The aim of the present study was to test the hypothesis that elevation of prorenin in plasma is sufficient to induce cardiac fibrosis. Normotensive cyp1a1ren-2 transgenic rats with normal plasma prorenin and aldosterone levels were given 0.125% indole-3-carbinol (I3C) orally for a period of 12 wk. Plasma prorenin and aldosterone levels were determined in 4-wk intervals, and cardiac marker enzymes for hypertrophy, fibrosis, and oxidative stress as well as cardiac pathology were investigated. In I3C-treated cyplal ren-2 transgenic rats, plasma prorenin concentrations were >100-fold elevated ([greater than or equal to] 7.1 [+ or -] 2.6 [micro]g ANG I x [ml.sup.-1] x [h.sup.-1] vs. [less than or equal to] 0.07 [+ or -] 0.1; P < 0.001), whereas active renin levels were suppressed (0.09 [+ or -] 0.02 vs. 0.2 [+ or -] 0.1: P < 0.05). Aldosterone concentrations were elevated three- to fourfold for a period of >4 wk (574 [+ or -] 51 vs. 160 [+ or -] 68 pg/ml; P < 0.01). After 12 wk of I3C, rats exhibited moderate cardiac hypertrophy (heart weight/body weight 2.5 [+ or -] 0.04 vs. 3.1 [+ or -] 0.1 mg/g; P < 0.0l). There was a slight increase in mRNA contents of endothelin 1 (1.21 [+ or -] 0.08 vs. 0.75 [+ or -] 0.007: P < 0.001), NADP oxidase-2 (1.03 [+ or -] 0.006 vs. 0.76 [+ or -] 0.04: P < 0.001), transforming growth factor-[beta] (0.99 [+ or -] 0.06 vs. 0.84 [+ or -] 0.04; P < 0.05), collagen type I (1.32 [+ or -] 0.32 vs. 0.94 [+ or -] 0.18; P < 0.05), and intercellular adhesion molecule-1(1.12 [+ or -] 0.12 vs. 0.84 [+ or -] 0.08: P < 0.05). These genes are known to be stimulated by the renin-angiotensin system. There were no histological signs of fibrosis in the heart. We found that prorenin and aldosterone alone are not sufficient to induce considerable cardiac fibrosis in the absence of sodium load. prorenin; aldosterone; cardiac fibrosis: renin receptor doi: 10.1152/ajpheart.01135.2008.

Der (Pro)Renin Rezeptor (PRR) ist ein hoch konservierter Transmembranrezeptor, der ursprünglich beschrieben wurde Renin und Prorenin zu binden. Durch Bindung an Renin und Prorenin beeinflusst der PRR das Renin-Angiotensin-Systems und induziert eine MAP-Kinase-Signaltransduktion. Teile des PRR sind assoziiert mit der vakuolären H+-ATPase (vATPase), welche wichtig für die Azidifizierung zellulärer Organellen ist. Kürzlich wurde eine neue Funktion des PRR für den WNT/β-catenin Signalweg beschrieben. Hier dient der PRR als Verbindungsglied zwischen den WNT Rezeptoren und der vATPase. Die Mechanismen der Funktionen des PRR sind noch nicht verstanden, aber es wird angenommen, dass der PRR in die Regulation verschiedenster zellulärer Mechanismen involviert ist. Es gibt bis jetzt keine biochemische und strukturelle Charakterisierung des PRR. In der vorliegenden Arbeit wurden strukturelle Studien mit verschiedenen Konstrukten des extrazellulären Teils des PRR durchgeführt. Alle PRR Konstrukte (hsPRR (170-303), hsPRR (101-257) und hsPRR (166-257)) zeigten eine alpha-helikale Faltung und konnten nicht an Renin oder Prorenin binden. Der hsPRR (101-257) liegt in einem Konzentrations- und pH-abhängigen Monomer-/Oligomerequilibrium vor, während der hsPRR (166-257) als Monomer/Dimerequilibrium vorkommt. Diese Daten bilden die Grundlage für weitere strukturelle und funktionelle Untersuchungen. Konditionelle KO Mäuse sind eine exzellente Methode, um die physiologische Rolle des PRR in vivo zu untersuchen. Eines der wichtigsten Proteine des Wnt/β-catenin Signaltransduktionsweges, β-catenin, ist fundamental für die T-Zell Entwicklung. Aus diesem Grund wurde untersucht, ob die Deletion des PRR in T-Zellen ebenfalls zu einem Verlust von T-Zellen und zu einer Entwicklungsstörung führt. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass der PRR wichtig für eine vollständige T-Zellentwicklung ist und unterstützen die Hypothese, dass der PRR eine Rolle für Wnt/β-catenin Singaltransduktion in T-Zellen spielt. The (pro)renin receptor (PRR) is an evolutionary conserved transmembrane receptor that was first discovered to bind renin and prorenin. Upon binding, PRR was shown to influence the activity of the renin-angiotensin-system (RAS) and to induce MAP kinase signalling. It was previously shown that a truncated, transmembrane part of PRR was associated to vacuolar H+-ATPase (vATPase), a proton pump which is important for acidification. Recently, a new function of PRR in the WNT/β-catenin signalling pathway was described. Here, the PRR was shown to be an adaptor between WNT receptors and the vATPase. The precise mechanisms by which PRR functions, are still elucidative but the PRR is supposed to regulate various cellular processes. Currently, no biochemical characterization or structural analysis is available for PRR. In order to gain understanding of the function of the PRR, structural studies were performed with several truncated proteins of the extracellular part of the PRR. All PRR proteins (hsPRR170-303, hsPRR 101-257 or hsPRR 166-257) showed an overall alpha helical folding and did not bind renin or prorenin. The oligomeric assembly of the proteins was investigated. The hsPRR (101-257) was shown to be in a concentration and pH dependent monomer/oligomer equilibrium, whereas hsPRR (166-257) is only present in a monomer/dimer equililibrium. These data are the basics for further structural and functional studies. Additionally, conditional KO animals are an excellent tool to investigate the physiological role of the PRR in vivo. As the major mediator of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, β-catenin, is crucial for T cell maturation, a conditionel deletion of PRR in T cells was analyzed. PRR deletion resulted in a loss of mature T cells. Moreover, a defect in T cell maturation in the thymus was determined. Our data showed that PRR is critical for proper T cell development and support the hypothesis that PRR contributes to Wnt/β-catenin signaling in T cells.

- Abstract
In 2002, Nguyen et al. cloned the (pro)renin receptor ((P)RR). Two years later, Suzuki, Ichihara and colleagues provided a concept to inhibit the (P)RR through HRP. This decapeptide mimics a sequence of the prorenin prosegment and functions thereby as a decoy peptide. They showed that HRP prevented diabetic nephropathy in rodents and ameliorated renal and cardiac damage in spontaneously hypertensive rats. We tested HRP and the human renin inhibitor aliskiren in transgenic rats overexpressing the human renin and angiotensinogen genes (dTGR). Only aliskiren, but not HRP, was able to ameliorate target organ damage in this model. HRP had also no effect on target organ damage in renovascular hypertensive rats. In vitro studies showed that HRP did not inhibit (pro)renin binding and signaling. More confusing was the fact that HRP bound to cells lacking (P)RR on their surface. We believe that HRP does not act as a competitive antagonist for the (P)RR and promotes its action via an alternative mechanism. Elucidating this mechanism could offer further opportunities, in terms of (pro)renin research.
