Abstract P192: Both Mineralocorticoid Receptor and Angiotensin II type 1 Receptors in the Subfornical Organ Mediate Angiotensin II Induced Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) in Brain Angiotensinergic Pathways
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Activation of angiotensinergic pathways and central aldosterone (aldo)-MR-ENaC-endogenous ouabain (EO)-AT 1 R pathway play a critical role in Ang II associated hypertension. The SFO contains both MR and AT 1 R and can relay the signals of circulating Ang II to downstream nuclei such as the PVN, SON and RVLM. We evaluated the effect of knockdown of MR and AT 1 R specific in the SFO on reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in downstream nuclei. Wistar rats were intra SFO infused with AAV-MR- or AT 1a R-siRNA and after 7 days received a sc infusion of Ang II at 500 ng/min/kg for 2 weeks. MR and AT 1 R expression were measured by real-time qPCR and western blotting. ROS was assessed by DHE staining. Ang II increased AT 1 R mRNA expression in the SFO. Both MR- and AT 1 R-siRNA in the SFO prevented this increase. Ang II decreased MR mRNA but increased protein expression in the SFO. Both MR- and AT 1 R-siRNA further decreased MR mRNA expression. Ang II significantly increased ROS in the SFO, magno- and parvocellular parts of the PVN, SON and RVLM. Both MR- and AT 1 R-siRNA in the SFO prevented ROS increases in the PVN and RVLM. In contrast, MR- but not AT 1 R-siRNA in the SFO prevented the Ang II-induced ROS in the SON. Both MR- and AT 1 R-siRNA in the SFO prevented most of the Ang II-induced hypertension. These results suggest that aldo-MR signaling in the SFO is needed for the activation of Ang II-AT 1 R signaling from the SFO to the PVN and RVLM. Considering that only MR-siRNA in the SFO prevents circulating Ang II induced ROS in the SON, activation of aldo-MR signaling from the SFO to the SON may via EO enhance AT 1 R dependent activation of pre-sympathetic neurons in the PVN, and thereby to Ang II-hypertension.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
