BACKGROUND: The kidney is easily affected by aging-associated changes, including
glomerulosclerosis, tubular atrophy, and interstitial fibrosis. Particularly,
renal tubulointerstitial fibrosis is a final common pathway in most forms of
progressive renal disease. Angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT1R)-associated
protein (ATRAP), which was originally identified as a molecule that binds to
AT1R, is highly expressed in the kidney. Previously, we have shown that ATRAP
suppresses hyperactivation of AT1R signaling, but does not affect physiological
AT1R signaling. METHODS AND RESULTS: We hypothesized that ATRAP has a novel
functional role in the physiological age-degenerative process, independent of
modulation of AT1R signaling. ATRAP-knockout mice were used to study the
functional involvement of ATRAP in the aging. ATRAP-knockout mice exhibit a
normal age-associated appearance without any evident alterations in physiological
parameters, including blood pressure and cardiovascular and metabolic phenotypes.
However, in ATRAP-knockout mice compared with wild-type mice, the following takes
place: (1) age-associated renal function decline and tubulointerstitial fibrosis
are more enhanced; (2) renal tubular mitochondrial abnormalities and subsequent
increases in the production of reactive oxygen species are more advanced; and (3)
life span is 18.4% shorter (median life span, 100.4 versus 123.1 weeks). As a key
mechanism, age-related pathological changes in the kidney of ATRAP-knockout mice
correlated with decreased expression of the prosurvival gene, Sirtuin1. On the
other hand, chronic angiotensin II infusion did not affect renal sirtuin1
expression in wild-type mice. CONCLUSIONS: These results indicate that ATRAP
plays an important role in inhibiting kidney aging, possibly through
sirtuin1-mediated mechanism independent of blocking AT1R signaling, and further
protecting normal life span.
