Water Ingestion

Angiotensin II exerts a potent dypsogenic stimulus on the hypothalamus, which contributes to its centrally mediated participation in the control of water balance and blood pressure. Repetitive intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.) injections of angiotensin II lead to a loss of effect characterized as physiological desensitization to the peptide's action. In the present study, we demonstrate that angiotensin II induces the expression of suppressor of cytokine signaling (SOCS)-3 via angiotensin receptor 1 (AT1) and JAK-2, mostly located at the median preoptic lateral and anterodorsal preoptic nuclei. SOCS-3 produces an inhibitory effect upon the signal transduction pathways of several cytokines and hormones that employ members of the JAK/STAT families as intermediaries. The partial inhibition of SOCS-3 translation by antisense oligonucleotide was sufficient to significantly reduce the refractoriness of repetitive i.c.v. angiotensin II injections, as evaluated by water ingestion. Thus, by acting through AT1 on the hypothalamus, angiotensin II induces the expression of SOCS-3 which, in turn, blocks further activation of the pathway and consequently leads to desensitization to angiotensin II stimuli concerning its dypsogenic effect.

A stable Chinese hamster ovary fibroblast line expressing the rat vascular type 1a angiotensin II (ANG II) receptor was used to study the lipid-derived signal transduction pathways elicited by type 1a ANG II receptor activation. ANG II caused a biphasic and dose-dependent increase in diacylglycerol (DAG) accumulation with an initial peak at 15 s (181 +/- 11% of control, P < 0.02) and a second sustained peak at 5-10 min (214 +/- 10% of control, P < 0.02). The late DAG peak was derived from phosphatidylcholine (PC), and the formation was blocked by ethylene glycol-bis(beta-aminoethyl ether)-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid. ANG II also increased phosphatidic acid (PA) production nearly fourfold by 7.5 min. In the presence of ethanol, ANG II markedly increased phosphatidylethanol (PEt) formation, indicating activation of phospholipase D (PLD). ANG II was shown to increase the mass of three separate PA species, one of which apparently originated from DAG kinase action on PC-phospholipase C (PLC)-produced DAG, providing evidence for PC-PLC activity. ANG II also formed a third PA species, which originated neither from PLD nor from DAG kinase. These results demonstrate that multiple lipid signals propagated via collateral stimulation of PLC and PLD are generated by specific activation of the vascular type 1a ANG II receptor.

Angiotensin II (Ang II) exerts a potent growth stimulus on the heart and vascular wall. Activation of the Janus kinase/signal transducer and activator of transcription (JAK/STAT) intracellular signaling pathway by Ang II mediates at least some of the mitogenic responses to this hormone. In other signaling systems that use the JAK/STAT pathway, proteins of the suppressor of cytokine signaling (SOCS) family participate in signal regulation. In the present study it is demonstrated that SOCS3 is constitutively expressed at a low level in rat heart and neonatal rat ventricular myocytes. Ang II at a physiological concentration enhances the expression of SOCS3 mRNA and protein, mainly via AT1 receptors. After induction, SOCS3 associates with JAK2 and impairs further activation of the JAK2/STAT1 pathway. Pretreatment of rats with a specific phosphorthioate antisense oligonucleotide to SOCS3, reverses the desensitization to angiotensin signaling, as detected by a fall in c-Jun expression after repetitive infusions of the hormone. Thus, SOCS3 is induced by Ang II in rat heart and neonatal rat ventricular myocytes and participates in the modulation of the signal generated by this hormone.

Abstract IL-1 plays a major role in inflammation and autoimmunity through activation of nuclear factor κ B (NFκB) and MAPKs. Although a great deal is known about the mechanism of activation of NFκB and MAPKs by IL-1, much less is known about the down-regulation of this pathway. Suppressor of cytokine signaling (SOCS)-3 was shown to inhibit IL-1-induced transcription and activation of NFκB and the MAPKs JNK and p38, but the mechanism is unknown. We show here that SOCS-3 inhibits NFκB-dependent transcription induced by overexpression of the upstream IL-1 signaling molecules MyD88, IL-1R-activated kinase 1, TNF receptor-associated factor (TRAF)6, and TGFβ-activated kinase (TAK)1, but not when the MAP3K MAPK/ERK kinase kinase-1 is used instead of TAK1, indicating that the target for SOCS-3 is the TRAF6/TAK1 signaling complex. By coimmunoprecipitation, it was shown that SOCS-3 inhibited the association between TRAF6 and TAK1 and that SOCS-3 coimmunoprecipitated with TAK1 and TRAF6. Furthermore, SOCS-3 inhibited the IL-1-induced catalytic activity of TAK1. Because ubiquitination of TRAF6 is required for activation of TAK1, we analyzed the role of SOCS-3 on TRAF6 ubiquitination and found that SOCS-3 inhibited ubiquitin modification of TRAF6. These results indicate that SOCS-3 inhibits IL-1 signal transduction by inhibiting ubiquitination of TRAF6, thus preventing association and activation of TAK1.
