-R). However, the role of ROS in the regulation of AT1-R expression has not been explored. In this study, we examined the effect of an antioxidant on the homologous downregulation of AT1-R by Ang II. Ang II (10 -6 mol/L) decreased AT1-R mRNA with a peak suppression at 6 hours of stimulation in rat aortic vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC). Ang II dose-dependently (10 -8 -10 -6 ) suppressed AT1-R mRNA at 6 hours of stimulation. Preincubation of VSMC with N-acetylcysteine (NAC), a potent antioxidant, almost completely inhibited the Ang II-induced downregulation of AT1-R mRNA. The effect of NAC was due to stabilization of the AT1-R mRNA that was destabilized by Ang II. Ang II did not affect the promoter activity of AT1-R gene. Diphenylene iodonium (DPI), an inhibitor of NADH/NADPH oxidase failed to inhibit the Ang II-induced AT1-R mRNA downregulation. The Ang II-induced AT1-R mRNA downregulation was also blocked by PD98059, an extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase (ERK) kinase inhibitor. Ang II-induced ERK activation was inhibited by NAC as well as PD98059 whereas DPI did not inhibit it. To confirm the role of ROS in the regulation of AT1-R mRNA expression, VSMC were stimulated with H 2 O 2 . H 2 O 2 suppressed the AT1-R mRNA expression and activated ERK. These results suggest that production of ROS and activation of ERK are critical for downregulation of AT1-R mRNA. The differential effect of NAC and DPI on the downregulation of AT1-R mRNA may suggest the presence of other sources than NADH/NADPH oxidase pathway for ROS in Ang II signaling. Generation of ROS through stimulation of AT1-R not only mediates signaling of Ang II but may play a crucial role in the adaptation process of AT1-R to the sustained stimulation of Ang II.

The binding of prorenin to the (pro)renin receptor (PRR) induces non-proteolytic activation of prorenin and generation of angiotensin II (Ang II). PRR activation can also induce Ang II-independent signaling pathways. However, whether Ang II-independent signaling pathways are critical for blood pressure (BP) regulation is not known. To address this question, we created transgenic mice that overexpress the human PRR (hPRR) selectively in neurons (Syn-hPRR). Activated human prorenin (hPRO) cannot cleave endogenous mouse angiotensinogen to generate Ang II. Therefore, administration of hPRO to Syn-hPRR mice can be used to examine Ang II-independent PRR signaling in BP regulation. Intracerebroventricular (ICV) infusion of hPRO increases BP in Syn-hPRR mice (ΔMAP 23 ± 4.6, n = 4) but has no effect on wildtype (WT) mice (ΔMAP 2 ± 0.8, n = 6). The hPRO-induced pressor response in Syn-hPRR mice is unaffected by co-infusion with the Ang II type 1 receptor blocker losartan (ΔMAP 19 ± 5.2, n = 8), suggesting that the response is independent of Ang II. Interestingly, co-infusion with an inhibitor of the reactive oxygen species-generating enzyme NADPH oxidase (NOX), diphenyleneiodonium, nearly abolishes the hPRO-induced pressor response in Syn-hPRR mice (ΔMAP 4.7 ± 1.0, n = 4), indicating that NOX activity is required. Additionally, we find that basal NOX activity is enhanced in the Syn-hPRR hypothalamus relative to WT mice (1.4 fold change). We next examined which NOX isoform is responsible for the hPRO-induced pressor response and enhanced activity. NOX4 mRNA levels are greater (2.7 ± 0.6 fold change), but NOX1 (1.2 ± 0.3 fold change) and NOX2 (1.2 ± 0.3 fold change) mRNA levels are not different, in the hypothalamus of Syn-hPRR compared to WT mice (n = 3). Adenovirus-mediated delivery of NOX2, NOX4, or a scrambled sequence shRNA was ICV injected in Syn-hPRR mice. After 7 days, we found that treatment with NOX2 (ΔMAP 20 ± 5.2) or scrambled (ΔMAP 23 ± 3.2) shRNA had no effect on the hPRO-induced pressor response (n = 5). However, the hPRO-induced increase in BP is attenuated in Syn-hPRR mice injected with NOX4 shRNA (ΔMAP 5.9 ± 2.8). Together, these data indicate that NOX4 mediates the Ang II-independent pressor response to activation of the human (pro)renin receptor in Syn-hPRR mice.

Angiotensin II contributes to ventricular remodeling by promoting both cardiac hypertrophy and apoptosis; however, the mechanism underlying the latter phenomenon is poorly understood. One possibility that has been advanced is that angiotensin II activates NADPH oxidase, generating free radicals that trigger apoptosis. In apparent support of this notion, it was found that angiotensin II-mediated apoptosis in the cardiomyocyte is blocked by the NADPH oxidase inhibitor diphenylene iodonium. However, three lines of evidence suggest that peroxynitrite, rather than superoxide, is responsible for angiotensin II-mediated DNA damage and apoptosis. First, the inducible nitric oxide inhibitor aminoguanidine prevents angiotensin II-induced DNA damage and apoptosis. Second, based on ligation-mediated PCR, the pattern of angiotensin II-induced DNA damage resembles peroxynitritemediated damage rather than damage caused by either superoxide or nitric oxide. Third, angiotensin II activates p53 through the phosphorylation of Ser15 and Ser20, residues that are commonly phosphorylated in response to DNA damage. It is proposed that angiotensin II promotes the oxidation of DNA, which in turn activates p53 to mediate apoptosis.

We tested the hypothesis that superoxide anion (O2−·) generated in the kidney by prolonged angiotensin II (ANG II) reduces renal cortical Po2 and the use of O2 for tubular sodium transport (TNa:QO2). Groups ( n = 8–11) of rats received angiotensin II (ANG II, 200 ng·kg−1·min−1 sc) or vehicle for 2 wk with concurrent infusions of a permeant nitroxide SOD mimetic 4-hydroxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine 1-oxyl (Tempol, 200 nmol·kg−1·min−1) or vehicle. Rats were studied under anesthesia with measurements of renal oxygen usage and Po2 in the cortex and tubules with a glass electrode. Compared with vehicle, ANG II increased mean arterial pressure (107 ± 4 vs. 146 ± 6 mmHg; P < 0.001), renal vascular resistance (42 ± 3 vs. 65 ± 7 mmHg·ml−1·min−1·100 g−1; P < 0.001), renal cortical NADPH oxidase activity (2.3 ± 0.2 vs. 3.6 ± 0.4 nmol O2−··min−1·mg−1 protein; P < 0.05), mRNA and protein expression for p22 phox (2.1- and 1.8-fold respectively; P < 0.05) and reduced the mRNA for extracellular (EC)-SOD (−1.8 fold; P < 0.05). ANG II reduced the Po2 in the proximal tubule (39 ± 1 vs. 34 ± 2 mmHg; P < 0.05) and throughout the cortex and reduced the TNa:QO2 (17 ± 1 vs. 9 ± 2 μmol/μmol; P < 0.001). Tempol blunted or prevented all these effects of ANG II. The effects of prolonged ANG II to cause hypertension, renal vasoconstriction, renal cortical hypoxia, and reduced efficiency of O2 usage for Na+ transport, activation of NADPH oxidase, increased expression of p22 phox, and reduced expression of EC-SOD can be ascribed to O2−· generation because they are prevented by an SOD mimetic.
