Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is characterized by cardiovascular irregularities, including hypertension. Dopamine, a circulating hormone, is implicated in essential hypertension in humans and animal models. Vascular endothelial primary cilia are known to function as mechano-sensory organelles. Though both primary cilia and dopamine receptors play important roles in vascular hypertension, their relationship has never been explored. To determine the roles of the dopaminergic system and mechanosensory cilia, we studied the effects of dopamine on ciliary length and function in wild-type (WT) and mechano-insensitive polycystic mutant cells (Pkd1−/− and Tg737orpk/orpk). We show for the first time that mouse vascular endothelia exhibit dopamine receptor-type 5 (DR5), which co-localizes to primary cilia in cultured cells and mouse arteries in vivo. DR5 activation increases cilia length in arteries and endothelial cells through cofilin and actin polymerization. DR5-activation also restores cilia function in the mutant cells. In addition, silencing DR5 completely abolishes mechano-ciliary function in WT cells. We find that DR5 plays very important roles in ciliary length and function. Furthermore, the chemosensory function of cilia can alter the mechanosensory function through changes in sensitivity to fluid-shear stress. We propose that activated ciliary DR5 has a functional mechanosensory role in endothelial cells.
