Although the central role of angiotensin II (AngII) in cardiovascular homeostasis is well appreciated, the molecular circuitry of its many actions is incompletely understood. Using serial analysis of gene expression (SAGE) to assess global transcriptional changes in the heart of mice following continuous 7-day AngII administration, we identified patterns of gene expression indicative of cardiac remodeling, including coordinate regulation of genes previously described in a context of processes associated with hypertrophy and fibrosis. In addition, we discovered a number of novel AngII targets, including characterized genes of known function, recently annotated genes of unknown function, and the putative genes not yet present in current databases. The SAGE approach to assess the role of AngII presented in this report provides new venues for inquiries into AngII-mediated cardiac function.
