| Abstract | The present study tested the hypothesis that intracellular ANG II directly induces transcriptional effects by stimulating AT(1a) receptors in the nucleus of rat renal cortical cells. Intact nuclei were freshly isolated from the rat renal cortex, and transcriptional responses to ANG II were studied using in vitro RNA transcription assays and semiquantitative RT-PCR. High-power phase-contrast micrographs showed that isolated nuclei were encircled by an intact nuclear envelope and stained strongly by the DNA marker 4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole, but not by the membrane or endosomal markers. Fluorescein isothiocyanate-labeled ANG II and [(125)I]Val(5)-ANG II binding confirmed the presence of ANG II receptors in the nuclei with a predominance of AT(1) receptors. RT-PCR showed that AT(1a) mRNA expression was threefold greater than AT(1b) receptor mRNAs in these nuclei. In freshly isolated nuclei, ANG II increased in vitro [alpha-(32)P]CTP incorporation in a concentration-dependent manner, and the effect was confirmed by autoradiography and RNA electrophoresis. ANG II markedly increased in vitro transcription of mRNAs for transforming growth factor-beta1 by 143% (P < 0.01), macrophage chemoattractant protein-1 by 89% (P < 0.01), and the sodium and hydrogen exchanger-3 by 110% (P < 0.01). These transcriptional effects of ANG II on the nuclei were completely blocked by the AT(1) receptor antagonist losartan (P < 0.01). By contrast, ANG II had no effects on transcription of angiotensinogen and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase mRNAs. Because these transcriptional effects of ANG II in isolated nuclei were induced by ANG II in the absence of cell surface receptor-mediated signaling and completely blocked by losartan, we concluded that ANG II may directly stimulate nuclear AT(1a) receptors to induce transcriptional responses that are associated with tubular epithelial sodium transport, cellular growth and hypertrophy, and proinflammatory cytokines. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
