Background/Aims: Angiotensin II (AngII) type 1 receptor (AT(1)R) could be activated by mechanical stress without the involvement of AngII during the development of cardiac hypertrophy. We aimed to identify sensing sites of AT(1)R for activation by mechanical stretch. Methods: We constructed several site-directed mutations of AT(1)R (AT(1)R(K199Q), AT(1)R(L212F), AT(1)R(Q257A) and AT(1)R(C289A)), transfected them respectively into COS7 cells or angiotensinogen knockout cardiomyocytes (ATG(-/-)-CMs), and observed cellular events after mechanical stretch. Results: AngII-induced phosphorylation of ERKs and Jak2, and redistribution of G alpha q11 in AT(1)R(WT)-COS7 or -ATG(-/-)-CMs were dramatically decreased in AT(1)R(K199Q)- or AT(1)R(Q257A)- COS7 cells or -ATG(-/-)-CMs, while those effects induced by mechanical stretch were greatly suppressed in COS7 cells or ATG(-/-)-CMs expressing AT(1)R(L212F), AT(1)R(Q257A) or AT(1)R(C289A) compared with these cells expressing AT(1)R(WT). AngII-induced hypertrophic responses (the increase in hypertrophic genes expression and cross-sectional area) in AT(1)R(WT)-ATG(-/-)-CMs were partly abolished in AT(1)R(K199Q)-ATG(-/-)-CMs or AT(1)R(Q257A)-ATG(-/-)-CMs, while these responses induced by mechanical stretch were greatly inhibited in ATG(-/-)-CMs overexpressing AT(1)R (L212F), AT(1)R(Q257A) or AT(1)R(C289A). Conclusion: These results indicated that Leu212, GIn257 and Cys289 in AT(1)R are not only sensing sites for mechanical stretch but also functional amino residues for activation of the receptor and cardiomyocytes hypertrophy induced by mechanical stretch.
