Lee, Sunghou, Hong Ji, Zheng Wu, Wei Zheng, Ali Hassan, and Kathryn Sandberg. Translational regulation of ANG II type 1 receptors in proliferating vascular smooth muscle cells. Am J Physiol Regul Integr Comp Physiol 290: R50–R56, 2006. First published August 25, 2005; doi:10.1152/ajpregu.00448.2005.—The current study examined angiotensin receptor (ATR) regulation in proliferating rat aortic vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) in culture. Radioligand competition analysis coupled with RNase protection assays (RPAs) revealed that angiotensin type 1a receptor (AT1aR) densities (Bmax) increased by 30% between 5 and 7 days in culture [Bmax (fmol/mg protein): day 5, 379 8.4 vs. day 7, 481 12, n 3, P 0.05] under conditions in which no significant changes in AT1aR mRNA expression occurred [in RPA arbitrary units (AU): day 5, 0.23 0.01 vs. day 7, 0.24 0.04, n 4] or in mRNA synthesis determined by nuclear run-on assays [AU: day 5, 0.35 0.14 vs. day 7, 0.33 0.11, n 5]. In contrast, polysome distribution analysis indicated that AT1aR mRNA was more efficiently translated in day 7 cells compared with day 5 [% of AT1aR mRNA in fraction 2 out of total AT1R mRNA recovered from the sucrose gradient: day 5, 20.9 9.9 vs. day 7, 56.8 5.6, n 3, P 0.001]. Accompanying the polysome shift was 50% less RNA-protein complex (RPC) formation between VSMC cytosolic RNA binding proteins in day 7 cells compared with 5-day cultures and the 5 leader sequence (5 LS) of the AT1aR [5 LS RPC (AU): day 5, 0.62 0.15 vs. day 7, 0.23 0.03; n 4, P 0.05] and also with exon 2 [Exon 2 RPC (AU): day 5, 35.0 5.7 vs. day 7, 17.2 3.6; n 4, P 0.05]. Taken together, these results suggest that AT1aR expression is regulated by translation during VSMC proliferation in part by RNA binding proteins that interact within exon 2 in the 5 LS of the AT1aR mRNA.

Objective(s): The study aimed to investigate the effects of adrenomedullin (ADM) and proadrenomedullin N- terminal 20 peptide (PAMP) on angiotensin II (AngII)-stimulated proliferation in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). Materials and Methods: Thoracic aorta was obtained from Wistar rats and VSMCs were isolated from aorta tissues and then cultured. In vitro cultured VSMCs were stimulated w...

Role of angiotensin type-1 and angiotensin type-2 receptors in the expression of vascular integrins in angiotensin II-infused rats.
Angiotensin II plays an important role in vascular remodeling through effects that involve, in part, interactions of vascular smooth muscle cells with extracellular matrix via integrins, which belong to a family of transmembrane receptors. We hypothesized that angiotensin (Ang) II regulates expression of vascular integrins and their ligands in experimental hypertension. Rats were infused subcut...

متن کاملPathophysiological role of angiotensin II type 2 receptor in cardiovascular and renal diseases.
Since the discovery of nonpeptidic ligands, the receptors for angiotensin (Ang) II have been classified into 2 subtypes (Ang II type 1 receptor [AT1-R] and Ang II type 2 receptor [AT2-R]). AT1-R mediates most of the cardiovascular actions of Ang II. AT2-R is expressed at very high levels in the developing fetus. Its expression is very low in the cardiovascular system of the adult. The expressio...
