Abstract
- The Renin–Angiotensin–Aldosterone System (RAAS) has been implicated in systemic and neurogenic hypertension. The infusion of RAAS inhibitors blunted arterial pressure and efficacy of use-dependent synaptic transmission in sympathetic ganglia. The current investigation aims to elucidate the impact of RAAS-mediated receptors on left ventricular cardiomyocytes and the role of the sarcolemma-bound carrier system in the heart of the hypertensive transgene model. A significant increase in mRNA and the protein expression for angiotensin II (AngII) receptor subtype-1 (AT1R) was observed in (mREN2)27 transgenic compared to the normotensive rodents. Concurrently, there was an upregulation in AT1R and a downregulation in the MAS1 proto-oncogene protein receptor as well as the AngII subtype-2 receptor in hypertensive rodents. There were modifications in the expressions of sarcolemma Na+-K+-ATPase, Na+-Ca2+ exchanger, and Sarcoendoplasmic Reticulum Calcium ATPase in the transgenic hypertensive model. These observations suggest chronic RAAS activation led to a shift in receptor balance favoring augmented cardiac contractility and disruption in calcium handling through modifications of membrane-bound carrier proteins and blood pressure. The study provides insight into mechanisms underlying RAAS-mediated cardiac dysfunction and highlights the potential value of targeting the protective arm of AngII in hypertension.
