Background Salt status plays a pivotal role in angiotensin-II-induced organ damage by regulating reactive oxygen species status, and it is reported that reactive oxygen species activate mineralocorticoid receptors. Method To clarify the role of reactive oxygen species-related mineralocorticoid receptor activation in angiotensin-II-induced cardiac dysfunction, we examined the effect of the following: salt status; an MR antagonist, eplerenone; and an antioxidant, tempol in angiotensin-II-loaded Sprague–Dawley rats. Results Angiotensin-II/salt-loading elevated blood pressure, and neither eplerenone nor tempol antagonized the rise in blood pressure significantly. Left ventricular diastolic function was monitored by measuring peak velocity of a mitral early inflow (E), the ratio of mitral early inflow to atrial contraction related flow (E/A), deceleration time of mitral early inflow and −dP/dt, the time constant (T), and filling pressure (left ventricular end-diastolic pressure) by echocardiography or cardiac catheterization. Despite the suppressed serum aldosterone, left ventricular diastolic function was deteriorated with angiotensin II/high salt, but not affected by angiotensin II/low salt. However, angiotensin-II/salt-induced cardiac dysfunction was restored by eplerenone and tempol. Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphateoxidase-derived superoxide formation was greater in the hearts of the angiotensin II/high-salt rats than of the angiotensin II/low-salt rats. The expression of the Na+–H+ exchanger isoform 1, a target of mineralocorticoid receptor activation, was significantly increased in the angiotensin II/high-salt group. Both tempol and eplerenone inhibited the angiotensin-II/salt-induced upregulation of Na+–H+ exchanger isoform 1. Conclusion These findings demonstrate that mineralocorticoid receptor activation by oxidative stress can cause left ventricular diastolic dysfunction in a rat model of mild hypertension.
