DESCRIPTION (provided by the applicant): Hypertension is the most prevalent disease in the western world and is a major cause of stroke, renal failure and myocardial infarction. In patients as well as in animal models of hypertension an increased thickness of the smooth muscle cell layer of arterioles is common. Because thickened walls of resistance vessels may act as a vascular amplifier to raise blood pressure, factors that regulate the growth of micro-vessels may contribute to the development of hypertension. Angiotensin II (ang II) is a multifunctional peptide that plays a fundamental role in physiological processes controlling blood pressure and in pathological mechanisms underlying vascular disease. There is evidence, that ang II effects on the vasculature involve other growth factors. IGF I act at the S phase of the cell cycle, it is a critical regulator of cell growth and indeed IGF I acting via its receptor (IGF IR) has a central role in modulating vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) proliferation. Ang 11 infusion increases IGF IR expression and smooth muscle cell replication in rat mesenteric resistance arteries. The long-term goal of this project is to determine the role of IGF IIIGF IR system in ang 11-induced VSMC growth in hypertension triggered resistance artery remodeling. The specific aims of this proposal are:1. To document that ang II upregulates IGF IR in a pressor-independent mechanism in mesenteric arteries and to examine if upregulated IGF IR is associated with smooth muscle cell proliferation in vivo.2. To determine if a signaling pathway involving Ras, RacI and NADPH oxidase generates ROS that activate SGK and NF-KB leading to increased IGF JR transcription and VSMC proliferation.3. To demonstrate that increased expression of IGF JR leads to p27 down-regulation, up-regulation of cdk4 and cyclin DI and cell cycle progression in response to ang II.4. To demonstrate that ang II-induced proliferation of VSMC is blunted by a null mutation of the IGF IR in the vasculature.Our results should have important practical consequences for the development of therapies to modulate vascular remodeling in hypertension

描述（由申请人提供）：高血压是西方世界最普遍的疾病，是中风、肾衰竭和心肌梗死的主要原因。在高血压患者和动物模型中，小动脉平滑肌细胞层厚度增加是常见的。由于阻力血管壁增厚可作为血管扩张器使血压升高，调节微血管生长的因素可能有助于高血压的发生。血管紧张素II （angii）是一种多功能肽，在控制血压的生理过程和血管疾病的病理机制中起着重要作用。有证据表明，任何对血管系统的影响都涉及其他生长因子。IGF I在细胞周期的S期起作用，它是细胞生长的关键调节剂，事实上，IGF I通过其受体（IGF IR）在调节血管平滑肌细胞（VSMC）增殖中起核心作用。ang11输注增加大鼠肠系膜抵抗动脉IGF - IR表达和平滑肌细胞复制。该项目的长期目标是确定IGF IIIGF - IR系统在ang11诱导的高血压引发的抵抗性动脉重构中VSMC生长中的作用。本建议的具体目的是：1。为了证明angii在肠系膜动脉中以不依赖于压力的机制上调IGF - IR，并研究IGF - IR上调是否与体内平滑肌细胞增殖有关。2 .确定涉及Ras， RacI和NADPH氧化酶的信号通路是否产生ROS，激活SGK和NF-KB，导致IGF JR转录增加和VSMC增殖。为了证明IGF JR的表达增加导致p27下调，cdk4和cyclin DI上调以及细胞周期的进展，以响应angii。为了证明angii诱导的VSMC增殖被血管中IGF - IR的零突变所钝化。我们的结果应该对高血压血管重塑治疗的发展具有重要的实际意义
