Delayed onset of cardiovascular disease among females is not well understood, but could be in part due to the protective effect of estrogen before menopause. Experimental studies have identified the angiotensin type 1 receptor (AT1R) as a key factor in the progression of CVD. In this study, we examined the effects of the estrogen metabolite, 2-methoxyestradiol (2ME2), on AT1R expression. Rat liver cells were exposed to 2ME2 for 24 h and angiotensin II (AngII) binding and AT1R mRNA expressions were assessed. In the presence of 2ME2, cells exhibited significant down-regulation of AngII binding in a dose and time dependent manner, independent of estrogen receptors (ERα/ERβ). Down-regulation of AngII binding was AT1R specific with no change in receptor affinity. Under similar conditions, we observed lower expression of AT1R mRNA, significant inhibition of AngII mediated increase in intracellular Ca2+, and increased phosphorylation of ERK1/2. Pretreatment of cells with the MEK inhibitor PD98059 prevented 2ME2 induced ERK1/2 phosphorylation and down-regulation of AT1R expression, suggesting that the observed inhibitory effect is mediated through ERK1/2 signaling intermediate(s). Similar analyses in stably transfected CHO cell lines with a constitutively active cytomegalovirus (CMV) promoter showed no change in AT1R expression suggesting that 2ME2 mediated effects are through transcriptional regulation. The effect of 2ME2 on AT1R down-regulation through ERK1/2 were consistently reproduced in primary rat aortic smooth muscle cells. As AT1R plays a critical role in the control of cardiovascular diseases, 2ME2-induced changes in receptor expression may provide beneficial effects to the cardiovascular as well as other systems.
