Renin-angiotensin system involvement in pressure-overload cardiac hypertrophy in rats

We have recently shown that the octapeptide angiotensin II is a potent stimulus of protein synthesis and growth in cultured cardiomyocytes. The present study was performed to determine if the renin-angiotensin system was involved in regulating cardiac cell growth in vivo. The pressure-overload cardiac hypertrophy model that develops in abdominal aorta-constricted rats was studied. At 7 and 15 days after abdominal aorta constriction, rats developed significant left ventricular hypertrophy. The increase in left ventricular mass was completely prevented in animals fed the angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor, enalapril maleate (0.2 mg/ml) in their drinking water. Cardiac afterload was the same in both groups of animals in that carotid artery pressures were not different in conscious awake aortic-constricted animals receiving and not receiving enalapril. These data suggest a direct growth effect of angiotensin II on the left ventricle and indicate a role for the renin-angiotensin system in the cardiac hypertrophy that develops in response to pressure overload. The presence and chamber localization of angiotensinogen mRNA was determined using Northern hybridization and S1 nuclease mapping analysis. Angiotensinogen mRNA, as determined by dot-blot hybridization analysis, was significantly increased in hypertrophied left ventricles at both 7 and 15 days after the surgery, when compared with sham-operated controls. The activity of the circulating renin-angiotensin system, as indexed by plasma renin activity was increased at 1 day following surgery [6.0 +/- 2.0 ng.ml-1.h-1 angiotensin I (control) vs. 41.8 +/- 10.9 ng.ml-1.h-1 angiotensin I (experimental)], but returned to control values by day 3 postoperatively.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
