摘要


BACKGROUND:Fibroblasts are involved in the remodeling of the heart and of the vasculature associated to arterial hypertension, and an abnormal extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2) activation by angiotensin II (Ang II) plays a pivotal role in this process. However, the intracellular pathways leading to cell hypertrophy and hyperplasia, as well as to collagen production, are still incompletely known. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the role of superoxide anion (O2) and of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAD(P)H) oxidase in Ang II-stimulated ERK1/2 over-activation in fibroblasts from hypertensive patients. METHODS:O2 production was measured in skin fibroblasts from hypertensives (HT, n = 11) and from normotensive controls (NT, n = 10) by electron spin resonance technique. ERK1/2 phosphorylation and p47phox NAD(P)H oxidase subunit translocation were measured by western blot. RESULTS:Ang II (1 micromol/l) induced a larger p47phox subunit translocation and increased intracellular O2 production to a larger extent in HT in comparison to NT and this effect was blocked by apocynin, an inhibitor of the NAD(P)H oxidase. Ang II increased ERK1/2 phosphorylation more in HT than in NT. The Ang II-induced ERK1/2 phosphorylation was inhibited by apocynin in a dose-dependent manner in NT, but not in HT. CONCLUSIONS:The chain of cellular events leading to increased ERK1/2 responsiveness to Ang II in hypertension include an exaggerated response of p47phox, NAD(P)H oxidase and O2, but it is partially resistant to apocynin. Therefore, NAD(P)H-dependent reactive oxygen species production is not the only determinant of the exaggerated ERK1/2 responsiveness in fibroblasts of hypertensives (HT).
