Abstract

The vasopressor octapeptide, angiotensin II (Ang II), exerts homeostatic responses in cardiovascular tissues, including the heart, blood vessel wall, adrenal cortex and liver (a major source of circulating plasma proteins). One of the effects of Ang II is to induce expression of regulatory, structural and cytokine genes that play important roles in long-term control of blood pressure, vascular remodeling, cardiac hypertrophy and inflammation. The identification of nuclear signaling pathways and target transcription factors has provide important insight into cellular responses and the spectrum of genes controlled by Ang II. Here we will review how Ang II activates the transcription factors, Activator Protein 1 (AP-1), Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription (STATs ), and Nuclear Factor-κB (NF-κB). NF-κB is of particular interest because it is an important mediator of resynthesis of the Ang II precursor, angiotensinogen AGT. Through this positive feedback loop, long-term changes in the activity of the renin angiotensin system occur. Although NF-κB is ubiquitously expressed, surprisingly the mechanism for Ang II-inducible NF-κB regulation differs between aortic smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) and hepatocytes. In VSMC, Ang II induces nuclear translocation of cytoplasmic transactivatory NF-κB proteins through proteolysis of its inhibitor, IkB. By contrast, in hepatocytes, Ang II induces large nuclear isoforms of NF-κB1 to bind DNA through a mechanism independent of changes in IkB turnover. NF-κB activation depends upon the activity of DAG-sensitive PKC isoforms and ROS signaling pathway. These observations indicate that significant differences exist in Ang II signaling depending upon cell-type involved and suggest the possibility that tissue-selective modulation of Ang II effects can be modulated in cardiac tissues.
