Role of SCTR/AT1aR heteromer in mediating ANGII-induced aldosterone secretion.

ABSTRACT: The involvement of secretin (SCT) and its receptor (SCTR) in angiotensin II (ANGII)-mediated osmoregulation by forming SCTR/ angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT1R) heteromer is well established. In this study, we demonstrated that SCTR/AT1R complex can mediate ANGII-induced aldosterone secretion/release through potentiating calcium mobilization. Through IHC and cAMP studies, we showed the presence of functional SCTR and AT1R in the primary zona glomerulosa (ZG) cells of C57BL/6N (C57), and functional AT1R and non-functional SCTR in SCTR knockout (SCTR-/-) mice. Calcium mobilization studies revealed the important role of SCTR on ANGII-mediated calcium mobilization in adrenal gland. The fluo4-AM loaded primary adrenal ZG cells from the C57 mice displayed a dose-dependent increase in intracellular calcium influx ([Ca2+]i) when exposed to ANGII but not from the SCTR-/- ZG cells. Synthetic SCTR transmembrane (TM) peptides STM-II/-IV were able to alter [Ca2+]i in C57 mice, but not the mice with mutated STM-II/-IV (STM-IIm/IVm) peptides. Through enzyme immunoassay (EIA), we measured the aldosterone release from primary ZG cells of both C57 and SCTR-/- mice by exposing them to ANGII (10nM). SCTR-/- ZG cells showed impaired ANGII-induced aldosterone secretion compared to the C57 mice. TM peptide, STM-II hindered the aldosterone secretion in ZG cells of C57 mice. These findings support the involvement of SCTR/AT1R heterodimer complex in aldosterone secretion/release through [Ca2+]i.

Essential role of ICAM-1 in aldosterone-induced atherosclerosis.

Project description:ObjectiveElevated aldosterone is associated with increased risk of atherosclerosis complications, whereas treatment with mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) antagonists decreases the rate of cardiovascular events. Here we test the hypothesis that aldosterone promotes early atherosclerosis by modulating intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) expression and investigate the molecular mechanisms by which aldosterone regulates ICAM-1 expression.Methods and resultsApolipoprotein-E (ApoE)-/- mice fed an atherogenic diet and treated with aldosterone for 4weeks showed increased vascular expression of ICAM-1, paralleled by enhanced atherosclerotic plaque size in the aortic root. Moreover, aldosterone treatment resulted in increased plaque lipid and inflammatory cell content, consistent with an unstable plaque phenotype. ApoE/ICAM-1 double knockout (ApoE-/-/ICAM-1-/-) littermates were protected from the aldosterone-induced increase in plaque size, lipid content and macrophage infiltration. Since aldosterone is known to regulate ICAM-1 transcription via MR in human endothelial cells, we explored MR regulation of the ICAM-1 promoter. Luciferase reporter assays performed in HUVECs using deletion constructs of the human ICAM-1 gene promoter showed that a region containing a predicted MR-responsive element (MRE) is required for MR-dependent transcriptional regulation of ICAM-1.ConclusionsPro-atherogenic effects of aldosterone are mediated by increased ICAM-1 expression, through transcriptional regulation by endothelial MR. These data enhance our understanding of the molecular mechanism by which MR activation promotes atherosclerosis complications.

Regulation of aldosterone secretion by Cav1.3.

Project description:Aldosterone-producing adenomas (APAs) vary in phenotype and genotype. Zona glomerulosa (ZG)-like APAs frequently have mutations of an L-type calcium channel (LTCC) CaV1.3. Using a novel antagonist of CaV1.3, compound 8, we investigated the role of CaV1.3 on steroidogenesis in the human adrenocortical cell line, H295R, and in primary human adrenal cells. This investigational drug was compared with the common antihypertensive drug nifedipine, which has 4.5-fold selectivity for the vascular LTCC, CaV1.2, over CaV1.3. In H295R cells transfected with wild-type or mutant CaV1.3 channels, the latter produced more aldosterone than wild-type, which was ameliorated by 100 μM of compound 8. In primary adrenal and non-transfected H295R cells, compound 8 decreased aldosterone production similar to high concentration of nifedipine (100 μM). Selective CaV1.3 blockade may offer a novel way of treating primary hyperaldosteronism, which avoids the vascular side effects of CaV1.2-blockade, and provides targeted treatment for ZG-like APAs with mutations of CaV1.3.

Does the early aldosterone-induced SGK1 play a role in early Kaliuresis?

Project description:Urinary K+ potassium excretion rapidly increases after a potassium-rich meal. The early aldosterone-induced sgk1 gene (encoding serum and glucocorticoid-induced kinase 1), activates potassium clearance, but the role of this kinase in the early activation of K+ secretion has not been clearly defined. Here, we challenged inducible renal-tubule-specific Sgk1Pax8 / LC1 knockout mice with an acute high-potassium load (HK:5%K+ ) and compared the physiological and molecular responses to control mice. We observe that urinary excretion after a K+ load over the first 3 h is not dependent on SGK1 but is coincident with the rapid dephosphorylation of the Na+ ,Cl- -cotransporter (NCC) to increase distal salt delivery. Molecular analyses indicate that whereas SGK1-mediated phosphorylation of the ubiquitin-protein ligase NEDD4-2 begins to increase by 3h, SGK1-dependent proteolytic activation of ENaC only becomes detectable after 6 h of HK intake. Consistent with SGK1-dependent ENaC activation via inhibition of NEDD4-2-mediated ubiquitylation, Sgk1Pax8 / LC1 mice are unable to efficiently inhibit NEDD4-2 or increase ENaC cleavage after 6 h of HK. Nevertheless, no defect in acute K+ balance was detected in the mutant mice after 6 h of HK. Moreover, we found that Sgk1Pax8 / LC1 mice reduce NCC phosphorylation and NCC-mediated salt absorption to a greater extent than control mice after a K+ load, promoting increased amiloride-sensitive Na+ -reabsorption via ENaC to maintain adequate kaliuresis. Together, these data indicate that: (a) during the early 3 h of HK intake, K+ excretion is SGK1-independent even under an extreme K+ challenge, (b) shortly after, SGK1 inhibits NEDD4-2 and activates ENaC to stimulate K+ -secretion, (c) SGK1-dependent phosphorylation of NCC occurs, acting more likely as a brake pedal to prevent excessive K+ loss.

Intracellular calcium and adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate as mediators of potassium-induced aldosterone secretion.

Project description:We compared the action of K+ on aldosterone secretion from isolated bovine adrenal glomerulosa cells with that of ionophore A23187. Addition of either 50 nM-A23187 or 8 mM-K+ to perifused cells induces a similar initial aldosterone-secretory responses, and a similar sustained increases in Ca2+ entry. However, K+-induced secretion is more sustained than is A23187-induced secretion, even though each agonist appears to act by increasing Ca2+ entry into the cells. When [3H]inositol-labelled cells are stimulated by 8 mM-K+, a small decrease in phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate [PtdIns(4,5)P2] is observed. This decrease is not accompanied by an increase in inositol trisphosphate (InsP3) concentration. Also, if [3H]arachidonic acid-labelled cells are exposed to 8 mM-K+, there is no increase in [3H]diacylglycerol production. When [3H]inositol-labelled cells are stimulated by 50 nM-A23187, a small decrease in PtdIns(4,5)P2 is observed. This decrease is not accompanied by an increase in InsP3. The cyclic AMP content of K+-treated cells was approximately twice that in A23187-treated cells. If cells are perifused simultaneously with 50 nM-forskolin and 50 nM-A23187, the initial aldosterone-secretory response is similar to that induced by A23187 alone, and the response is sustained rather than transient, and is similar to that seen during perifusion of cells with 8 mM-K+. This dose of forskolin (50 nM) causes an elevation of cyclic AMP concentration in A23187-treated cells, to a value similar to that in K+-treated cells. These results indicate that, in K+-treated cells, a rise in cyclic AMP content serves as a positive sensitivity modulator of the Ca2+ message, and plays a key role in mediating the sustained aldosterone-secretory response.

The role of cadherin-11 in Unx/AngII induced kidney injury [Huffstater_Unx]

Project description:The objective of this study was to understand the impact of losing cadherin-11 (CDH11) on kidney injury. CDH11 has previously been demonstrated to be associated with a number of fibrotic diseases, but its role in kidney injury remains unknown. In vivo models of kidney injury demonstrated improved renal function and reduced tubulointerstitial fibrosis with CDH11 inhibition. However, the mechanism by which CDH11 inhibition mitigates kidney injury is unknown. RNAseq analysis showed altered expression of over 50 genes in two models of kidney injury when CDH11-/- mice were compared with CDH11+/+ mice. These results together indicate that CDH11 deletion alters many genes and pathways that could contribute to kidney injury, including alpha-1 antitrypsin, which is increased in CDH11-/- mice and has been shown to be beneficial in kidney injury.

Cardiac Fibroblast-Specific Knockout of PGC-1α Accelerates AngII-Induced Cardiac Remodeling.

Project description:Cardiac remodeling consisted of ventricular hypertrophy and interstitial fibrosis is the pathological process of many heart diseases. Fibroblasts as one of the major cells in the myocardium regulate the balance of the generation and degeneration of collagen, and these cells transform toward myofibroblasts in pathological state, contributing to the remodeling of the heart. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ (PPAR-γ) coactivator-1α (PGC-1α) is vital to the function of mitochondria, which contributes to the energy production and reactive oxidative species (ROS)-scavenging activity in the heart. In this study, we found that fibroblast-specific PGC-1α KO induced cardiac remodeling especially fibrosis, and Angiotensin II (AngII) aggravated cardiac fibrosis, accompanied with a high level of oxidative stress response and inflammation.

A novel role for platelet secretion in angiogenesis: mediating bone marrow-derived cell mobilization and homing.

Project description:Angiogenesis alleviates hypoxic stress in ischemic tissues or during tumor progression. In addition to endothelial cell proliferation and migration, the angiogenic process requires bone marrow-derived cell (BMDC) recruitment to sites of neovascularization. However, the mechanism of communication between hypoxic tissues and the BM remains unknown. Using 2 models of hypoxia-induced angiogenesis (ischemic hindlimb surgery and subcutaneous tumor growth), we show that platelet infusion promotes BMDC mobilization into the circulation, BMDC recruitment into growing neovasculature, tumor vascularization, and blood flow restoration in ischemic limbs, whereas platelet depletion inhibits these effects. Thus, platelets are required for BMDC recruitment into ischemia-induced vasculature. Secretion of platelet ?-granules, but neither dense granules nor platelet aggregation is crucial for BMDC homing and subsequent angiogenesis, as determined using VAMP-8(-/-), Pearl, and integrin Beta 3(-/-) platelets. Finally, platelets sequester tumor-derived promoters of angiogenesis and BMDC mobilization, which are counterbalanced by the antiangiogenic factor thrombospondin-1. A lack of thrombospondin-1 in platelets leads to an imbalance in proangiogenic and antiangiogenic factors and accelerates tumor growth and vascularization. Our data demonstrate that platelets stimulate BMDC homing in a VAMP-8-dependent manner, revealing a previously unknown role for platelets as key mediators between hypoxic tissues and the bone marrow during angiogenesis.

The neuropeptide substance P regulates aldosterone secretion in human adrenals.

Project description:Aldosterone, produced by the adrenals and under the control of plasma angiotensin and potassium levels, regulates hydromineral homeostasis and blood pressure. Here we report that the neuropeptide substance P (SP) released by intraadrenal nerve fibres, stimulates aldosterone secretion via binding to neurokinin type 1 receptors (NK1R) expressed by aldosterone-producing adrenocortical cells. The action of SP is mediated by the extracellular signal-regulated kinase pathway and involves upregulation of steroidogenic enzymes. We also conducted a prospective proof-of-concept, double blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial aimed to investigate the impact of the NK1R antagonist aprepitant on aldosterone secretion in healthy male volunteers (EudraCT: 2008-003367-40, ClinicalTrial.gov: NCT00977223). Participants received during two 7-day treatment periods aprepitant (125 mg on the 1st day and 80 mg during the following days) or placebo in a random order at a 2-week interval. The primary endpoint was plasma aldosterone levels during posture test. Secondary endpoints included basal aldosterone alterations, plasma aldosterone variation during metoclopramide and hypoglycaemia tests, and basal and stimulated alterations of renin, cortisol and ACTH during the three different stimulatory tests. The safety of the treatment was assessed on the basis of serum transaminase measurements on days 4 and 7. All pre-specified endpoints were achieved. Aprepitant decreases aldosterone production by around 30% but does not influence the aldosterone response to upright posture. These results indicate that the autonomic nervous system exerts a direct stimulatory tone on mineralocorticoid synthesis through SP, and thus plays a role in the maintenance of hydromineral homeostasis. This regulatory mechanism may be involved in aldosterone excess syndromes.
