Our purpose in this study was to identify different ventilatory phenotypes among four different strains of rats. We examined 114 rats from three in-house, inbred strains and one outbred strain: Brown Norway (BN; n = 26), Dahl salt-sensitive (n = 24), Fawn-hooded Hypertensive (FHH: n = 27), and outbred Sprague-Dawley rats (SD; n = 37). We measured eupneic (room air) breathing and the ventilatory responses to hypoxia (12% O(2)-88% N(2)), hypercapnia (7% CO(2)), and two levels of submaximal exercise. Primary strain differences were between BN and the other strains. BN rats had a relatively attenuated ventilatory response to CO(2) (P < 0.001), an accentuated ventilatory response to exercise (P < 0.05), and an accentuated ventilatory roll-off during hypoxia (P < 0.05). Ventilation during hypoxia was lower than other strains, but hyperventilation during hypoxia was equal to the other strains (P > 0.05), indicating that the metabolic rate during hypoxia decreased more in BN rats than in other strains. Another strain difference was in the frequency and timing components of augmented breaths, where FHH rats frequently differed from the other strains, and the BN rats had the longest expiratory time of the augmented breaths (probably secondary to the blunted CO(2) sensitivity). These strain differences not only provide insight into physiological mechanisms but also indicate traits (such as CO(2) sensitivity) that are genetically regulated. Finally, the data establish a foundation for physiological genomic studies aimed at elucidating the genetics of these ventilatory control mechanisms. 相似文献

Nitric oxide (NO) is a regulating factor in respiration. The question was whether NO synthase (NOS) blockade would affect posthypoxic ventilatory behavior similarly in two rat strains with known differences in steady-state hypoxic and hypercapnic responses and in posthypoxic ventilatory behavior. Ventilatory behavior [respiratory frequency (f) and minute ventilation (VE)] was measured by body plethysmography on unanesthetized, unrestrained adult male Sprague-Dawley (SD; n = 8) and Brown Norway rats (BN; n = 8) at baseline and 1 min after rapid transition to 100% O(2) after 5 min of isocapnic hypoxia (10% O(2)-3% CO(2)-balance N(2)). Testing was performed 30 min after intraperitoneal injection of either saline (vehicle) or 100 mg/kg of N(G)-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME). Resting f and VE increased after L-NAME in both strains, more markedly in SD compared with BN (77 vs. 47% for f, and 42 vs. 16% for VE, respectively; P < 0.05). With vehicle, posthypoxic f and VE decline (Dejours phenomenon) was present only in BN and was absent in SD. With L-NAME, the Dejours phenomena were still present in BN but also were apparent in SD (f: 95.3 vs. 134.4 beats/min at baseline; VE: 66.3 vs. 88.8 ml/min at baseline; P < 0.05). Thus NOS blockade results in a strain-specific alteration in resting ventilation and uncovers the Dejours phenomenon in the SD strain. 相似文献

To understand the genetic basis of pathways involved in the control of breathing, a large scale, high-throughput study using chromosomal substitution strains of rats is underway. Eight new consomic rat stains (SS-2(BN), SS-4(BN), SS-6(BN), SS-7(BN), SS-8(BN), SS-11(BN), SS-12(BN), SS-14(BN), SS-Y(BN)), containing one homozygous BN/NHsdMcwi (BN) chromosome on a background of SS/JrHsdMcwi (SS), were created by PhysGen (http://pga.mcw.edu) Program for Genomic Applications. Male and female rats were studied using standard plethysmography under control conditions and during acute hypoxia (inspired oxygen fraction = 0.12) and hypercapnia (inspired CO(2) fraction = 0.07). The rats were also studied during treadmill exercise. Both male and female BN rats had a significantly lower ventilatory response during 7% CO(2) compared with SS rats of the same gender. SS-6(BN) female rats had a significantly reduced ventilatory response, similar to BN rats due primarily to a reduced tidal volume. Male SS-6(BN) rats had a significantly reduced tidal volume response to hypercapnia but a slightly increased frequency response during hypercapnia. Gene(s) on the Y chromosome may play a role in this increased frequency response in the male rats because the SS-Y(BN) hypercapnic ventilatory response involves a significantly increased frequency response. Several chromosomal substitutions slightly altered the ventilatory responses to hypoxia and exercise. However, genes on chromosomes 6 and Y of those studied are of primary importance in aspects of ventilatory control currently studied. 相似文献

This study sought to identify the mechanisms of vascular relaxation that are rescued in middle cerebral arteries (MCA) of SS.13BN consomic rats by substituting chromosome 13 containing the renin gene from Brown Norway (BN) rats into the Dahl salt-sensitive (SS) genetic background. Isolated MCA from SS rats exhibited an indomethacin-sensitive constriction in response to acetylcholine (ACh) and hypoxia. ACh-induced dilation was NO dependent and hypoxic dilations were cyclooxygenase (COX) dependent in BN and SS.13BN rats. In SS rats, hypoxic dilation was restored by indomethacin and abolished by inhibiting cytochrome P-450 epoxygenases, suggesting a role for epoxyeicosatrienoic acids. MCA from SS and SS.13BN rats constricted and MCA from BN rats dilated in response to the stable prostacyclin analog iloprost. MCA from SS.13BN and BN rats (but not SS rats) dilated in response to the prostaglandin E2 receptor agonist butaprost. Hypoxia increased prostacyclin release in cerebral arteries from all the strains, whereas thromboxane A2 production was reduced in BN rat vessels only. These data suggest that SS rats may be less sensitive to vasodilator prostaglandins and that normalization of renin-angiotensin system regulation causes a switch from production of COX-derived vasoconstrictor metabolites (in SS rats) toward NO-dependent relaxation in response to ACh- and prostaglandin-dependent dilation in response to hypoxia in SS.13(BN) rats. 相似文献

While orthostatic tachycardia is the hallmark of postural tachycardia syndrome (POTS), orthostasis also initiates increased minute ventilation (Ve) and decreased end-tidal CO(2) in many patients. We hypothesized that chemoreflex sensitivity would be increased in patients with POTS. We therefore measured chemoreceptor sensitivity in 20 POTS (16 women and 4 men) and 14 healthy controls (10 women and 4 men), 16-35 yr old by exposing them to eucapneic hyperoxia (30% O(2)), eucapneic hypoxia (10% O(2)), and hypercapnic hyperoxia (30% O(2) + 5% CO(2)) while supine and during 70° head-upright tilt. Heart rate, mean arterial pressure, O(2) saturation, end-tidal CO(2), and Ve were measured. Peripheral chemoreflex sensitivity was calculated as the difference in Ve during hypoxia compared with room air divided by the change in O(2) saturation. Central chemoreflex sensitivity was determined by the difference in Ve during hypercapnia divided by the change in CO(2). POTS subjects had an increased peripheral chemoreflex sensitivity (in l·min(-1)·%oxygen(-1)) in response to hypoxia (0.42 ± 0.38 vs. 0.19 ± 0.17) but a decreased central chemoreflex sensitivity (l·min(-1)·Torr(-1)) CO(2) response (0.49 ± 0.38 vs. 1.04 ± 0.18) compared with controls. CO(2) sensitivity was also reduced in POTS subjects when supine. POTS patients are markedly sensitized to hypoxia when upright but desensitized to CO(2) while upright or supine. The interactions between orthostatic baroreflex unloading and altered chemoreflex sensitivities may explain the hyperventilation in POTS patients. 相似文献

This study examined whether substitution of chromosome 5 containing the CYP4A genes from Brown Norway rat onto the Dahl S salt-sensitive (SS) genetic background upregulates the renal production of 20-HETE and attenuates the development of hypertension. The expression of CYP4A protein and the production of 20-HETE were significantly higher in the renal cortex and outer medulla of SS.5(BN) (chromosome 5-substituted Brown Norway rat) consomic rats fed either a low-salt (LS) or high-salt (HS) diet than that seen in SS rats. The increase in the renal production of 20-HETE in SS.5(BN) rats was associated with elevated expression of CYP4A2 mRNA. MAP measured by telemetry rose from 117 ± 1 to 183 ± 5 mmHg in SS rats fed a HS diet for 21 days, but only increased to 151 ± 5 mmHg in SS.5(BN) rats. The pressure-natriuretic and diuretic responses were twofold higher in SS.5(BN) rats compared with SS rats. Protein excretion rose to 354 ± 17 mg/day in SS rats fed a HS diet for 21 days compared with 205 ± 13 mg/day in the SS.5(BN) rats, and the degree of glomerular injury was reduced. Baseline glomerular capillary pressure (Pgc) was similar in SS.5(BN) rats (43 ± 1 mmHg) and Dahl S (44 ± 2 mmHg) rats. However, Pgc increased to 59 ± 3 mmHg in SS rats fed a HS diet for 7 days, while it remained unaltered in SS.5(BN) rats (43 ± 2 mmHg). Chronic administration of an inhibitor of the synthesis of 20-HETE (HET0016, 10 mg·kg(-1)·day(-1) iv) reversed the antihypertensive phenotype seen in the SS.5(BN) rats. These findings indicate that the transfer of chromosome 5 from the BN rat onto the SS genetic background increases the renal expression of CYP4A protein and the production of 20-HETE and that 20-HETE contributes to the antihypertensive and renoprotective effects seen in the SS.5(BN) consomic strain. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to investigate whether GABA(A) and/or GABA(B) receptor-mediated mechanisms contribute to the impaired ventilatory response and reduced maximal aerobic exercise capacity in obese Zucker rats. Ten lean and 10 obese Zucker rats were studied at 12 wk of age. Minute ventilation (Ve), tidal volume (Vt), and breathing frequency (f) during room air breathing and in response to 10 min of hypercapnia (8% CO(2)) and 30 min of hypoxia (10% O(2)) were measured by the barometric method, and peak oxygen consumption (Vo(2 peak)) was measured by an enclosed metabolic treadmill following the randomized blinded subcutaneous administration of equal volumes of DMSO (vehicle), bicuculline (selective GABA(A) receptor antagonist, 1 mg/kg), and phaclofen (selective GABA(B) receptor antagonist, 1 mg/kg). Administration of bicuculline and phaclofen to lean animals had no effect on Ve and Vo(2 peak). Similarly, phaclofen failed to alter Ve and Vo(2 peak) in obese rats, although it did significantly increase f after 5-20 min of hypoxia. In contrast, bicuculline increased Ve and Vt relative to DMSO during room air breathing and after 10-30 min of hypoxic exposure in obese rats, but it did not increase Ve at 5 min of hypoxemia. Bicuculline increased Vo(2 peak) relative to DMSO in obese Zucker rats. We conclude that endogenous GABA acting on GABA(A) receptors can modulate Ve and Vo(2 peak) in obese but not in lean Zucker rats, whereas endogenous GABA acting on GABA(B) receptors modulates f during hypoxia (5-20 min) in obese rats in a very different manner from that when acting on GABA(A) receptors. 相似文献

Dahl salt-sensitive (SS) and consomic, salt-resistant SS-13(BN) rats possess substantial differences in blood pressure salt-sensitivity even with highly similar genetic backgrounds. The present study examined whether increased oxidative stress, particularly H2O2, in the renal medulla of SS rats contributes to these differences. Blood pressure was measured using femoral arterial catheters in three groups of rats: 1) 12-wk-old SS and consomic SS-13(BN) rats fed a 0.4% NaCl diet, 2) SS rats fed a 4% NaCl diet and chronically infused with saline or catalase (6.9 microg x kg(-1) x min(-1)) directly into the renal medulla, and 3) SS-13(BN) fed high salt (4%) and infused with saline or H2O2 (347 nmol x kg(-1) x min(-1)) into the renal medullary interstitium. After chronic blood pressure measurements, renal medullary interstitial H2O2 concentration ([H2O2]) was collected by microdialysis and analyzed with Amplex red. Blood pressure and [H2O2] were both significantly higher in SS (126 +/- 3 mmHg and 145 +/- 17 nM, respectively) vs. SS-13(BN) rats (116 +/- 2 mmHg and 56 +/- 14 nM) fed a 0.4% diet. Renal interstitial catalase infusion significantly decreased [H2O2] (96 +/- 41 vs. 297 +/- 52 nM) and attenuated the hypertension (146 +/- 2 mmHg catalase vs. 163 +/- 4 mmHg saline) in SS rats after 5 days of high salt (4%). H2O2 infused into the renal medulla of consomic SS-13(BN) fed high salt (4%) for 7 days accentuated the salt sensitivity (145 +/- 2 mmHg H2O2 vs. 134 +/- 1 mmHg saline). [H2O2] was also increased in the treated group (83 +/- 1 nM H2O2 vs. 44 +/- 9 nM saline). These data show that medullary production of H2O2 may contribute to salt-induced hypertension in SS rats and that chromosome 13 of the Brown Norway contains gene(s) that protect against renal medullary oxidant stress. 相似文献

High-throughput studies in the Medical College of Wisconsin Program for Genomic Applications (Physgen) were designed to link chromosomes with physiological function in consomic strains derived from a cross between Dahl salt-sensitive SS/JrHsdMcwi (SS) and Brown Norway normotensive BN/NHsdMcwi (BN) rats. The specific goal of the vascular protocol was to characterize the responses of aortic rings from these strains to vasoconstrictor and vasodilator stimuli (phenylephrine, acetylcholine, sodium nitroprusside, and bath hypoxia) to identify chromosomes that either increase or decrease vascular reactivity to these vasoactive stimuli. Because previous studies demonstrated sex-specific quantitative trait loci (QTLs) related to regulation of cardiovascular phenotypes in an F2 cross between the parental strains, males and females of each consomic strain were included in all experiments. As there were significant sex-specific differences in aortic sensitivity to vasoconstrictor and vasodilator stimuli compared with the parental SS strain, we report the results of the females separately from the males. There were also sex-specific differences in aortic ring sensitivity to these vasoactive stimuli in consomic strains that were fed a high-salt diet (4% NaCl) for 3 wk to evaluate salt-induced changes in vascular reactivity. Differences in genetic architecture could contribute to sex-specific differences in the development and expression of cardiovascular diseases via differential regulation and expression of genes. Our findings are the first to link physiological traits with specific chromosomes in female SS rats and support the idea that sex is an important environmental variable that plays a role in the expression and regulation of genes. 相似文献

Bicarbonate infusion and pH clamp moderately reduce hyperventilation during ramp exercise in humans.

To test the hypothesis that the decrease in plasma pH contributes to the hyperventilation observed in humans in response to exercise at high workloads, five healthy male subjects performed a ramp exercise [maximal workload: 352 W (SD 35)] in a control situation and when arterialized plasma pH was maintained at the resting level (pH clamp) by intravenous infusion of sodium bicarbonate [129 mmol (SD 23), beginning at 59% maximal workload (SD 5)]. Bicarbonate infusion did not modify O(2) consumption (Vo(2)) but significantly (P < 0.05) increased arterial Pco(2), plasma bicarbonate concentration, and respiratory exchange ratio (P < 0.05). At the three highest workloads, pulmonary ventilation (Ve) and Ve/Vo(2) were approximately 5-10% lower (P < 0.05) when bicarbonate was infused than in the control situation, and hyperventilation was reduced by 15-30%. These data suggest that the decrease in plasma pH is one of the factors that contribute to the hyperventilation observed at high workloads. 相似文献

Simultaneous inhibition of the retrotrapezoid nucleus (RTN) and raphe obscurus (ROb) decreased the systemic CO(2) response by 51%, an effect greater than inhibition of RTN (-24%) or ROb (0%) alone, suggesting that ROb modulates chemoreception by interaction with the RTN (19). We investigated this interaction further by simultaneous dialysis of artificial cerebrospinal fluid equilibrated with 25% CO(2) in two probes located in or adjacent to the RTN and ROb in conscious adult male rats. Ventilation was measured in a whole body plethysmograph at 30 degrees C. There were four groups (n = 5): 1) probes correctly placed in both RTN and ROb (RTN-ROb); 2) one probe correctly placed in RTN and one incorrectly placed in areas adjacent to ROb (RTN-peri-ROb); 3) one probe correctly placed in ROb and one probe incorrectly placed in areas adjacent to RTN (peri-RTN-ROb); and 4) neither probe correctly placed (peri-RTN-peri-ROb). Focal simultaneous acidification of RTN-ROb significantly increased ventilation (Ve) up to 22% compared with baseline, with significant increases in both breathing frequency and tidal volume. Focal acidification of RTN-peri-ROb increased Ve significantly by up to 15% compared with baseline. Focal acidification of ROb and peri-RTN had no significant effect. The simultaneous acidification of regions just outside the RTN and ROb actually decreased Ve by up to 11%. These results support a modulatory role for the ROb with respect to central chemoreception at the RTN. 相似文献

Brown Norway (BN) rats develop a robust response to antigens in the lung, characterized by a large increase in allergen-specific immune function and pulmonary eosinophilia. The objective of this study was to investigate alternative models by determining whether other rat strains could be sensitized to house dust mite (HDM) antigen and whether the allergic disease process could be worsened with repeated allergen exposure. In general, BN rats sensitized by either subcutaneous or intratracheal routes exhibited increased pulmonary allergy compared with Sprague-Dawley (SD) and Lewis (L) rats. Multiple intratracheal allergen exposures incrementally increased HDM-specific immune function in BN rats but progressively decreased eosinophil recruitment and markers of lung injury. SD rats had more moderate responses, whereas L rats were relatively unresponsive. Because BN rats developed stronger clinical hallmarks of allergic asthma under various immunization regimes compared with SD and L rats, we conclude that the BN is the most appropriate strain for studying allergic asthma-like responses in rats. Phenotypic differences in response to HDM were associated with differences in the Th1/Th2 cytokine balance and antioxidant capacity. 相似文献

Available studies indicate that both genetic background and aging influence collateral growth capacity, but it is not known how their combination affects collateral growth. We evaluated collateral growth induced by ileal artery ligation in Fischer 344 (F344), Brown Norway (BN), and the first generation hybrid of F344 x BN (F1) rats available for aging research from the National Institute on Aging. Collateral growth was determined by paired diameter measurements in anesthetized rats immediately and 7 days postligation. In 3-mo-old rats, significant collateral growth occurred only in BN (35% +/- 11%, P < 0.001). The endothelial cell number in arterial cross sections was also determined, since this precedes shear-mediated luminal expansion. When compared with the same animal controls, the intimal cell number was increased only in BN rats (92% +/- 21%, P < 0.001). The increase in intimal cell number and the degree of collateral luminal expansion in BN rats was not affected by age from 3 to 24 mo. Immunohistochemical studies demonstrated that intimal cell proliferation was much greater in the collaterals of BN than of F1 rats. The remarkable difference between these three strains of rats used in aging research and the lack of an age-related impairment in the BN rats are novel observations. These rat strains mimic clinical observations of interindividual variation in collateral growth capacity and the impact of age on arteriogenesis and should be useful models to investigate the molecular mechanisms responsible for such differences. 相似文献

This study examined the effects of human pregnancy on the central chemoreflex control of breathing. Subjects were two groups (n=11) of pregnant subjects (PG, gestational age, 36.5+/-0.4 wk) and nonpregnant control subjects (CG), equated for mean age, body height, prepregnant body mass, parity, and aerobic fitness. All subjects performed a hyperoxic CO2 rebreathing procedure, which includes prior hyperventilation and maintenance of iso-oxia. Resting blood gases and plasma progesterone and estradiol concentrations were measured. During rebreathing trials, end-tidal Pco2 increased, whereas end-tidal Po2 was maintained at a constant hyperoxic level. The point at which ventilation (Ve) began to rise as end-tidal Pco2 increased was identified as the central chemoreflex ventilatory recruitment threshold for CO2 (VRTco2). Ve levels below (basal Ve) and above (central chemoreflex sensitivity) the VRTco2 were determined. The VRTco2 was significantly lower in the PG vs. CG (40.5+/-0.8 vs. 45.8+/-1.6 Torr), and both basal Ve (14.8+/-1.1 vs. 9.3+/-1.6 l/min) and central chemoreflex sensitivity (5.07+/-0.74 vs. 3.16+/-0.29 l.min-1.Torr-1) were significantly higher in the PG vs. CG. Pooled data from the two groups showed significant correlations for resting arterial Pco2 with basal Ve, central chemoreflex sensitivity, and the VRTco2. The VRTco2 was also correlated with progesterone and estradiol concentrations. These data support the hypothesis that pregnancy decreases the threshold and increases the sensitivity of the central chemoreflex response to CO2. These changes may be due to the effects of gestational hormones on chemoreflex and/or nonchemoreflex drives to breathe. 相似文献

Previous studies have shown that the pineal glands of different stocks and strains of laboratory rats have different melatonin-forming capacities. In the present investigation a widely studied morphological parameter of the pineal, i.e. synaptic ribbon (SR) and synaptic spherule (SS) numbers, was explored in 6 different stocks and strains of laboratory rats, viz.:Han:WIST (albino), LEW/Han (albino), DA/Han (agouti), BN/Han (dark brown), LE/Han (black hooded) and (LEW x BN)/F1 (black with white belly). The rats were maintained under the usual laboratory conditions (lights on from 06.00-18.00 h) for 3 weeks and killed between 10.00-12.00 h, when they were 6 weeks old. The pineals were rapidly excised and processed for transmission electron microscopy. The morphology, distribution (in singles or groups, distant from, or near cell membrane etc.) and number of SR and SS per 20,000 microns2 area of pineal tissue were similar in all groups of rats studied. It is concluded that, in contrast to pineal gland size and melatonin synthesis, SR number is a fairly constant pineal parameter in different stocks and strains of laboratory rats and independent of pigmentation. 相似文献

The renal medullary thick ascending limb (mTAL) of the Dahl salt-sensitive (SS) rat is the site of enhanced NaCl reabsorption and excess superoxide production. In the present studies we isolated mitochondria from mTAL of SS and salt-resistant control strain SS.13(BN) rats on 0.4 and 8% salt diet for 7 days and performed a proteomic analysis. Purity of mTAL and mitochondria isolations exceeded 93.6 and 55%, respectively. Using LC/MS spectral analysis techniques we identified 96 mitochondrial proteins in four biological mTAL mitochondria samples, run in duplicate, as defined by proteins with a false discovery rate <5% and scan count ≥2. Seven of these 96 proteins, including IDH2, ACADM, SCOT, Hsp60, ATPA, EFTu, and VDAC2 were differentially expressed between the two rat strains. Oxygen consumption and high-resolution respirometry analyses showed that mTAL cells and the mitochondria in the outer medulla of SS rats fed high-salt diet exhibited lower rates of oxygen utilization compared with those from SS.13(BN) rats. These studies advance the conventional proteomic paradigm of focusing exclusively upon whole tissue homogenates to a focus upon a single cell type and specific subcellular organelle. The results reveal the importance of a largely unexplored role for deficiencies of mTAL mitochondrial metabolism and oxygen utilization in salt-induced hypertension and renal medullary oxidative stress. 相似文献

The present study examined the effect of transfer of portions of chromosome 1 that includes (FHH.1(BN) AR(+) strain) or excludes (control FHH.1(BN) AR(-) strain) a 4.3-Mb region from the Brown Norway (BN) rat that restores the autoregulation (AR) of renal blood flow (RBF) on the development of hypertension and renal injury in congenic strains of Fawn Hooded Hypertensive (FHH) rats. FHH and control AR(-) rats exhibited poor autoregulation of RBF, and glomerular capillary pressure (Pgc) rose by 19 ± 2 mmHg in FHH rats when renal perfusion pressure (RPP) was increased from 100 to 150 mmHg. In contrast, RBF was well autoregulated in the AR(+) strain, and Pgc only increased by 3 ± 1 mmHg when RPP was increased over this range. Baseline mean arterial pressure (MAP) at 12 wk of age was similar in all strains and averaged 122 mmHg. MAP increased significantly in FHH rats and was significantly higher by 12 mmHg in 21-wk-old FHH rats than in the FHH.1(BN) congenic strains. Protein excretion rose from 5 ± 1 to 397 ± 29 mg/day in 6- vs. 21-wk-old FHH rats. In contrast, protein excretion only increased to 139 ± 21 mg/day in the control AR(-) strain, and it did not increase significantly in the AR(+) strain. Glomerular permeability to albumin was similar in all strains at 6 wk of age. It increased significantly in 9-wk-old FHH and control AR(-) rats, but not in the AR(+) strain. The levels of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2 and transforming growth factor (TGF)-β2 protein were significantly higher in the renal cortex of 9-wk-old FHH rats compared with the levels seen in the AR(+) strain. These data indicate that transfer of a 4.3-Mb region of BN chromosome 1 into the FHH genetic background improves autoregulation of RBF, normalizes Pgc, and slows the progression of renal disease. 相似文献

Previous studies have indicated the importance of angiotensin II (ANG II) in skeletal muscle angiogenesis. The present study explored the effect of regulation of the renin gene on angiogenesis induced by electrical stimulation with the use of physiological, pharmacological, and genetic manipulations of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS). Transfer of the entire chromosome 13, containing the physiologically regulated renin gene, from the normotensive inbred Brown Norway (BN) rat into the background of an inbred substrain of the Dahl salt-sensitive (SS/Mcwi) rat restored renin levels and the angiogenic response after electrical stimulation. This restored response was significantly attenuated when SS-13(BN)/Mcwi consomic rats were treated with lisinopril or high-salt diet. The role of ANG II on this effect was confirmed by the complete restoration of skeletal muscle angiogenesis in SS/Mcwi rats infused with subpressor doses of ANG II. Congenic strains derived from the SS-13(BN)/Mcwi consomic were used to further verify the role of the renin gene in this response. Microvessel density was markedly increased after stimulation in congenic strains that contained the renin gene from the BN rat (congenic lines A and D). This angiogenic response was suppressed in control strains that carried regions of the BN genome just above (congenic line C) or just below (congenic line B) the renin gene. The present study emphasizes the importance of maintaining normal renin regulation as well as ANG II levels during the angiogenesis process with a combination of physiological, genetic, and pharmacological manipulation of the RAS. 相似文献
