چکیده

background: the vascular function of angiotensin ii-type-2 receptors in adults is controversial. we sought their location and function in mouse aortic rings at young and old mice. materials and methods: male c57bl mice (aged 4 and 14 months) were killed by co2. the descending thoracic aorta was cleaned and dissected into rings. aortic rings were mounted in krebs’ solution at 37 °c and then setup in a multi-myograph. also segments of aorta were incubated with or without antagonists then tmr-angiotensin ii and/or qapb were added. results: at 4 months, angiotensin ii, at low concentrations, caused losartan-sensitive contraction higher concentrations (100nmol/l) caused relaxation sensitive to endothelial denudation, l-name or pd123319. angiotensin ii-type-1 receptors blockade plus l-name revealed pd123319-sensitive contraction. at old mice, aortic relaxation to angiotensin ii was lost. at young mice, losartan and pd123319, together but not separately, abolished binding of fluorescent tmr-angiotensin ii, to endothelium and smooth muscle, indicatin angiotensin ii-type-1 and angiotensin ii-type-2 receptors in both cell types. in contrast, at 14 months endothelial fluorescence was eliminated by losartan. conclusion: aortic endothelium of young adult mice has angiotensin ii-type-2 receptors that release vasodilator nitric oxide. this is lost in old age, explaining age-related loss of vasodilatation by angiotensin ii. aortic smooth muscle has pro-contractile angiotensin ii-type-1 and angiotensin ii-type-2 receptors in young and old mice. reciprocal actions of angiotensin ii are, due to angiotensin ii-type-1 and angiotensin ii-type-2 receptors situated on different cell types but only at young ages, angiotensin ii-type-1 receptors of unknown function are present on endothelium.

GABAA receptors in the dorsal hippocampus are involved in sate-dependent learning induced by lithium in mice

These experiments examined the effects of pre-test intra dorsal hippocampus (intra-CA1) administration of GABAA receptor agonist and antagonist, muscimol and bicuculline respectively, on state-dependent learning induced by lithium. Male NMRI mice were trained in a one-trial step-down inhibitory avoidance task, and immediately after training they received IP injections of either saline (10 mL/kg...

Angiotensin II AT1 receptors preserve vasodilator reactivity in skeletal muscle resistance arteries.

Resistance arteries (100-150 microm) were isolated from the gracilis muscle of normotensive Sprague-Dawley rats placed on a high-salt (HS) diet (4.0% NaCl) for 3-7 days. Exposure to the HS diet eliminated vascular relaxation in response to hypoxia (PO2 reduction to 35-40 Torr) and iloprost, a stable analog of prostacyclin. Vasodilator responses were restored in arteries isolated from chronicall...

Cardiovascular autonomic control in mice lacking angiotensin AT1a receptors.

Studies examined the role of angiotensin (ANG) AT1a receptors in cardiovascular autonomic control by measuring arterial pressure (AP) and heart rate (HR) variability and the effect of autonomic blockade in mice lacking AT1a receptors (AT1a -/-). Using radiotelemetry in conscious AT1a +/+ and AT1a -/- mice, we determined 1) AP and pulse interval (PI) variability in time and frequency (spectral a...

Increased renal vasodilator prostanoids prevent hypertension in mice lacking the angiotensin subtype-2 receptor.

The angiotensin subtype-1 (AT(1)) receptor mediates renal prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)) production, and pharmacological blockade of the angiotensin subtype-2 (AT(2)) receptor potentiates the action of angiotensin II (Ang II) to increase PGE(2) levels. We investigated the role of the AT(2) receptor in prostaglandin metabolism in mice with targeted deletion of the AT(2) receptor gene. Mice lacking ...
