Abstract/OtherAbstract:
A chronic increase in the concentration of sodium in the CSF (↑ CSF [Na]) may be critically important for the development of salt-dependent hypertension. In agreement with this concept, increasing CSF [Na] chronically by intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.) infusion of Na-rich artificial CSF (aCSF-HiNa) in rats produces hypertension by the same brain sytems as that produced by dietary sodium in salt-sensitive strains. We first demonstrate here that i.c.v. aCSF-HiNa for 10 days also causes hypertension in wild-type (WT) mice. We then use both WT and gene-targeted mice to explore the mechanisms. In WT mice with a ouabain-sensitive α2 Na, K-ATPase (α2(S/S)), mean arterial pressure (MAP) rose by ~25 mm Hg within 3 days of starting aCSF-HiNa and remained elevated throughout the study. Ouabain given i.c.v. increased blood pressure to a similar extent. aCSF-HiNa or ouabain given at the same rates s.c. instead of i.c.v. had no effect on blood pressure. The pressor response to i.c.v. aCSF-HiNa was abolished by an anti-ouabain antibody given i.c.v. but not s.c., indicating that it is mediated by an endogenous ouabain-like substance (OLS) in the brain. We compared the effects of i.c.v. aCSF-HiNa or i.c.v. ouabain on blood pressure in α2(S/S) vs. knockout/knockin mice with a ouabain-resistant endogenous α2 subunit (α2(R/R)).In α2(R/R), there was no pressor response to i.c.v. aCSF-HiNa. The α2(R/R) genotype also lacked a pressor response to i.c.v. ouabain. These data demonstrate that chronically ↑ CSF [Na] causes hypertension in mice and that the blood pressure response is mediated by the OLS in the brain, specifically by its binding to the α2 isoform of the Na, K-ATPase.
