چکیده

The angiotensin II (Ang II) slow-pressor response entails an increase in mean arterial pressure and reactive oxygen species. We used double-stranded interfering RNAs (siRNAs) in Sprague Dawley rats in vivo to test the hypothesis that an increase in the p22 component of NADPH oxidase is required for this response. Reactive oxygen species were assessed from excretion of 8-isoprostane prostaglandin F2 and blood pressure by telemetry. Two siRNA sequences to p22 (sip22) reduced mRNA 85% in cultured vascular smooth muscle cells. Rats received rapid (10 second) IV injections (50 to 100 g) of 1 of 2 different sip22, control siRNA, or vehicle (TransIt in saline) during 14 day SC infusions of Ang II (200 ng kg 1 min ) or sham infusions. In both groups, sip22, relative to control siRNA, led to significant (P 0.001; 50%) reductions in expression of p22 mRNA and protein and of NADPH oxidase activity in the kidney cortex. In Ang II–infused rats, sip22 decreased protein expression for Nox-1, -2, and -4 but increased p47. Three days after sip22, conscious rats infused with Ang II had a reduced excretion of 8-isoprostane (10 1 versus 19 2 pg 24 h ; P 0.01) and a reduced mean arterial pressure (142 5 versus 168 4 mm Hg; P 0.005). An increase in p22 is required for increased renal NADPH oxidase activity, expression of Nox proteins and oxidative stress, and contributes 50% to hypertension during an Ang II slow-pressor response.

RNA silencing in vivo reveals role of p22phox in rat angiotensin slow pressor response.

The angiotensin II (Ang II) slow-pressor response entails an increase in mean arterial pressure and reactive oxygen species.

The p22 RNA Silencing Suppressor of the Crinivirus Tomato chlorosis virus is Dispensable for Local Viral Replication but Important for Counteracting an Antiviral RDR6-Mediated Response during Systemic Infection

Among the components of the RNA silencing pathway in plants, RNA-dependent RNA polymerases (RDRs) play fundamental roles in antiviral defence. Here, we demonstrate that the Nicotiana benthamiana RDR6 is involved in defence against the bipartite crinivirus (genus Crinivirus, family Closteroviridae) Tomato chlorosis virus (ToCV). Additionally, by producing a p22-deficient ToCV infectious mutant c...

Studies on the peptides encoded by rat and human angiotensin II complementary RNA.

Some evidence suggests that RNA complementary to the messenger RNA encoding a peptide hormone encodes a complementary peptide that binds the original peptide hormone. The objective of this investigation was to assess in vivo the ability of complementary angiotensin II (II Ang) peptides to block the biological effects of angiotensin II (Ang II). Increasing concentrations of rat or human II Ang w...

Role of extracellular superoxide dismutase in the mouse angiotensin slow pressor response.

Low rates of angiotensin II (Ang II) infusion raise blood pressure, renal vascular resistance (RVR), NADPH oxidase activity, and superoxide. We tested the hypothesis that these effects are ameliorated by extracellular superoxide dismutase (EC-SOD). EC-SOD knockout (-/-) and wild type (+/+) mice were equipped with blood pressure telemeters and infused subcutaneously with Ang II (400 ng/kg per mi...

Role of oxidative stress in endothelial dysfunction and enhanced responses to angiotensin II of afferent arterioles from rabbits infused with angiotensin II.

The hypothesis that O(2)(.-) enhances angiotensin II (AngII)-induced vasoconstriction and impairs acetylcholine-induced vasodilation of afferent arterioles (Aff) in AngII-induced hypertension was investigated. Rabbits (n = 6 per group) received 12 to 14 d of 0.154 M NaCl (Sham), subpressor AngII (60 ng/kg per min; AngII 60) or slow pressor AngII (200 ng/kg per min; AngII 200). Individual Aff we...
