안지오텐신II 수용체(AT1 수용체)는 혈관수축과 체내 전해질이온 조절에 중요한 역할을 한다. AT1 수용체 길항제(ARB)는 고혈압 치료에 이용되며 최근에는 당뇨병을 포함한 대사질환에 효능이 있음이 알려져 있다. 이 연구에서는 ARB 처리 후 세포 내 인산화단백질에 인산화가 일어나는지를 antibody array를 이용하여 실험하였다. 아미노산세린 및 트레오닌에 인산화되는 단백질 6개, 티로신에 인산화되는 단백질 12개에 대한 항체를 선정하여 nitrocellulose membrane에 부착시켰다. AT1 수용체를 발현한 COS-1 세포에 로사틴(losartan)을 처리하였을 때 small GTPase인 RhoA의 세린 잔기에 인산화가 20% 증가함을 관찰하였다. RhoA는 세포골격의 재배열에 중요한 역할을 하며 세린 잔기에 인산화가 되면 활성이 억제된다. 본 연구결과로부터 ARB가 AT1 수용체에 의한 혈관수축을 억제할 뿐만 아니라 새로운 세포 신호룰 생성함을 알 수 있다.

The role of neurohumoral mechanisms in the regulation of cardiovascular functions and the effects of ethanol (EOH) on these mechanisms were examined in hemorrhaged conscious Wistar rats. The rats were bled at a constant rate (2 ml/kg/min) through the femoral artery until mean arterial pressure (MAP) was reduced by 30 mmHg. We studied the responses to hemorrhage 1) under normal conditions (Normal), and after pretreatments with 2) neural blockade (NB), pentolinium, 3) arginine vasopressin V1-receptor antagonist (AVPX) + NB, 4) angiotensin II ATI-receptor antagonist (AngIIX) + NB, 5) combined humoral blockade (HB), and 6) neurohumoral blockade. Intravenous administration of 30% EOH (6.3 ml/kg) attenuated the baroreceptor reflex sensitivity, and enhanced the depressor action of AngIIX. During hemorrhage, NB produced a faster fall ill MAP than Normal both in the saline and EOH groups. However, HB accelerated the rate of fall in MAP only in the EOH group. The recovery from hemorrhagic hypotension was not different between NB and Normal rats, but was attenuated in HB rats in the saline group. Under NB, AngIIX, but not AVPX, retarded the recovery rate compared with NB alone. EOH attenuated the recovery of MAP after hemorrhage in Normal rats, but completely abolished the recovery in HB rats. We conclude that 1) the maintenance of MAP during hemorrhage is mediated almost entirely by the autonomic functions, 2) angiotensin II plays an important role in the recovery from hemorrhagic hypotension, but AVP assumes little importance, 3) AVP release largely depends on the changes in blood volume, whereas renin release depends on the changes in blood pressure rather than blood volume, and 4) EOH increases the dependence of cardiovascular regulation on angiotensin II and impairs the recovery from hemorrhagic hypotension through the attenuation of autonomic functions.

비펩타이드성 안지오텐신 수용체 길항제로 새롭게 개발된 KR-31081에 대한 생체 내 활성을 세가지 동물모델에서 검증하였다. 척수장애 동물모델에서 KR-31081은 로사탄보다 40배 이상의 경쟁적인 혈압강하 효과를 나타내었으며, 신성고혈압쥐 모델에서 KR-31081은 로사탄보다 10배 가량의 지속형 효과를 나타내었다. 또한 개실험에서 구강 투여한 KR-31081은 로사탄보다 20배 이상의 지속적인 혈압강하 효과를 나타내었다. 실험에 사용된 동물 모델 시스템에서 다른 혈관조절물질들과 상호작용을 하지 않는 것으로 나타난 KR-31081은 향후 고혈압 및 혈관질환에 대한 연구 및 진단에 활용될 수 있을 것이라고 판단된다.

It has been well known that peripheral infusion of angiotensin II results in an increase of blood pressure, and an elevation of aldosterone secretion, and an inhibition of renin relase. However, the direct effect of angiotensin II on renal function has not been clearly established. In the present study, to investigate the effect of angiotensin II on renal function and renin release, angiotensin II (0.3, 3 and 10 ng/kg/min) was infused into a unilateral renal artery of the unanesthetized rabbit and changes in renal function and active and inactive renin secretion rate (ARSR, IRSR) were measured. In addition, to determine the relationship between the renal effect of angiotensin II and adenosine, the angiotensin II effect was evaluated in the presence of simultaneously infused 8-phenyltheophylline (8-PT, 30 nmole/min), adenosine A 1 receptor antagonist. Angiotensin II infusion at dose less than 10 ng/kg/min decreased urine flow, clearances of para-amino-hippuric acid and creatinine, and urinary excretion of electrolytes in dose-dependent manner. The changes in urine flow and sodium excretion were significantly correlated with the change in renal hemodynamics. Infusion of angiotensin II at 10 ng/kg/min also decreased ARSR, but it has no significant effect on IRSR. The change in ARSR was inversely correlated with the change in IRSR. The plasma concentration of catecholamine was not altered by an intarenal infusion of angiotensin II. In the presence of 8-PT in the infusate, the effect of angiotensin II on renal function was significantly attenuated, but that on renin secretion was not modified. These results suggest that the reduction in urine flow and Na excretion during intrarenal infusion of angiotensin II was not due to direct inhibitions of renal tubular transport systems, but to alterations of renal hemodynamics which may partly be mediated by the adenosine receptor.

We experienced a case of severe intraoperative hyperkalemia during laparoscopic radical nephrectomy in a 60-year-old male patient with renal insufficiency, whose hypertension had been managed by preoperative angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) and adrenergic beta-antagonist. After renal vessel ligation, his intraoperative potassium concentration suddenly increased to 7.0 mEq/L, but his electrocardiography (ECG) did not show any significant change. While preoperative ARB therapy has been regarded as a contributing factor for further aggravation of underlying renal insufficiency, we assumed that nephrectomy itself and rhabdomyolysis caused by surgical trauma also aggravated the underlying renal dysfunction and resulted in sudden hyperkalemia. Hyperkalemia was managed successfully with calcium gluconate, insulin, furosemide and crystalloid loading during the intraoperative and immediate postoperative periods, and potassium concentration decreased to 5.0 mEq/L at 8 hours after the operation. The patient's hospital course was uncomplicated, but his renal function deteriorated further.

An overdose of antihypertensive agents, such calcium channel blockers (CCBs) and angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARBs), and the antihyperglycemic agent, metformin, leads to hypotension and lactic acidosis, respectively. A 40-year-old hypertensive and diabetic man with hyperlipidemia and a weight of 110 kg presented to the emergency room with vomiting, dizziness, and hypotension following an attempted drug overdose suicide with combined CCBs, ARBs, 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coemzyme A reductase inhibitors, and metformins. A conventional medical treatment initially administered proved ineffective. The treatment was then changed to simultaneous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT), which was effective. This shows that simultaneous ECMO and CRRT can be an effective treatment protocol in cases of ineffective conventional medical therapy for hypotension and lactic acidosis due to an overdose of antihypertensive agents and metformin, respectively.

선천성고혈압흰쥐 (SHR)에서 angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI)를 처치하면 내피세포 의존적 이완이 증진된다고 알려져 있다. 본 실험은 angiotensin II가 nitric oxide (NO)와 관련되어 일어나는 적출 대동맥의 이완력에 변화를 주는지 관찰하고자 angiotensin II 작용 억제를 위해 angiotensin II 수용체 차단제인 losartan과 ACEI인 enalapril을 사용하였으며 혈관에서의 NO는 혈관내피세포에서 생성되는 constitutive NO와 주로 혈관 평활근에서 LPS에 생성되는 inducible NO가 있으므로 이들 양자에 대한 angiotensin II의 작용을 검토하였다. 2주간 losartan (30 mg/kg/day)과 enalapril (10 mg/kg/day)을 처치한 경우 acetylcholine $(10^{-9}\;to\;10^{-5}\;M)$과 histamine $(10^{-8}\;to\;10^{-4}\;M)$에 의한 이완 반응이 증가되었으나 90분간 적출 대동맥에 losartan $(10^{-4}\;M)$ 을 노출시킨 경우는 이완 반응에 변화가 없었다. Phenylephrine $(10^{-7}\;M)$ 을 2시간 간격으로 반복 투여하여 수축시킨 경우 LPS $(100\;{\mu}g/ml)$처치에 의해 시간이 지남에 따라 수축력이 감소되었고 대조군에서는 수축력이 감소되지 않았다. LPS 처치에 따른 phenylephrine에 의한 수축력의 감소는 enalapril이나 losartan을 2주간 처치한 경우에도 영향을 받지 않았다. 이상의 결과로 미루어 아마도 losartan의 내피세포에 대한 작용은 constitutive NO 생성을 증가시키나 inducible NO 생성에는 영향을 미치지 않을 것으로 여겨진다.

Hypertension is a serious health problem due to high frequency and concomitant other diseases including cardiovascular and renal dysfunction. Olmesartan cilexetil is a new antihypertensive drug associated with angiotensin II receptor antagonist. This study was conducted to evaluate the mutagenicity of olmesartan cilexetil by bacterial reverse mutation test using Salmonella typhimurium (TA100, TA1535, TA98, and TA1537) and Escherichia coli (WP2 uvrA). At the concentrations of 0, 62, 185, 556, 1667, and 5000 ${\mu}g$/plate, olmesartan cilexetil was negative in both Salmonella typhimurium and Escherichia coli regardless of presence or absence of metabolic activation system (S9 mix). These results demonstrate that olmesartan cilexetil does not induce bacterial reverse mutation.
