We have previously documented that central Angiotensin type 2 receptors (AT2R) negatively modulate sympathetic outflow and arterial blood pressure (BP). In the current study, we determined the effects of intracerebroventricular (icv) infusion of Compound 21 (C21), the first selective non-peptide AT2R agonist, on norepinephrine (NE) excretion and BP in rats. C21 was icv infused by a Micro-osmotic pump for 7 days. Urinary NE concentration was measured using the Norepinephrine Enzyme Immunoassay kit. BP was recorded by radiotelemetry. After 7 days, the rats were euthanized and three sympathetic relevant brain regions and cerebral cortex were micro-punched to measure nNOS protein expression by Western Blot. In addition, the influence of C21 on neuronal potassium current (IKv) was determined by whole cell patch-clamp in a neuron cell-line, CATH.a. (1) icv treatment of C21 significantly decreased NE concentration and amount in nighttime urine but had no effect in daytime urine. (2) C21 treated rats exhibited a slight but significant decrease in BP. (3) The effects of C21 on NE excretion and BP were abolished by AT2R antagonist, PD123319, and nitric oxide synthase (NOS) inhibitor, L-NAME. (4) C21 treatment significantly up regulated nNOS expression in the PVN and RVLM, but not in the NTS and cerebral cortex. (5) In CATH.a neurons, C21 treatment significantly increased IKv, which was completely abolished by PD123319 and L-NAME. These results demonstrate a central inhibitory influence of C21 on sympathetic outflow via a nNOS dependent mechanism, which might be mediated by facilitating neuronal potassium channel.
