摘要
Previous studies revealed that the brain angiotensinergic, vasopressinergic and nitrergic systems are involved in regulation of blood pressure and that their function is altered in various forms of hypertension. The purpose of our investigation was to determine whether expression of AT1a angiotensin receptors (AT1aR) mRNA, V1a vasopressin receptors (V1aR) mRNA and neuronal nitric oxide synthase (NOS1) mRNA is altered in the brain of rats with the renovascular hypertension. Eight male Sprague Dawley (SD 2K,1C) rats were subjected to constriction of the left renal artery in order to produce the renovascular hypertension whereas nine SD rats underwent the sham surgery. In both groups blood pressure was determined before and after the surgery. Four weeks after the surgery the brain fragments were harvested for determination of mRNA expression. Competitive PCR method was applied for relative quantitative analysis of V1A mRNA, AT1A mRNA and NOS1 mRNA in the preoptic, diencephalic, mesencephalopontine, medullary and cerebellar fragments of the brain. Blood pressure was significantly higher in the 2K,1C than in the sham operated rats. In the preoptic, mesencephalopontine and medullary regions AT1aR mRNA expression was significantly lower in the 2K, I C rats than in the sham operated rats. The 2K,1C rats manifested also significantly higher expression of V1A mRNA and NOS1 mRNA in the preoptic brain region in comparison to the sham operated rats. The study provides evidence for significant changes of expression of AT1aR mRNA, V1aR mRNA and NOS1 mRNA in the specific brain regions of rats with the renovascular hypertension.
