Sestrin2 decreases renal oxidative stress, lowers blood pressure, and mediates dopamine D2 receptor-induced inhibition of reactive oxygen species production.

ABSTRACT: The dopamine D2 receptor (D2R) decreases renal reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and regulates blood pressure, in part, via positive regulation of paraoxonase 2. Sestrin2, a highly conserved antioxidant protein, regulates intracellular ROS level by regenerating hyperoxidized peroxiredoxins. We hypothesized that sestrin2 may be involved in preventing excessive renal ROS production and thus contribute to the maintenance of normal blood pressure. Moreover, the D2R may decrease ROS production, in part, through the regulation of sestrin2. Renal sestrin2 expression was lower (-62±13%) in D2R(-/-) than in D2R(+/+) mice. Silencing D2R in human renal proximal tubule cells decreased sestrin2 expression (-53±3%) and increased hyperoxidized peroxiredoxins (2.9-fold). Stimulation of D2R in renal proximal tubule cells increased sestrin2 expression (1.6-fold), decreased hyperoxidized peroxiredoxins (-61±3%), and reduced ROS production (-31±4%). Silencing sestrin2 in renal proximal tubule cells increased hyperoxidized peroxiredoxins (2.1-fold) and ROS production (1.3-fold). Silencing sestrin2 also abolished D2R-induced decrease in peroxiredoxin hyperoxidation and partially prevented the inhibitory effect of D2R stimulation on ROS production. Silencing paraoxonase 2 increased sestrin2 ubiquitinylation (2.8-fold), decreased sestrin2 expression (-30±3%), and increased ROS production (1.3-fold), peroxiredoxin hyperoxidation (2.9-fold), and lipid peroxidation (2.3-fold), and blocked the increase in sestrin2 that occurs with D2R stimulation. In vivo renal selective silencing of sestrin2 by the renal subcapsular infusion of sestrin2 small interfering RNA (3 ?g/day; 7 days) in mice increased renal oxidative stress (1.3-fold) and blood pressure. These results suggest that the D2R, via paraoxonase 2 and sestrin2, keeps normal renal redox balance, which contributes to the maintenance of normal blood pressure.

Project description:The dopamine D(2) receptor (D(2)R) regulates renal reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, and impaired D(2)R function results in ROS-dependent hypertension. Paraoxonase 2 (PON2), which belongs to the paraoxonase gene family, is expressed in various tissues, acting to protect against cellular oxidative stress. We hypothesized that PON2 may be involved in preventing excessive renal ROS production and thus may contribute to maintenance of normal blood pressure. Moreover, D(2)R may decrease ROS production, in part, through regulation of PON2. D(2)R colocalized with PON2 in the brush border of mouse renal proximal tubules. Renal PON2 protein was decreased (-33±6%) in D(2)(-/-) relative to D(2)(+/+) mice. Renal subcapsular infusion of PON2 siRNA decreased PON2 protein expression (-55%), increased renal oxidative stress (2.2-fold), associated with increased renal NADPH oxidase expression (Nox1, 1.9-fold; Nox2, 2.9-fold; and Nox4, 1.6-fold) and activity (1.9-fold), and elevated arterial blood pressure (systolic, 134±5 vs 93±6mmHg; diastolic, 97±4 vs 65±7mmHg; mean 113±4 vs 75±7mmHg). To determine the relevance of the PON2 and D(2)R interaction in humans, we studied human renal proximal tubule cells. Both D(2)R and PON2 were found in nonlipid and lipid rafts and physically interacted with each other. Treatment of these cells with the D(2)R/D(3)R agonist quinpirole (1?M, 24h) decreased ROS production (-35±6%), associated with decreased NADPH oxidase activity (-32±3%) and expression of Nox2 (-41±7%) and Nox4 (-47±8%) protein, and increased expression of PON2 mRNA (2.1-fold) and protein (1.6-fold) at 24h. Silencing PON2 (siRNA, 10nM, 48h) not only partially prevented the quinpirole-induced decrease in ROS production by 36%, but also increased basal ROS production (1.3-fold), which was associated with an increase in NADPH oxidase activity (1.4-fold) and expression of Nox2 (2.1-fold) and Nox4 (1.8-fold) protein. Inhibition of NADPH oxidase with diphenylene iodonium (10?M/30 min) inhibited the increase in ROS production caused by PON2 silencing. Our results suggest that renal PON2 is involved in the inhibition of renal NADPH oxidase activity and ROS production and contributes to the maintenance of normal blood pressure. PON2 is positively regulated by D(2)R and may, in part, mediate the inhibitory effect of renal D(2)R on NADPH oxidase activity and ROS production.
