Renal actions of RGS2 control blood pressure.
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) have key roles in cardiovascular regulation and are important targets for the treatment of hypertension. GTPase-activating proteins, such as RGS2, modulate downstream signaling by GPCRs. RGS2 displays regulatory selectivity for the Gαq subclass of G proteins, and mice lacking RGS2 develop hypertension through incompletely understood mechanisms. Using total bo...
متن کاملNO-dependent blood pressure regulation in RGS2-deficient mice.
The regulator of G protein signaling (RGS) 2, a GTPase-activating protein, is activated via the nitric oxide (NO)-cGMP pathway and thereby may influence blood pressure regulation. To test that notion, we measured mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) and heart rate (HR) with telemetry in N(omega)-nitro-l-arginine methyl ester (l-NAME, 5 mg l-NAME/10 ml tap water)-treated RGS2-deficient (RGS2(-/-))...
متن کاملDoes angiotensin receptor recycling regulate blood pressure?
For more than a century, the renin–angiotensin system (RAS) has been recognized as an important part of the physiological system that regulates sodium and water homeostasis, renal function, and systemic blood pressure. The RAS consists of an enzyme/substrate cascade generating angiotensin II (Ang II). Initially the RAS was considered an endocrine system. By activating cellular receptors, circul...
متن کاملAutonomic nervous system and blood pressure regulation in RGS2-deficient mice.
Regulator of G protein signaling (RGS2) deletion in mice prolongs signaling by G protein-coupled vasoconstrictor receptors and increases blood pressure. However, the exact mechanism of the increase in blood pressure is unknown. To address this question we tested autonomic nervous system function and blood pressure regulation in RGS2-deficient mice (RGS2-/-). We measured arterial blood pressure ...
متن کاملThe Microbiome and Blood Pressure: Can Microbes Regulate Our Blood Pressure?
The surfaces of the human body are heavily populated by a highly diverse microbial ecosystem termed the microbiota. The largest and richest among these highly heterogeneous populations of microbes is the gut microbiota. The collection of microbes and their genes, called the microbiome, has been studied intensely through the past few years using novel metagenomics, metatranscriptomics, and metab...
