To determine distribution and function of cardiac angiotensin (ANG) II receptor AT(1) and AT(2) subtypes in left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy (LVH), ANG II (10(-8) M) was infused into isolated rat hearts with hypertrophy from aortic banding and into sham-operated controls. ANG II was infused alone or in the presence of ATL inhibitor [losartan (10(-5) M) or CL-329167 (10(-7) M)] or AT(2) inhibitor [CG-42112A (10(-8) M)]. ANG II alone caused less increase in coronary vascular resistance (CVR) in LVH compared with. control hearts (19 vs. 39%; P < 0.01), although baseline CVR was higher in LVH hearts. This was prevented by AT(1) but not AT(2) antagonists. ANG II also increased LV end-diastolic pressure in LVH hearts, signifying decreased diastolic relaxation that was prevented by AT(1) but not AT(2) inhibition. Characterization of ANG II binding sites in LV membrane preparations revealed similar dissociation constants between groups (1.6 +/- 0.95 vs. 2.2 +/- 2.0 nM; not significant) but lower maximum binding capacity in the LVH group (21.1 +/- 5.9 vs. 33.5 +/- 3.0 fmol/mg protein; P < 0.05). Competition assays demonstrated that control left ventricles contain predominantly the AT(1) subtype (68.8 +/- 20%), whereas LVH ventricles contain primarily the putative AT(2) subtype (59.8% +/- 10.8%; P < 0.05). This suggests that receptor subtype redistribution occurs in LVH with AT(1) subtype downregulation. Nonetheless, the AT(1) subtype mediates the effects of ANG II on coronary tone and diastolic dysfunction in pressure-overload hypertrophy.
