RESUMEN

Introducción:

El polimorfismo del gen de la enzima convertidora de angiotensina I (ECA) determina mayor actividad de la ECA y mayores niveles de angioten-sina (Ang) II. Un polimorfismo similar ha sido descrito en humanos. La ECA2, a través de Ang-(1-9) más que Ang-(1-7), contrarresta los efectos deletéreos de Ang II. Se desconoce si el polimorfismo de la ECA frente a un estímulo hipertensivo modifica el eje ECA2/Ang-(1-9) y determina mayor remodelamiento de la pared aórtica de ratas hipertensas.

Objetivo:

Determinar el efecto del polimorfismo del gen de la ECA en la actividad del eje ECA2/Ang-(1-9) y su efecto en el remodelamiento de la pared aórtica secundaria a la hipertensión arterial (HTA) experimental.

Métodos:

Se usaron ratas macho homocigotas de 150 gr BN y LL. Se indujo HTA por el procedimiento Goldblatt (GB, 2 K-1clip). Ratas pseudo-operadas se usaron como controles (Sham). A las 6 semanas post cirugía se determinaron en la aorta las actividades de ECA y ECA2, los niveles de Ang II/Ang-(1-9), colágeno tipo I, células positivas para el marcador de inflamación ED-1, área y grosor de la túnica media (ATM, GTM).

Resultados:

El polimorfismo de la ECA con mayores niveles de ECA y Ang II determinó una mayor disminución de la actividad de ECA2, menores niveles de Ang-(1-9) y mayor remodelamiento de la pared aórtica tanto en animales normotensos como hipertensos.

Conclusión:

El polimorfismo de la ECA con mayor actividad de ECA y AngII determina una interregu-lación de los ejes ECA/AngII y ECA2/Ang-(1-9) lo que se asocia a mayor remodelamiento de la pared aórtica. Fondecyt 1100874.
ABSTRACT

background:

The angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) gene polymorphism determines increased ACE activity and angiotensin (Ang) II levels in Brown Norway rats (BN), compared to Lewis rats (LL). Similar polymorphism has been described in humans. ACE2 through Ang-(1-9) rather than Ang-(1-7) counteracts the deleterious effects of Ang II. It is unknown whether the ACE polymorphism counteracts the ECA2/Ang1-9 axis and determines increased remodeling of the aortic wall in hypertensive rats.

Objective:

To determine the effects of ACE gene polymorphism in the ECA2/Ang1-9 axis activity and its impact on the aortic wall remodeling secondary to hypertension (HT).

Methods:

Male homozygous rats BN and LL were used. Hypertension was induced by the Goldblatt procedure (GB, 2 K-1clip). Pseudo-operated rats were used as controls (Sham). At 6 weeks after surgery, we determined the body weight (BW) and systolic blood pressure (SBP). In aorta, we determined the ACE and ACE2 activities, Ang II/Ang1-9 levels, protein expression of collagen type I, positive cells for ED-1 inflammatory cells and medial thickness (MT) and area (MA) of aortic wall.

Results:

ACE polymorphism with higher levels of ACE and Ang II determined a significant decrease of ACE2 activity, Ang-(1-9) levels and aortic wall remodeling in normotensives and hypertensives rats.

Conclusion:

ACE polymorphism with increased ACE activity and AngII levels determines a significant inter-regulation between ACE/AngII and ACE2/Ang-(1-9) axis which is associated with increased remodeling of the aortic wall. Fondecyt 1100874.
