Project description:Attempt to identify genes whose expression changed in the kidney cortex with angiotensin converting enzyme inhibition. Eleven week-old male C57BL6 mice were treated with captopril at 10mg/kg/day in drinking water for 7 days. The kidney cortex was surgically excised and total RNA was isolated using Trizol (Invitrogen) from three treated and three control mice and was further purified using RNeasy MinElute Cleanup spin columns (Qiagen) according to manufacturer’s instructions. Probes generated from the resulting RNA were hybridized to Illumina Expression BeadChips (mouseWG-6_V2).

Project description:Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) is known for converting inactive angiotensin I into the potent vasoconstrictor angiotensin II, playing a critical role in blood pressure regulation. However, there is evidence that the dicarboxypeptidase activity of ACE is also essential for other physiological processes likely through processing of various peptide substrates. This study used mass spectrometry for the comprehensive detection and identification of natural substrates and products of ACE within the mouse plasma peptidome. The plasma peptidome of ACE KO mice was obtained through a multi-step purification process which included organic TCA precipitation as well as size exclusion and reversed phase chromatography. The obtained complex mixture of endogenous peptides was then subjected to in vitro cleavage by ACE. ACE-treated and untreated samples were then analyzed by LC/MS on an Orbitrap mass spectrometer, followed by alignment of MS1 data by Progenesis QI software. The MS1 signals that gained or lost intensity after treatment with ACE, were considered as possible products and substrates of ACE, respectively, and were selected for a targeted MS/MS analysis, and subsequently identified with PEAKS 8.5 and Proteome Discoverer software. Results. Close to 250 natural peptides were identified as possible substrates and products of ACE, demonstrating the high promiscuity of the enzyme. The use of internal standards as well as detection of some expected endogenous peptides, such as angiotensin II and bradykinin, supported the validity of the approach. Some of the newly identified substrates of ACE are known for their biological activities. For example, a fragment of complement C3, the 17-amino acid peptide C3f, exhibits spasminogenic activity and was processed by ACE. ACE cleavage of select peptides was further confirmed in vitro. Also, concentrations of ACE substrates in plasma from mice with variant genetic ACE domain backgrounds were determined by LC/MS using multiple reaction monitoring on a triple quadrupole mass spectrometer. The in vivo results were consistent with the in vitro results, in the sense that higher levels of the ACE substrates were observed when the respective processing domain was knocked out. The use of transgenic mice as well as ACE with single active domain allowed clarifying the ACE domain selectivity towards individual peptide substrates. This study resulted in creation of a library of substrates and products of ACE that can be further tested for their biological function and can help to elucidate the link between ACE and the numerous physiological effects attributed to its activity.

Project description:Renin-angiotensin system (RAS) inhibition reduces stroke and improves brain capillary integrity in stroke prone spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRSP). We tested the hypothesis that treatment with an angiotensin II receptor subtype 1 (AT1R) antagonist has different effects, compared to an angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor, on gene expression in blood-brain barrier (BBB) capillaries. Six weeks old SHRSP were treated with either olmesartan (4 mg/kg, n=20), lisinopril (6 mg/kg , n=20) or remained untreated (n=20). Blood pressure was controlled by tail-cuff measurement. After 5 weeks the animals were sacrificed and cerebral capillaries were isolated. mRNA was extracted and analyzed with rat GeneChip DNA arrays. Additionally, brain histology and monocyte/macrophage infiltrates were determined. Both treatments similarly reduced neurological signs of stroke, stroke mortality, and monocyte/macrophage infiltration, compared to controls. Blood pressure was not influenced significantly by both drugs. We found 42 transcripts that were regulated by both treatments in the same manner. These genes were mostly related to inflammation. We also observed 39 differentially expressed genes between the two treatment groups that typically contribute to cell growth and differentiation. This study demonstrates that, despite similar effects on cerebral pathology and outcome, ACE inhibition and AT1R blockade have distinct molecular effects on gene expression in BBB capillaries.

Project description:Treatment with angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI) or angiotensin receptor blockers (ARB) has been shown to have anti-inflammatory effects such as decreased growth factors and cytokines in animal models, this effect however, has not been investigated in kidney transplant recipients. We aimed to study the effect of ACEI or ARB treatment on intragraft gene expression profiles of transplant kidney biopsies using microarrays. Both groups had similar demographic characteristics in terms of age, race, sex, type of transplant, previous history of transplantation or acute rejection, panel reactive antibody levels, and immunosuppressive treatment. There were no differences in acute and chronic Banff allograft injury scores between the 2 Groups. Intragraft gene expression profiles of ACEI or ARB treated Group 2 biopsies showed decreased gene transcripts of interferon-gamma and rejection-associated transcripts (GRIT) and constitutive macrophage-associated transcripts (CMAT) compared to Group 1 biopsies. There were no statistically significant differences in expression of cytotoxic T cell (CAT), regulatory T cell (TREG), B-cell (BAT), natural killer cell (NKAT), or endothelial cell-associated transcripts (ENDAT) between the 2 Groups. Our data suggest that exposure to ACEI or ARB was associated with down-regulation of GRIT and CMAT. This anti-inflammatory effect of ACEI or ARB treatment could be an additional benefit in kidney transplant recipients.

This anti-inflammatory effect of ACEI or ARB treatment could be an additional benefit in kidney transplant recipients. We identified 29 near normal biopsies with chronic sum allograft injury score (ct+ci+cv) ⤠3 for gene expression profiling comparing 2 groups; Group 1 (n=16), patients with no exposure of ACEI or ARB treatment and Group 2 patients (n=13) with exposure to ACEI or ARB at least 6 months prior to kidney biopsy. Biopsies with a diagnosis of acute or chronic rejection, recurrent or de novo glomerular disease, or polyoma nephropathy were excluded.

Project description:Evolution of glomerulonephritis (GN) to tubulointerstitial disease is a universal antecedent to the development of chronic kidney disease (CKD). There is also evidence that angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibition may attenuate the development of CKD in some forms of glomerulonephritis. We tested the role of ACE inhibition in a model of GN in which complement-dependent tubulointerstitial disease develops. GN was induced in C57BL/6 mice with intraperitoneal injections of horse spleen apoferritin (HSA) using lipopolysaccharide (LPS) as an adjuvant. Four groups of six animals were studied: saline-injected control mice treated with captopril or water, and GN mice treated with captopril or water. GN developed in all HSA-treated animals. In those receiving captopril, however, proteinuria (albumin/creatinine ratio) was significantly reduced by captopril treatment. Array screening was used to examined the expression of collagen-related genes and determine if these effects could be mediated by regulation of collagen genes. Six genes were identified for further analysis by quantitative RT-PCR. This model demonstrates that tubulointerstitial disease can be attenuated by ACE inhibition, with clinical, histologic, and gene expression measures.

This model demonstrates that tubulointerstitial disease can be attenuated by ACE inhibition, with clinical, histologic, and gene expression measures. All protocols were approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee at SUNY Upstate Medical University. We employed four groups of six mice each: saline-injected control mice with and without captopril, and GN with and without captopril. C57BL/6 mice were purchased from The Jackson Laboratories (Bar Harbor, ME). Glomerulonephritis (GN) was induced by intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection of 10 mg of apoferritin from horse spleen (HSA, Sigma, St. Louis, MO) five days per week, with i.p. injection of 100 micrograms lipopolysaccharide (LPS, from Salmonella minnesota; EMD Biosciences, La Jolla, CA), as adjuvant, three times per week. Control animals received equal volumes of 0.15 M NaCl by i.p. injection. Injections were begun when the mice were approximately eight weeks of age and were continued for six weeks. Captopril, at 100 mg/kg/day was given in the drinking water. After 9 weeks, the animals were euthanized and kidneys were removed for RNA purification and analysis.
