Haemorrhage increases the pressor effect of angiotensin-(1-7) but not of angiotensin II at the rat rostral ventrolateral medulla.

Abstract：

OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the effects of angiotensins acting at the rostral ventrolateral medulla (RVLM) on the cardiovascular adjustments following haemorrhage. DESIGN:Changes in mean arterial pressure (MAP) and heart rate (HR) produced by micro-injections of angiotensin II (Ang II) and angiotensin (Ang)-(1-7) and different angiotensin antagonists into the RVLM of anaesthetized rats submitted to haemorrhage, were determined. METHODS:Experiments were performed in 79 urethane-anaesthetized male Wistar rats. Ang-(1-7) (2.5 and 25 pmol), Ang II (25 pmol), [Sar1,Thr8]-Ang II (non-selective angiotensin antagonist, 0.2 nmol), A-779 (Ang-(1-7) antagonist, 0.1 nmol), losartan (AT1 Ang II receptor antagonist, 0.2 nmol) or vehicle (200 nl) were bilaterally micro-injected into the RVLM under basal conditions or 30 min after blood withdrawal (0.6 ml/100 g bodyweight). In additional groups, [Sar1,Thr8]-Ang II, A-779, losartan or vehicle were micro-injected into the RVLM 10 min before bleeding to uncover a possible role of endogenous peptides during haemorrhage. RESULTS:The pressor effect produced by Ang II micro-injection was not altered by haemorrhage. Conversely, haemorrhage significantly increased the magnitude and duration of the pressor effect of Ang-(1-7) at the RVLM. The fall in MAP induced by haemorrhage was similar after micro-injection of vehicle or A-779. However, micro-injection of [Sar1,Thr8]-Ang II significantly reduced the fall in MAP after haemorrhage. A similar finding was obtained with micro-injection of losartan. In addition, while RVLM micro-injection of [Sar1,Thr8]-Ang II or losartan 30 min after blood withdrawn produced MAP changes that were similar to that observed in control animals, micro-injection of A-779 did not significantly alter baseline MAP. CONCLUSIONS:These results suggest that changes in the RVLM reactivity to Ang-(1-7) but not Ang II may contribute to the haemodynamic adjustments triggered by acute reductions in blood volume. The data obtained with [Sar1,Thr8]-Ang II and losartan suggest a primary inhibitory role for endogenous Ang II at the RVLM during haemorrhage.
