Striatin is a novel protein that interacts with steroid receptors and modifies rapid, non-genomic activity in vitro. We tested the hypothesis that striatin would in turn affect mineralocorticoid receptor function and consequently sodium, water, and blood pressure homeostasis in an animal model. We evaluated salt sensitivity of blood pressure in novel striatin heterozygote knockout mice. When compared with wild type, striatin heterozygote exhibited a significant increase in blood pressure when sodium intake was increased from restricted (0.03%) to liberal (1.6%) sodium). Further, renal expression of mineralocorticoid receptor and its genomic downstream targets serum/glucocoticoid-regulated kinase 1 and epithelial sodium channel were increased in striatin heterozygote versus wild type mice on liberal sodium intake while the pAkt/Akt ratio, readout of mineralocoriticoid receptor's rapid, non-genomic pathway, was reduced. To determine the potential clinical relevance of these findings, we tested the association between single nucleotide polymorphic variants of striatin gene and salt sensitivity of blood presure in 366 Caucasian hypertensive subjects. HapMap derived tagging single nucleotide polymorphisms identified an association between rs2540923 with salt sensitivity of blood pressure (OR, 6.25; 95% CI 1.7-20; P=0.01). These data provide the first in vivo evidence in humans and rodents that associates striatin with markers of mineralocoriticoid receptor activity. The data also support the hypothesis that the rapid, non-genomic mineralocoriticoid receptor pathway (mediated via striatin) has a role in modulating the interaction between salt intake and blood pressure.
