Katovich, Michael J., Craig H. Gelband, Phyllis Reaves, Hong-Wei Wang, and Mohan K. Raizada. Reversal of hypertension by angiotensin II type 1 receptor antisense gene therapy in the adult SHR. Am. J. Physiol. 277 (Heart Circ. Physiol. 46): H1260–H1264, 1999.—Pharmacological blockade of the renin-angiotensin system in both hypertensive patients and animal models such as the spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR) effectively reduces blood pressure (BP). Recent studies have established that virally mediated delivery (vector LNSV) of antisense to the angiotensin II type 1 receptor (LNSV-AT1R-AS) will attenuate or abolish the development of hypertension in the SHR. However, the effectiveness of this gene therapy approach to reduce high BP once it is established in the adult has not been ascertained. In this study, we investigated the hypothesis that viral delivery of AT1R-AS into the adult SHR will reduce BP and reverse the vascular reactivity associated with the hypertension. Intracardiac injection of virus particles containing LNSV-AT1R-AS into adult SHR resulted in a 30to 60-mmHg reduction in BP that was maintained for up to 36 days compared with SHR treated with virus alone (LNSV without antisense). Measurement of renal resistance arteriolar reactivity demonstrated a leftward shift in the KCl and phenylephrine concentration-response relationships and an impaired endothelium-dependent relaxation to ACh in LNSVtreated SHR compared with control Wistar-Kyoto rats. These vascular alterations were reversed in the LNSV-AT1R-AStreated SHR. Collectively, these data demonstrate that virally mediated gene delivery of AT1R-AS can effectively reduce BP and reverse renovascular pathophysiology associated with the hypertensive state when administered to the adult SHR.
