| Abstract | The human angiotensinogen (hAGT) gene has polymorphisms in its 2.5-kb promoter that form two haplotype (Hap) blocks: -6A/G (-1670A/G, -1562C/T, and -1561T/C) and -217A/G (-532T/C, -793A/G, -1074T/C, and -1178G/A). Hap -6A/-217A is associated with human hypertension, whereas Hap -6G/-217G reduces cardiovascular risk. Hap -6A/-217A has increased promoter activity with enhanced transcription factor binding, including to the glucocorticoid receptor (GR). Glucocorticoid therapy frequently causes hypertension, the mechanisms for which are incompletely understood. We have engineered double transgenic (TG) mice containing the human renin gene with either Hap of the hAGT gene and examined the physiological significance of glucocorticoid-mediated allele-specific regulation of the hAGT gene. We have also studied the consequential effects on the renin angiotensin system and blood pressure. TG mice with Hap -6A and -6G were treated with and without a low dose of a GR agonist, dexamethasone (2.5 µg/ml), for 72 h. We found greater chromatin-GR binding with increased GR agonist-induced hAGT expression in liver and renal tissues of Hap -6A mice. Additionally, dexamethasone treatment increased circulating hAGT and angiotensin II levels in Hap -6A mice, as compared with -6G mice. Importantly, GR agonist significantly increased blood pressure and redox markers in TG mice with Hap-6A of the hAGT gene. Taken together, our results show, for the first time, that glucocorticoids affect hAGT expression in a haplotype-dependent fashion with SNPs in Hap -6A favoring agonist-induced GR binding. This leads to increased expression of the hAGT, up-regulation of the renin angiotensin system, and increased blood pressure and oxidative stress in Hap -6A mice. |

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.
