BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Angiotensin II (Ang II), whose generation largely depends
on angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) activity, mediates most of the
renin-angiotensin-system (RAS) effects. Elastase-2 (ELA-2), a chymotrypsin-serine
protease elastase family member 2A, alternatively generates Ang II in rat
arteries. Myocardial infarction (MI) leads to intense RAS activation, but
mechanisms involved in Ang II-generation in resistance arteries are unknown. We
hypothesized that ELA-2 contributes to vascular Ang II generation and cardiac
damage in mice subjected to MI. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH: Concentration-effect
curves to Ang I and Ang II were performed in mesenteric resistance arteries from
male wild type (WT) and ELA-2 knockout (ELA-2KO) mice subjected to left anterior
descending coronary artery ligation (MI). KEY RESULTS: MI size was similar in WT
and ELA-2KO mice. Ejection fraction and fractional shortening after MI similarly
decreased in both strains. However, MI decreased stroke volume and cardiac output
in WT, but not in ELA-2KO mice. Ang I-induced contractions increased in WT mice
subjected to MI (MI-WT) compared with sham-WT mice. No differences were observed
in Ang I reactivity between arteries from ELA-2KO and ELA-2KO subjected to MI
(MI-ELA-2KO). Ang I contractions increased in arteries from MI-WT versus
MI-ELA-2KO mice. Chymostatin attenuated Ang I-induced vascular contractions in WT
mice, but did not affect Ang I responses in ELA-2KO arteries. CONCLUSIONS AND
IMPLICATIONS: These results provide the first evidence that ELA-2 contributes to
increased Ang II formation in resistance arteries and modulates cardiac function
after MI, implicating ELA-2 as a key player in ACE-independent dysregulation of
the RAS.
