MiR-125a-5p/miR-125b-5p contributes to pathological activation of angiotensin II-AT1R in mouse distal convoluted tubule cells by the suppression of Atrap.


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.
