چکیده

Leptin contributes to the control of resting metabolic rate (RMR) and blood pressure (BP) through its actions in the arcuate nucleus (ARC). The renin-angiotensin system (RAS) and angiotensin AT1 receptors within the brain are also involved in the control of RMR and BP, but whether this regulation overlaps with leptin's actions is unclear. Here, we have demonstrated the selective requirement of the AT1A receptor in leptin-mediated control of RMR. We observed that AT1A receptors colocalized with leptin receptors (LEPRs) in the ARC. Cellular coexpression of AT1A and LEPR was almost exclusive to the ARC and occurred primarily within neurons expressing agouti-related peptide (AgRP). Mice lacking the AT1A receptor specifically in LEPR-expressing cells failed to show an increase in RMR in response to a high-fat diet and deoxycorticosterone acetate-salt (DOCA-salt) treatments, but BP control remained intact. Accordingly, loss of RMR control was recapitulated in mice lacking AT1A in AgRP-expressing cells. We conclude that angiotensin activates divergent mechanisms to control BP and RMR and that the brain RAS functions as a major integrator for RMR control through its actions at leptin-sensitive AgRP cells of the ARC.

OBJECTIVE Angiotensin II (Ang II) infusion causes aortic medial thickening via stimulation of angiotensin II type 1a (AT1a) receptors. The purpose of this study was to determine the cellular loci of AT1a receptors that mediate this Ang II-induced aortic pathology.

Depletion of Endothelial or Smooth Muscle Cell-Specific Angiotensin II Type 1a Receptors Does Not Influence Aortic Aneurysms or Atherosclerosis in LDL Receptor Deficient Mice

BACKGROUND Whole body genetic deletion of AT1a receptors in mice uniformly reduces hypercholesterolemia and angiotensin II-(AngII) induced atherosclerosis and abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs). However, the role of AT1a receptor stimulation of principal cell types resident in the arterial wall remains undefined. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine whether deletion of AT1a receptor...

Angiotensin (AT1A) receptor-mediated increases in transcellular sodium transport in proximal tubule cells.

Angiotensin II (ANG II), acting through angiotensin type 1A receptors (AT1A), is important in regulating proximal tubule salt and water balance. AT1A are present on apical (AP) and basolateral (BL) surfaces of proximal tubule epithelial cells (PTEC). The molecular mechanism of AT1A function in epithelial tissue is not well understood, because specific binding of ANG II to intact PTEC has not be...

Role of collecting duct AT1a receptors in concentrating urine.

Water-electrolyte homeostasis is pivotal for many, if not all, physiologic processes of the body. It is not surprising, therefore, that the control of water-electrolyte balance is extremely complex and multifactorial.1 This involves regulation of thirst, salt appetite, sympathetic tone, and vascular contractility, as well as renal mechanisms modulating excretion of water and solutes. Systemic h...

Peptides from the intracellular regions of G protein-coupled receptors are useful probes of receptor-G protein coupling mechanisms. As a first step toward the genetic delivery of such "G protein inhibitors," we describe inhibition of angiotensin II (AII) receptor responses by expressed fragments of the second and third intracellular loops of the AT1a receptor (AT1a/i2 and AT1a/i3). Transient tr...
