Evidence for a Physiological Mitochondrial Angiotensin II System in the Kidney Proximal Tubules: Novel Roles of Mitochondrial Ang II/AT1a/O2- and Ang II/AT2/NO Signaling.

ABSTRACT: The present study tested the hypotheses that overexpression of an intracellular Ang II (angiotensin II) fusion protein, mito-ECFP/Ang II, selectively in the mitochondria of mouse proximal tubule cells induces mitochondrial oxidative and glycolytic responses and elevates blood pressure via the Ang II/AT1a receptor/superoxide/NHE3 (the Na+/H+ exchanger 3)-dependent mechanisms. A PT-selective, mitochondria-targeting adenoviral construct encoding Ad-sglt2-mito-ECFP/Ang II was used to test the hypotheses. The expression of mito-ECFP/Ang II was colocalized primarily with Mito-Tracker Red FM in mouse PT cells or with TMRM in kidney PTs. Mito-ECFP/Ang II markedly increased oxygen consumption rate as an index of mitochondrial oxidative response (69.5%; P<0.01) and extracellular acidification rate as an index of mitochondrial glycolytic response (34%; P<0.01). The mito-ECFP/Ang II-induced oxygen consumption rate and extracellular acidification rate responses were blocked by AT1 blocker losartan (P<0.01) and a mitochondria-targeting superoxide scavenger mito-TEMPO (P<0.01). By contrast, the nonselective NO inhibitor L-NAME alone increased, whereas the mitochondria-targeting expression of AT2 receptors (mito-AT2/GFP) attenuated the effects of mito-ECFP/Ang II (P<0.01). In the kidney, overexpression of mito-ECFP/Ang II in the mitochondria of the PTs increased systolic blood pressure 12±3 mm Hg (P<0.01), and the response was attenuated in PT-specific PT-Agtr1a-/- and PT-Nhe3-/- mice (P<0.01). Conversely, overexpression of AT2 receptors selectively in the mitochondria of the PTs induced natriuretic responses in PT-Agtr1a-/- and PT-Nhe3-/- mice (P<0.01). Taken together, these results provide new evidence for a physiological role of PT mitochondrial Ang II/AT1a/superoxide/NHE3 and Ang II/AT2/NO/NHE3 signaling pathways in maintaining blood pressure homeostasis.
