BACKGROUND: This study examined the vasoprotective role of circulating
angiotensin II (ANG II) levels in the cerebral circulation of high salt (HS)-fed
(SS.BN-(D13hmgc41-13hmgc23)/Mcwi) (Ren1-BN) congenic rats, which carry a normally
functioning renin allele from the Brown Norway (BN) rat on the Dahl
salt-sensitive genetic background. METHODS: Ren1-BN rats were placed on an HS
(4.0% NaCl) diet for 3 days. The vasodilator response to acetylcholine (ACh;
10(-10) - 10(-6) mol/L) was assessed in isolated middle cerebral arteries (MCAs),
and Western blots were performed to assess the expression of the antioxidant
enzymes copper (Cu)/zinc (Zn) superoxide dismutase (SOD) and manganese (Mn) SOD
in cerebral resistance vessels. A separate group of HS-fed animals were infused
with either a subpressor dose of ANG II (100ng/kg/min) or saline vehicle via
osmotic minipump for 3 days. RESULTS: HS diet eliminated acetylcholine
(ACh)-induced dilation in the MCAs of the congenic rats. Western blot analysis of
antioxidant enzymes showed that Cu/Zn SOD and Mn SOD expression were
significantly reduced in the cerebral resistance arteries of the HS-fed rats
compared with control animals fed a normal salt diet. Infusion of ANG II restored
the vasodilator response to ACh in the MCAs and increased Cu/Zn SOD (but not Mn
SOD) expression compared with saline-infused animals. CONCLUSIONS: These results
indicate that prevention of salt-induced ANG II suppression prevents vascular
dysfunction in the cerebral circulation by preventing the downregulation of Cu/Zn
SOD and vascular oxidant stress that normally occurs with HS diet.
