Brain endoplasmic reticulum stress mechanistically distinguishes the saline-intake and hypertensive response to deoxycorticosterone acetate-salt.

ABSTRACT: Endoplasmic reticulum stress has become an important mechanism in hypertension. We examined the role of endoplasmic reticulum stress in mediating the increased saline-intake and hypertensive effects in response to deoxycorticosterone acetate (DOCA)-salt. Intracerebroventricular delivery of the endoplasmic reticulum stress-reducing chemical chaperone tauroursodeoxycholic acid did not affect the magnitude of hypertension, but markedly decreased saline-intake in response to DOCA-salt. Increased saline-intake returned after tauroursodeoxycholic acid was terminated. Decreased saline-intake was also observed after intracerebroventricular infusion of 4-phenylbutyrate, another chemical chaperone. Immunoreactivity to CCAAT homologous binding protein, a marker of irremediable endoplasmic reticulum stress, was increased in the subfornical organ and supraoptic nucleus of DOCA-salt mice, but the signal was absent in control and CCAAT homologous binding protein-deficient mice. Electron microscopy revealed abnormalities in endoplasmic reticulum structure (decrease in membrane length, swollen membranes, and decreased ribosome numbers) in the subfornical organ consistent with endoplasmic reticulum stress. Subfornical organ-targeted adenoviral delivery of GRP78, a resident endoplasmic reticulum chaperone, decreased DOCA-salt-induced saline-intake. The increase in saline-intake in response to DOCA-salt was blunted in CCAAT homologous binding protein-deficient mice, but these mice exhibited a normal hypertensive response. We conclude that (1) brain endoplasmic reticulum stress mediates the saline-intake, but not blood pressure response to DOCA-salt, (2) DOCA-salt causes endoplasmic reticulum stress in the subfornical organ, which when attenuated by GRP78 blunts saline-intake, and (3) CCAAT homologous binding protein may play a functional role in DOCA-salt-induced saline-intake. The results suggest a mechanistic distinction between the importance of endoplasmic reticulum stress in mediating effects of DOCA-salt on saline-intake and blood pressure.

Project description:New findingsWhat is the central question of this study? Are renal functional responses to intrarenal angiotensin 1-7 (Ang (1-7)) infusion dependent on the level of the endogenous renin-angiotensin system (RAS) in the two-kidney one-clip (2K1C) and deoxycorticosterone acetate (DOCA)-salt animal models of hypertension? What is the main finding and its importance? The renal actions of Ang (1-7) are dependent on the relative endogenous levels of each arm of the classical angiotensin II-angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT1 R) axis and those of the Ang (1-7)-Mas receptor axis. These findings support the hypothesis that a balance exists between the intrarenal classical and novel arms of the RAS, and in particular the relative abundance of AT1 R to Mas receptor, which may to a large extent determine the renal excretory response to Ang (1-7) infusion.AbstractThis study investigated the action of angiotensin 1-7 (Ang (1-7)) on renal haemodynamic and excretory function in the two-kidney one-clip (2K1C) and deoxycorticosterone acetate (DOCA)-salt rat models of hypertension, in which the endogenous renin-angiotensin system (RAS) activity was likely to be raised or lowered, respectively. Rats were anaesthetised and prepared for the measurement of mean arterial pressure and kidney function during renal interstitial infusion of Ang (1-7) or saline. Kidney tissue concentrations of angiotensin II (Ang II) and Ang (1-7) were determined. Intrarenal infusion of Ang (1-7) into the clipped kidney of 2K1C rats increased urine flow (UV), absolute (UNa V) and fractional sodium (FENa ) excretions by 110%, 214% and 147%, respectively. Renal Ang II concentrations of the clipped kidney were increased with no major changes in Ang (1-7) concentration. By contrast, Ang (1-7) infusion decreased UV, UNa V, and FENa by 27%, 24% and 21%, respectively in the non-clipped kidney in which tissue Ang (1-7) concentrations were increased, but renal Ang II concentrations were unchanged compared to sham animals. Ang (1-7) infusion in DOCA-salt rats had minimal effects on glomerular filtration rate but significantly decreased UV, UNa V and FENa by ∼30%. Renal Ang (1-7) concentrations were higher and Ang II concentrations were lower in DOCA-salt rats compared to sham rats. These findings demonstrate that the intrarenal infusion of exogenous Ang (1-7) elicits different renal excretory responses the magnitude of which is dependent on the balance between the endogenous renal Ang II-AT1 receptor axis and Ang (1-7)-Mas receptor axis.
