Studies suggest that arteriolar pressure-induced vasoconstriction can be initiated by G protein-coupled receptors, including the angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT1R). This raises the question, are such mechanisms regulated by negative feedback? The present studies examined whether regulators of G-protein signaling proteins (RGS) in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) are co-localized with the AT1R when activated by mechanical stress or angiotensin II (Ang II) and if this modulates AT1R-mediated vasoconstriction. To determine if activation of the AT1R recruits RGS5, an in situ proximity ligation assay (PLA) was performed in primary cultures of cremaster muscle arteriolar VSMCs treated with Ang II or hypotonic solution in the absence or presence of candesartan (an AT1R blocker). PLA results revealed a concentration-dependent increase in trafficking/translocation of RGS5 towards the activated AT1R, which was attenuated by candesartan. In intact arterioles, knockdown of RGS5 enhanced constriction to Ang II and augmented myogenic responses to increased intraluminal pressure. Myogenic constriction was attenuated to a higher degree by candesartan in RGS5 siRNA-transfected arterioles, consistent with RGS5 contributing to down regulation of AT1R-mediated signaling. Further, translocation of RGS5 was impaired in VSMCs of spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). This is consistent with dysregulated (RGS5-mediated) AT1R signaling that could contribute to excessive vasoconstriction in hypertension. In intact vessels, candesartan reduced myogenic vasoconstriction to a greater extent in SHR compared to controls. Collectively, these findings suggest that AT1R activation results in translocation of RGS5 towards the plasma membrane, limiting AT1R-mediated vasoconstriction through its role in Gq/11 protein-dependent signaling.
