Transcriptomic response in the heart and kidney to different types of antihypertensive drug administration [kidney]

ABSTRACT: To unravel antihypertensive drug-induced gene expression changes that are potentially related to the amelioration of end-organ damages, we performed in vivo phenotypic evaluation and transcriptomic analysis on the heart and the kidney, with administration of antihypertensive drugs to two inbred strains of (i.e., hypertensive and normotensive) rats. We chose to use six antihypertensive classes: enalapril (angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor), candesartan (angiotensin receptor blocker), hydrochlorothiazide (diuretics), amlodipine (calcium-channel blocker), carvedilol (vasodilating beta-blocker) and hydralazine. In the tested rat strains, four of six drugs, including two renin-angiotensin system (RAS) inhibitors, were effective for BP lowering, whereas the remaining two drugs were not. Besides BP lowering, there appeared to be some inter-drug heterogeneity in phenotypic changes, such as suppressed body weight (Bw) gain and Bw-adjusted heart weight reduction. For the transcriptomic response, a considerable number of genes showed prominent mRNA expression changes either in a BP-dependent or BP-independent manner with substantial diversity between the target organs. Noticeable changes of mRNA expression were induced particularly by RAS blockade, e.g., for genes in the natriuretic peptide system (Nppb and Corin) in the heart and for those in the RAS/ kallikrein-kinin system (Ren and rat Klk1 paralogs) and those related to calcium ion binding (Calb1 and Slc8a1) in the kidney. This submission includes the kidney data.

Project description:Objective M-bM-^@M-^S Telmisartan, an angiotensin II type 1 (AT1) receptor blocker, and amlodipine, a calcium channel blocker, are antihypertensive agents clinically used as monotherapy or in combination. They exert beneficial cardiovascular effects independently of blood pressure lowering and classic mechanisms of action. In this study, we investigate molecular mechanisms responsible for the off-target effects of telmisartan and telmisartan-amlodipine in endothelial cells (EC), using an unbiased approach. Approach and Results M-bM-^@M-^S In human umbilical vein endothelial cells, microarray analysis of gene expression followed by pathway enrichment analysis and qRT-PCR validation revealed that telmisartan modulates the expression of key genes responsible for cell cycle progression and apoptosis. AmlodipineM-bM-^@M-^Ys effect was similar to control. EC exposed to telmisartan, but not amlodipine, losartan or valsartan, exhibited a dose-dependent impairment of cell growth and failed to enter the S-phase of the cell cycle. Similarly, telmisartan inhibited proliferation in COS-7 cells lacking the AT1 receptor. In telmisartan-treated EC, phosphorylation and activation of Akt as well as MDM2 was reduced, leading to accumulation of p53 in the nucleus, where it represses the transcription of cell cycle promoting genes. Phosphorylation of GSK3M-NM-2 was also reduced, resulting in rapid proteolytic turnover of CyclinD1. Telmisartan induced downregulation of proapoptotic genes and protected EC from serum starvation- and 7-ketocholesterol-induced apoptosis. Conclusions M-bM-^@M-^S Telmisartan exerts antiproliferative and antiapoptotic effects in EC. This may account for the improved endothelial dysfunction observed in the clinical setting. HUVEC were treated with 100 M-BM-5mol/L telmisartan or 5 M-BM-5mol/L amlodipine or both in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) or an equivalent volume of DMSO alone, as control, for 24 hours. Microarray analysis was carried out on two biological replicates per group (total of six samples). See PROTOCOL section for experimental details.

Project description:Dyslipidemia is a significant risk factor for progression of diabetic kidney disease (DKD). To identify individual lipids and lipid networks that may be involved in DKD progression, we performed untargeted lipidomic analysis of kidney cortex tissue from diabetic db/db and db/db eNOS-/- mice along with nondiabetic littermate controls. A subset of mice were treated with the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) inhibitors, lisinopril and losartan, which improves the DKD phenotype in the db/db eNOS-/- mouse model. Of the three independent variables in this study, diabetes had the largest impact on overall lipid levels in the kidney cortex, while eNOS expression and RAS inhibition had smaller impacts on kidney lipid levels. Kidney lipid network architecture, particularly of networks involving glycerolipids such as triacylglycerols, was substantially disrupted by worsening kidney disease in the db/db eNOS-/- mice compared to the db/db mice, a feature that was reversed with RAS inhibition. This was associated with decreased expression of the stearoyl-CoA desaturases, Scd1 and Scd2, with RAS inhibition. In addition to the known salutary effect of RAS inhibition on DKD progression, our results suggest a previously unrecognized role for RAS inhibition on the kidney triacylglycerol lipid metabolic network.
