چکیده

It has been described recently that the nonpeptide AVE 0991 (AVE) mimics the effects of angiotensin-(1-7) [Ang-(1-7)] in bovine endothelial cells. In this study, we tested the possibility that AVE is an agonist of the Ang-(1-7) receptor Mas, in vitro and in vivo. In water-loaded C57BL/6 mice, AVE (0.58 nmol/g body weight) produced a significant reduction in urinary volume (0.06+/-0.03 mL/60 min [n=9] versus 0.27+/-0.05 [n=9]; P<0.01), associated with an increase in urinary osmolality. The Ang-(1-7) antagonist A-779 completely blocked the antidiuretic effect of AVE. As observed previously for Ang-(1-7), the antidiuretic effect of AVE after water load was blunted in Mas-knockout mice (0.37+/-0.10 mL/60 min [n=9] versus 0.27+/-0.03 mL/60 min [n=11] AVE-treated mice). In vitro receptor autoradiography in C57BL/6 mice showed that the specific binding of 125I-Ang-(1-7) to mouse kidney slices was displaced by AVE, whereas no effects were observed in the binding of 125I-angiotensin II or 125I-angiotensin IV. Furthermore, AVE displaced the binding of 125I-Ang-(1-7) in Mas-transfected monkey kidney cells (COS) cells (IC50=4.75x10(-8) mol/L) and of rhodamine-Ang-(1-7) in Mas-transfected Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells. It also produced NO release in Mas-transfected CHO cells blocked by A-779 but not by angiotensin II type-1 (AT1) and AT2 antagonists. Contrasting with these data, the antidiuretic effect of AVE was totally blocked by AT2 antagonists and partially blocked (approximately 60%) by AT1 antagonists. The binding data, the results obtained in Mas-knockout mice and in Mas-transfected cells, show that AVE is a Mas receptor agonist. Our data also suggest the involvement of AT2/AT1-related mechanisms, including functional antagonism, oligomerization or cross-talk, in the renal responses to AVE.

The nonpeptide angiotensin-(1-7) receptor Mas agonist AVE-0991 attenuates heart failure induced by myocardial infarction.

The nonpeptide AVE-0991, which has been reported as a selective ligand for the angiotensin-(1-7) [ANG-(1-7)] receptor Mas, has actions similar to those attributed to the cardioprotective product of the renin-angiotensin system, ANG-(1-7). In this study, we evaluated the cardiac effects of AVE-0991 in normal and infarcted male Wistar rats. Myocardial infarction was induced by left coronary arter...

Renoprotective Effects of AVE0991, a Nonpeptide Mas Receptor Agonist, in Experimental Acute Renal Injury

Renal ischemia and reperfusion (I/R) is the major cause of acute kidney injury in hospitalized patients. Mechanisms underlying reperfusion-associated injury include recruitment and activation of leukocytes and release of inflammatory mediators. In this study, we investigated the renal effects of acute administration of AVE0991, an agonist of Mas, the angiotensin-(1-7) receptor, the angiotensin-...

Evidence for Mas-mediated bradykinin potentiation by the angiotensin-(1-7) nonpeptide mimic AVE 0991 in normotensive rats.

We evaluated the effect of the nonpeptide mimic of angiotensin (Ang)-(1-7), AVE 0991, on the hypotensive effect of bradykinin (BK). Increasing doses of intra-arterial or intravenous BK were administered before and 30 minutes after the beginning of AVE 0991 infusion. The effect of AVE 0991 on plasma Ang-converting enzyme activity was tested using Hip-His-Leu as the substrate. The interaction of ...

Acute and chronic angiotensin-(1-7) restores vasodilation and reduces oxidative stress in mesenteric arteries of salt-fed rats.

This study determined the effect of ANG-(1-7) on salt-induced suppression of endothelium-dependent vasodilatation in the mesenteric arteries of male Sprague-Dawley rats. Chronic intravenous infusion of ANG-(1-7), oral administration of the nonpeptide mas receptor agonist AVE-0991, and acute preincubation of the arteries with ANG-(1-7) and AVE-0991 all restored vasodilator responses to both ACh ...

Beneficial Effects of the Activation of the Angiotensin-(1–7) Mas Receptor in a Murine Model of Adriamycin-Induced Nephropathy

Angiotensin-(1-7) [Ang-(1-7)] is a biologically active heptapeptide that may counterbalance the physiological actions of angiotensin II (Ang II) within the renin-angiotensin system (RAS). Here, we evaluated whether activation of the Mas receptor with the oral agonist, AVE 0991, would have renoprotective effects in a model of adriamycin (ADR)-induced nephropathy. We also evaluated whether the Ma...
