Vasoconstrictor effect of aldosterone via angiotensin II type 1 (AT1) receptor: possible role of AT1 receptor dimerization.
AIMS We recently demonstrated that aldosterone induces a non-genomic vasoconstrictor effect on rat coronary arterioles and that this effect was blocked by angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT1) blockers. Intracellular transglutaminase enhances AT1 signalling by cross-linking AT1 homodimers. The purpose of this study was to confirm the AT1-dependency of the vasoconstrictor effect of aldosterone us...
متن کاملCentral angiotensin II controls alcohol consumption via its AT1 receptor.
Pharmacological and genetic manipulations of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) have been found to alter the voluntary consumption of alcohol. Here we characterize the role of central angiotensin II (Ang II) in alcohol intake first by using transgenic rats that express an antisense RNA against angiotensinogen and consequently have reduced Ang II levels exclusively in the central nervous system ...
متن کاملAngiotensin AT1 receptor subtype as a cardiac target of aldosterone: role in aldosterone-salt-induced fibrosis.
This study tests the hypothesis that aldosterone induces cardiac fibrosis through an increase of cardiac angiotensin II (Ang II) AT1 receptor levels, thereby potentiating the fibrotic effect of Ang II by determining the effects of spironolactone and losartan on cardiac fibrosis, AT1 density, and gene expression in aldosterone-salt-treated rats. Fibrosis was quantified by slot blots of collagen ...
متن کاملAngiotensin II-induced nuclear targeting of the angiotensin type 1 (AT1) receptor in brain neurons.
Angiotensin II (Ang II) interaction with the neuronal AT1 receptor results in a chronic stimulation of neuromodulation that involves the expression of norepinephrine transporter (NET) and tyrosine hydroxylase (TH). In view of this unique property and the presence of putative nuclear localization signal (NLS) consensus sequence in the AT1 receptor, this study was conducted to investigate the hyp...
متن کاملAngiotensin II receptor subtypes AT1 and AT2 are down-regulated by angiotensin II through AT1 receptor by different mechanisms.
The regulatory effects of angiotensin II (AngII) on its receptor subtypes, AT1 and AT2, were studied using cultured bovine adrenal cells (BAC), which express both receptor subtypes, and PC12W and R3T3 cells, which express only AT2 receptors. In BAC, AngII caused a decrease in AT1- and AT2-binding sites and their corresponding messenger RNAs (mRNAs), but with different kinetics. AT1-binding site...
