Autonomic and endocrine profiles of chronic hypertension and heart failure
resemble those of acute dehydration. Importantly, all of these conditions are
associated with exaggerated sympathetic nerve activity (SNA) driven by
glutamatergic activation of the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN). Here,
studies sought to gain insight into mechanisms of disease by determining the role
of PVN ionotropic glutamate receptors in supporting SNA and mean arterial
pressure (MAP) during dehydration and by elucidating mechanisms regulating
receptor activity. Blockade of PVN N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors reduced
(P < 0.01) renal SNA and MAP in urethane-chloralose-anesthetized dehydrated (DH)
(48 h water deprivation) rats, but had no effect in euhydrated (EH) controls.
Blockade of PVN ?-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA)
receptors had no effect in either group. NMDA in PVN caused dose-dependent
increases of renal SNA and MAP in both groups, but the maximum agonist evoked
response (Emax) of the renal SNA response was greater (P < 0.05) in DH rats. The
latter was not explained by increased PVN expression of NMDA receptor NR1 subunit
protein, increased PVN neuronal excitability, or decreased brain water content.
Interestingly, PVN injection of the pan-specific excitatory amino acid
transporter (EAAT) inhibitor DL-threo-?-benzyloxyaspartic acid produced smaller
sympathoexcitatory and pressor responses in DH rats, which was associated with
reduced glial expression of EAAT2 in PVN. Like chronic hypertension and heart
failure, dehydration increases excitatory NMDA receptor tone in PVN. Reduced
glial-mediated glutamate uptake was identified as a key contributing factor.
Defective glutamate uptake in PVN could therefore be an important, but as yet
unexplored, mechanism driving sympathetic hyperactivity in chronic cardiovascular
diseases.
