Abstract

The renin-angiotensin system plays a crucial role in the regulation of blood pressure. Activation of the angiotensin II (Ang II)-Ang II type 1 receptor (AT1R) signaling pathway contributes to the pathogenesis of hypertension and subsequent organ damage. AT1R-associated protein (ATRAP) has been identified as an endogenous inhibitory protein of the AT1R pathological activation. We have shown that mouse Atrap (Atrap) represses various Ang II-AT1R-mediated pathologies, including hypertension in mice. The expression of human ATRAP (ATRAP)/Atrap can be altered in various pathological states in humans and mice, such as Ang II stimulation and serum starvation. However, the regulatory mechanisms of ATRAP/Atrap are not yet fully elucidated. miRNAs are 21 to 23 nucleotides of small RNAs that post-transcriptionally repress gene expression. Single miRNA can act on hundreds of target mRNAs, and numerous miRNAs have been identified as the Ang II-AT1R signaling-associated disease phenotype modulator, but nothing is known about the regulation of ATRAP/Atrap. In the present study, we identified miR-125a-5p/miR-125b-5p as the evolutionarily conserved miRNAs that potentially act on ATRAP/Atrap mRNA. Further analysis revealed that miR-125a-5p/miR-125b-5p can directly repress both ATRAP and Atrap. In addition, the inhibition of miR-125a-5p/miR-125b-5p resulted in the suppression of the Ang II-AT1R signaling in mouse distal convoluted tubule cells. Taken together, miR-125a-5p/miR-125b-5p activates Ang II-AT1R signaling by the suppression of ATRAP/Atrap. Our results provide new insights into the potential approaches for achieving the organ-protective effects by the repression of the miR-125 family associated with the enhancement of ATRAP/Atrap expression.

摘要

肾素-血管紧张素系统在血压调节中起关键作用。血管紧张素II(Ang II)-血管紧张素II 1型受体(AT1R)信号通路的激活促成高血压的发病机制及随后的器官损伤。AT1R相关蛋白(ATRAP)已被确定为AT1R病理激活的内源性抑制蛋白。我们已经表明,小鼠Atrap可抑制多种Ang II-AT1R介导的病理变化,包括小鼠高血压。人ATRAP(ATRAP)/Atrap的表达在人和小鼠的各种病理状态下会发生改变,如Ang II刺激和血清饥饿。然而,ATRAP/Atrap的调控机制尚未完全阐明。微小RNA(miRNA)是21至23个核苷酸的小RNA,可在转录后抑制基因表达。单个miRNA可作用于数百个靶mRNA,并且许多miRNA已被确定为Ang II-AT1R信号相关疾病表型调节剂,但关于ATRAP/Atrap调控的情况尚不清楚。在本研究中,我们确定miR-125a-5p/miR-125b-5p为可能作用于ATRAP/Atrap mRNA的进化保守miRNA。进一步分析表明,miR-125a-5p/miR-125b-5p可直接抑制ATRAP和Atrap。此外,抑制miR-125a-5p/miR-125b-5p会导致小鼠远曲小管细胞中Ang II-AT1R信号的抑制。综上所述,miR-125a-5p/miR-125b-5p通过抑制ATRAP/Atrap激活Ang II-AT1R信号。我们的结果为通过抑制与增强ATRAP/Atrap表达相关的miR-125家族来实现器官保护作用的潜在方法提供了新见解。
