Generation of transgenic mice with elevated blood pressure by introduction of the rat renin and angiotensinogen genes.

Abstract:

:The role of the renin-angiotensin system in blood pressure control and in the development of hypertension was investigated by generating transgenic mice carrying the rat renin or angiotensinogen gene or both genes under the control of the mouse metallothionein I promoter. The systolic blood pressure was significantly elevated in transgenic mice carrying both transgenes but was maintained normally in those bearing either of the transgenes. The transgene was effectively and properly transcribed to form the mature mRNA in the transgenic mice. The production of rat renin and angiotensinogen in the transgenic mice carrying the corresponding transgene was also verified by immunoanalyses of these proteins. Furthermore, the specific angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor captopril was effective in reducing the elevated blood pressure of the hypertensive transgenic mice. These results indicate that the combined action of the exogenous rat renin and angiotensinogen is responsible and necessary for elevation of blood pressure in the hypertensive transgenic mice.
