项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The renin angiotensin system (RAS) has a central role in cardiovascular homeostasis and development of renal, vascular, and cardiac pathologies. The effects of angiotensin II (Ang II) are primarily mediated by binding to AT1 receptor in an endocrine and/or autocrine/paracrine manner. We and others have recently identified a novel, intracrine or intracellular, mode of Ang II-mediated actions that do not require Ang II-AT1 interaction. We reported that cardiac myocytes synthesize high levels of Ang II intracellularly, which redistributes to cytoplasm and nucleus, without affecting extracellular levels, in high glucose conditions. Intracellular Ang II (iAng II) synthesis in high glucose conditions is chymase, not angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) dependent. Intracellular synthesis of Ang II is completely blocked by a renin inhibitor. We have also observed activation of the intracellular RAS in cardiac fibroblasts. Significantly, iAng II levels, cardiac myocyte apoptosis, oxidative stress, and cardiac fibrosis are markedly increased in the heart of diabetic rats, which are normalized by renin inhibition, not by ACE or AT1 inhibition. These observations suggest a significant role of iAng II in diabetic cardiomyopathy, with the implications that AT1 receptor antagonists and ACE inhibitors would be ineffective in blocking iAng II effects. The cellular mechanisms that lead to intracellular expression of RAS components and Ang II synthesis, in high glucose conditions, and the mechanism of iAng II actions are not known. We have reported that iAng II causes cardiac hypertrophy; however, the relative significance of iAng II versus extracellular Ang II in pathophysiological conditions is not known. In this proposal, we will test the hypothesis that metabolic changes, induced by high glucose, result in intracellular synthesis of Ang II, which has a significant role in development of diabetic cardiomyopathy, through interaction with novel intracellular proteins. We will use cardiac myocytes and fibroblasts, both neonatal and adult, to identify hyperglycemia-induced cellular events, such as the hexosamine biosynthesis pathway, protein O-glycosylation and oxidative stress, on regulation of the intracellular RAS, by pharmacological and genetic approaches. We will identify and characterize novel iAng II interacting proteins, using affinity binding and mass spectrometry approaches. AT1 receptor deficient mice will be utilized to determine the specific role of iAng II in diabetic cardiac dysfunction. The proposed studies will identify novel mechanisms of Ang II actions in the heart and provide for new strategies in clinical interventions for diabetic cardiomyopathy. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: This research will focus on the development of novel strategies for the treatment of patients with diabetes. Blockade of the intracellular renin-angiotensin system, may provide substantial benefit for the prevention/treatment of diabetic cardiomyopathy, compared to standard therapy with angiotensin receptor blockers and angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors.

描述（由申请方提供）：肾素血管紧张素系统（RAS）在心血管稳态和肾脏、血管和心脏病变的发展中起核心作用。血管紧张素II（angiotensin II，Ang II）的作用主要是通过内分泌和/或自分泌/旁分泌方式与AT 1受体结合而介导的。我们和其他人最近发现了一种新的，内分泌或细胞内，模式的血管紧张素II介导的行动，不需要血管紧张素II-AT 1的相互作用。我们报道了在高糖条件下，心肌细胞在细胞内合成高水平的血管紧张素II，其重新分布到细胞质和细胞核，而不影响细胞外水平。高糖条件下细胞内血管紧张素II（iAng II）的合成是糜酶，而不是血管紧张素转换酶（ACE）依赖性的。血管紧张素II的细胞内合成被一种肾素抑制剂完全阻断。我们还观察到心脏成纤维细胞内RAS的激活。值得注意的是，iAng II水平，心肌细胞凋亡，氧化应激和心脏纤维化在糖尿病大鼠的心脏中显著增加，其通过肾素抑制而不是ACE或AT 1抑制正常化。这些观察结果表明iAng II在糖尿病性心肌病中的重要作用，这意味着AT 1受体拮抗剂和ACE抑制剂在阻断iAng II作用方面无效。在高糖条件下导致RAS组分的细胞内表达和Ang II合成的细胞机制以及iAng II作用的机制尚不清楚。我们已经报道了iAng II导致心脏肥大;然而，在病理生理条件下iAng II与细胞外Ang II的相对意义尚不清楚。在这个建议中，我们将测试的假设，代谢的变化，诱导高糖，导致细胞内合成的血管紧张素II，这在糖尿病心肌病的发展中具有重要作用，通过与新的细胞内蛋白质的相互作用。我们将使用新生儿和成人的心肌细胞和成纤维细胞，通过药理学和遗传学方法来鉴定高血糖诱导的细胞事件，例如己糖胺生物合成途径、蛋白质O-糖基化和氧化应激对细胞内RAS的调节。我们将确定和表征新的iAng II相互作用蛋白，使用亲和结合和质谱方法。AT 1受体缺陷小鼠将用于确定iAng II在糖尿病性心脏功能障碍中的具体作用。这些研究将确定血管紧张素II在心脏中作用的新机制，并为糖尿病心肌病的临床干预提供新的策略。公共卫生相关性：这项研究将重点关注糖尿病患者治疗新策略的开发。与血管紧张素受体阻滞剂和血管紧张素转换酶抑制剂的标准治疗相比，细胞内肾素-血管紧张素系统的阻滞可能为预防/治疗糖尿病性心肌病提供实质性益处。
