Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effects of angiotensinⅡ (AngⅡ) on the Apelin mRNA and APJ mRNA expression in pulmonary microvascular endothelial ceils (PMVECs) in rats. Methods Pulmonary microvascular endothelial ceils obtained from 24 h old neonatal SD rats were cultured in DMEM liquid culture medium. The 2nd-4th generation PMVECs were inoculated on 6-well plates (5×105). The experiment was performed in two parts. In part Ⅰ different concentration of AngⅡ 0, 10-9, 10-8, 10-7, 10-6mol/L (group Ⅰ- Ⅴ) were added into the PMVECs. The expression of Apelin mRNA and APJ mRNA was determined at 24 h after addition of Ang Ⅱ by RT-PCR. In part Ⅱ the cells were exposed to 10-7 mol/L Ang Ⅱ. The expression of Apelin mRNA and APJ mRNA was determined immediately and at 1, 6, 12, 24, 48 h(group Ⅰ-Ⅵ) after addition of Ang Ⅱ by RT-PCR. Results In part Ⅰ Apelin mRNA expression was significantly higher in group Ⅱ (Ang Ⅱ 10-9 mol/L) but lower in group Ⅲ-Ⅴ (AngⅡ 10-8, 10-7, 10-6 mol/L) than in group Ⅰ (control, Ang Ⅱ 0 mol/L). The APJ mRNA expression was significantly lowered in group Ⅱ-Ⅴ in a dose-dependent manner as compared with control group (group Ⅰ). In partⅡ beth Apelin mRNA and APJ mRNA expression exhibited a bi-phasic response to AngⅡ 10-7 mol/L, increased at first and was then decreasing with time. The Apelin mRNA and APJ mRNA expression reached the peak at 1 h of incubation with Ang Ⅱ respectively. Conclusion Ang Ⅱ decreases both Apelin mRNA and APJ mRNA expression in PMVECs in a dose and time dependent manner. The down-regulation of Apelin mRNA and APJ mRNA expression may be involved in the mechanism of injury to PMVECs.
