摘要: Angiotensin (Ang) AT1 receptors and Ang-converting enzymes (ACE ACE2) are expressed in the dorsal vagal complex (DVC) of brainstem. The aim this study was to examine vivo interactions between brainstem Ang receptors, ACE ACE2 using small, hairpin RNA (shRNA) gene-silencing methods. takes advantage bilateral expression renin–angiotensin system (RAS) markers. Adenovirus vectors (Ad, 2.0 × 109 c.f.u. ml−1, 200 nl) carrying interference small for either AngAT1a (Ad-AT1a-shRNA) or AngAT1b (Ad-AT1b-shRNA) were microinjected into right side DVC. Ad-LacZ control injected left side. Brainstems processed with situ hybridization immunochemistry. Results showed that: (1) Ad-AT1a-shRNA downregulated AT1a mRNA by 61.2 ± 6.8% (P < 0.01) Ad-AT1b-shRNA AT1b 51.6 5.2% 0.01); (2) downregulation associated decreased (decrease 29.0 14.5%, P 0.01), while reduction Ad-AT1b had no effect; (3) not altered (RNAi) treatment; (4) immunochemical staining agreement changes observed. These results demonstrate utility gene silencing functional specificity. Both induced site- subtype-specific receptor expression. Gene that there RAS regulatory enzyme, ACE2.
