摘要
The present study examined the effects of acute and chronic neurogenic stressors on the expression of two distinct angiotensin receptors in two stress-related brain nuclei: angiotensin type 1A receptor in the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus and angiotensin type 2 receptor in the nucleus locus coeruleus. Male Wistar rats were divided into four experimental groups. The first two groups were subjected once to an acute 90-min immobilization or air-jet stress session, respectively. The other two groups were subjected to 10 days of daily 90-min immobilization sessions and, on the 11th day, one group was exposed to an additional 90-min immobilization and the other to a single air-jet stress (heterotypic but still neurogenic) session. In each group, rats were perfused before stress (0 min), immediately following stress (90 min) or 150, 180, 270 or 360 min land 24 h in chronic immobilization after the beginning of the last stress session. Basal expression of both angiotensin receptor subtype 1A and angiotensin receptor subtype 2 messenger RNA was minimal in non-stressed animals. Acute immobilization as well as air-jet stress induced similar patterns (time-course and maximal values) of angiotensin receptor subtype 1A messenger RNA expression in the paraventricular nucleus. Angiotensin receptor subtype 1A messenger RNA expression increased 90-150 min after the beginning of the stress and returned to basal levels by 360 min. Chronic stress immobilization slightly modified the pattern, but not maximal values of angiotensin receptor subtype 1A messenger RNA expression to further immobilization (homotypic) or air-jet stress (heterotypic). Acute immobilization and air-jet stress sessions induced similar locus coeruleus-specific angiotensin receptor subtype 2 messenger RNA expression. This expression increased 90 min following the onset of the stress session and remained elevated for at least 360 min. Chronic immobilization stress increased angiotensin receptor subtype 2 messenger RNA expression to levels comparable to those observed in acute stress conditions. Novel acute exposure to neurogenic stressors did not further increase these levels in either homotypic (immobilization) or in heterotypic (air-jet stress) conditions. These results suggest that central angiotensin receptors are targets of regulation in stress; therefore, stress may modulate angiotensin function in the paraventricular nucleus and locus coeruleus during chronic exposure to neurogenic stressors.
