conferenceObject IMPACT OF ANGIOTENSIN CONVERTING ENZYME (ACE) GENE LEVELS ON BAROREFLEX IMPAIRMENT AND SYMPATHETIC HYPERACTIVITY AFTER A HIGH FRUCTOSE DIET(2017) MORAES-SILVA, Ivana C.; SOUZA, Leandro E. de; CASARINI, Dulce E.; IRIGOYEN, Maria-Claudia- Interval and continuous aerobic exercise training similarly increase cardiac function and autonomic modulation in infarcted mice (vol 13, pg 257, 2017)(2017) ABAD, Cesar Cavinato Cal; NASCIMENTO, Ademir Manuel do; SOUZA, Leandro Eziquiel de; FIGUEROA, Diego; RAMONA, Pamella; SARTORI, Michele; SCAPINI, Katia B.; ALBUQUERQUE, Oscar; MORAES-SILVA, Ivana Cinthya; COELHO-JUNIOR, Helio Jose; RODRIGUES, Bruno; MOSTARDA, Cristiano Teixeira; ANGELIS, Katia De; IRIGOYEN, Maria Claudia
- Acute renal denervation normalizes aortic function and decreases blood pressure in spontaneously hypertensive rats(2020) MOREIRA, Nathalia Juocys Dias; SANTOS, Fernando dos; MOREIRA, Edson Dias; FARAH, Daniela; SOUZA, Leandro Eziquiel de; SILVA, Maikon Barbosa da; MORAES-SILVA, Ivana Cinthya; LINCEVICIUS, Gisele Silverio; CALDINI, Elia Garcia; IRIGOYEN, Maria Claudia CostaMechanisms involved in the acute responses to renal denervation (RDN) have yet to be fully understood. We assessed urinary volume, autonomic control and aorta vascular reactivity after acute RDN. Male normotensive Wistar rats and spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) were divided into normotensive+RDN (ND) or sham surgery (NS), and hypertensive+RDN (HD) or sham surgery (HS). Metabolic parameters and hemodynamic measurements were recorded 72h and 4 days after intervention, respectively. Aortic rings were studied 7 days post RDN in an isometric myograph. Concentration-response curves to phenylephrine, sodium nitroprusside and acetylcholine (10(-10)-10(-5) M) were performed. Two-way ANOVA was used for group comparisons and differences reported when p < 0.05. Results are presented as mean +/- SEM. Urinary volume was 112% higher in HD vs. HS (HS=14.94 +/- 2.5 mL; HD=31.69 +/- 2.2 mL) and remained unchanged in normotensive rats. Systolic BP was lower in HD rats (HS=201 +/- 12 vs. HD=172 +/- 3 mmHg) without changes in normotensive group. HD group showed increased HF and LF modulation (HS=5.8 +/- 0.7 ms(2) vs. HD=13.4 +/- 1.4 ms(2); HS=3.5 +/- 0.7 ms(2) vs. HD=10.5 +/- 1.7 ms(2), respectively). RDN normalized vascular reactivity in HD rats and increased phenylephrine response in ND rats. Acute fall in BP induced by RDN is associated with increased urinary volume, which in turn may also have contributed to functional changes of the aorta.
- (Pro)renin receptor expression in myocardial infarction in transgenic mice expressing rat tonin(2018) RIBEIRO, Amanda A.; AMORIM, Rebeca Padrao; PALOMINO, Zaira J.; LIMA, Mercia de Paula; MORAES-SILVA, Ivana Cinthya; SOUZA, Leandro Ezequiel; PESQUERO, Jorge Luiz; IRIGOYEN, Maria Claudia; CASARINI, Dulce E.The (pro)renin receptor [(P)RR] has been implicated as a renin/prorenin receptor, and plays a role in local renin angiotensin system activation. Our goal was to investigate whether a transgenic mouse that expresses rat tonin [TGM'(rTon)] can regulate (P)RR mRNA levels. Control (C) and TGM'(rTon) animals were subdivided into the C sham, C MI, TGM'(rTon) sham, and TGM'(rTon) MI groups. The levels of tonin, (P)RR, and renin were determined using RT-PCR mRNA. Tonin activity as determined by RIE was significantly increased in the TGM'(rTon) sham group as compared to the C sham group in the atrium (AT) and right ventricle (RV), respectively. In most mice, tonin mRNA levels were significantly reduced compared to those in the TGM'(rTon) sham group in the atria. In this structure, the (P)RR mRNA levels were statistically significantly reduced in the TGM'(rTon) sham and TGM'(rTon) MI groups compared to the control groups. However, the (P)RR mRNA values were significantly increased when we compared the TGM'(rTon) MI vs TGM'(rTon) sham groups. In the RV, the renin mRNA levels in the TGM'(rTon) sham group were significantly reduced compared to the C sham group. Tonin overexpression may act in the regulation of (P)RR mRNA levels during MI.
conferenceObject Simvastatin improves cardiovascular sympathetic modulation and endothelial function of resistance arteries from hypercholesterolemic mice(2012) MORAES-SILVA, Ivana C.; SOUZA, L. E.; ROSSONI, L. V.; IRIGOYEN, M. C.Can simvastatin treatment (S) alter sympathetic cardiovascular control and mesenteric resistance arteries (MRA) relaxation of LDL receptor knock out (L) mice? Male L mice were treated with S (2 mg/kg, i.p., 7 days) or vehicle. C67Bl/6 mice were used as control (C). Total cholesterol (TC), blood pressure (BP) and autonomic modulation were analyzed. MRA rings were studied in an isometric myograph. Concentration-response curves to Ach (0.01nM-30μM) were obtained in rings incubated for 30 min with L-NAME (100 μM), a NOS inhibitor, tetraethylammonium (TEA; 5mM), a K+ channel blocker, or with vehicle. TC was 3x higher and BP was increased (systolic:30%, diastolic:7%) in L vs. C whereas S had no effect. Cardiac autonomic balance, which was 3x higher, and sympathetic modulation to the vessels, 5x higher in L vs. C, were significantly reduced in L+S (17 and 57%, respectively). MRA % of relaxation to Ach was impaired in L (37±2%) vs. C (92±5%) while S restored it to 70±6%. In C MRA, L-NAME and TEA inhibited Ach-induced relaxation in 46±8% and 74±5%, respectively (p<0.05 L-NAME vs. TEA). This inhibition was ~90±2% in L for both drugs (p<0.05 vs. C); while S shifted it to 70±7% of relaxation inhibition (p<0.05 vs. C and L). S partially restored MRA endothelial function in L mainly by modulating NO concomitantly with an improved autonomic cardiovascular control even without changes in systemic BP and lipid levels.
