Abstract
Occlusion of the cerebral arteries leads to stroke and its consequence brain edema which further increases the brain damage. The aim of this research was clarifying the possible mechanisms of action of natriuretic peptides on bradykinin signaling, and their interactive effects after ischemic brain injury, since bradykinin is involved in the formation of cerebral edema and natriuretic peptides decrease brain edema via still unknown manner. HEK-293 cells were used as a model since using RT-PCR we proved the existence of bradykinin receptors type 1 and 2, guanylyl cyclase A and B, and natriuretic receptor type C. Measuring membrane potentials and intercellular calcium concentrations in HEK-293 cells we showed that natriuretic peptides, guanylyl cyclase A agonists (atrial natriuretic peptide, brain natriuretic peptide, urodilatin), excluding the guanylil cyclase B (C-type natriuretic peptide) inhibited the bradykinin signaling pathway after activation of bradykinin receptor type 2. The in vivo experiments on the animal model showed that urodilatin inhibited the formation of the ischemic lesion and brain edema which was measured by neurological scoring, visualization with microcomputerized tomography, serial Nissl stained sections and brain water content. The results of this research show for the first time the existence of a natural antagonist of the bradykinin type 2 receptor, and the possible use of natriuretic peptides in treatment of stroke.
Abstract in Croatian
Začepljenje moždanih arterija dovodi do moždanog udara te posljedično do moždanog edema koji pridonosi povećanju ishemijske ozljede. Kako je bradikinin izravni uzročnik moždanog edema te natriuretski peptidi smanjuju moždani edem nakon moždanog udara još uvijek nepoznatim mehanizmom, cilj ovog istraživanja bio je razjasniti mogući mehanizam djelovanja natriuretskih peptida na signalni sustav bradikinina te učinak njihovog međudjelovanja na događaje koji slijede nakon ishemijske ozljede mozga. HEK-293 stanice su korištene kao stanični model jer smo pokazali, koristeći RT-PCR, postojanje bradikininskih receptora tipa 1 i 2, gvanilat ciklaze A i B te natriuretskog receptora tipa C. Mjerenjem membranskih potencijala i unutarstanične koncentracije kalcija HEK-293 stanica pokazali smo da natriuretski peptidi, agonisti gvanilat ciklaze-A (atrijski natriuretski peptid, moždani natriuretski peptid, urodilatin), ali ne i gunailat ciklaze-B (C-tip natriuretski peptid) inhibiraju bradikininski signalni put nakon aktivacije njegovog receptora tipa 2. U in vivo pokusima na mišjem modelu moždanog udara pokazali smo da i.v. primjena urodilatina sprječava nastanak ishemijske lezije mozga te posljedičnog moždanog edema koje smo određivali mjerenjem stupnja neurološkog oštećenja, oslikavanjem mozgova mikrokompjuteriziranom tomografijom, serijskim rezovima mozgova histološki bojenim po Nisslu te određivanjem sadržaja vode u mozgu. Rezultati ovog istraživanja po prvi puta pokazuju postojanje prirodnog antagonista bradikininskog receptora tipa 2 te moguću primjenu natriuretskih peptida u liječenju moždanog udara.
