Angiotensin-dependent gene expression in the developing rat kidney.We aimed to identify genes involved in the growth effects of angiotensin II (Ang II) during kidney development. In rats treated from birth with the Ang II type-1 receptor blocker losartan, expression of transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1), platelet-derived growth factor B (PDGF-B), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and epidermal growth factor (EGF), as measured by Northern blot, did not change significantly (N= 4 to 6 per group each). Differential display methods, used to identify genes with Ang II-dependent expression, produced mostly false positives. We identified one novel rat partial cDNA, termed AD.5, that is related to a human orphan receptor. AD.5 was expressed in a developmentally regulated pattern and may be involved in kidney development and/or the trophic actions of Ang II.
