Abstract
Dopamine is synthesized in the nervous system where it acts as a neurotransmitter. Dopamine is also synthesized in a number of peripheral organs as well as in several types of cells and has organ-specific functions and, as demonstrated more recently, is involved in the regulation of the immune response and inflammatory reaction. In particular, the renal dopaminergic system is very important in the regulation of sodium transport and blood pressure and is particularly sensitive to stimuli that cause oxidative stress and inflammation. This review is focused on how dopamine is synthesized in organs and tissues and the mechanisms by which dopamine and its receptors exert their effects on the inflammatory response.

Abstract
Dopamine has effects on the mammalian heart. These effects can include an increase in the force of contraction, and an elevation of the beating rate and the constriction of coronary arteries. Depending on the species studied, positive inotropic effects were strong, very modest, or absent, or even negative inotropic effects occurred. We can discern five dopamine receptors. In addition, the signal transduction by dopamine receptors and the regulation of the expression of cardiac dopamine receptors will be of interest to us, because this might be a tempting area of drug development. Dopamine acts in a species-dependent fashion on these cardiac dopamine receptors, but also on cardiac adrenergic receptors. We will discuss the utility of drugs that are currently available as tools to understand cardiac dopamine receptors. The molecule dopamine itself is present in the mammalian heart. Therefore, cardiac dopamine might act as an autocrine or paracrine compound in the mammalian heart. Dopamine itself might cause cardiac diseases. Moreover, the cardiac function of dopamine and the expression of dopamine receptors in the heart can be altered in diseases such as sepsis. Various drugs for cardiac and non-cardiac diseases are currently in the clinic that are, at least in part, agonists or antagonists at dopamine receptors. We define the research needs in order to understand dopamine receptors in the heart better. All in all, an update on the role of dopamine receptors in the human heart appears to be clinically relevant, and is thus presented here.

[PMID: 36672619 PMCID: PMC9855394 DOI: 10.3390/biomedicines11010111] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/04/2022] [Revised: 12/23/2022] [Accepted: 12/27/2022] [Indexed: 01/04/2023] Open
Abstract
The genetic and molecular basis of developing high blood pressure and renal disease are not well known. Resp18mutant Dahl salt-sensitive (SS-Resp18mutant) rats fed a 2% NaCl diet for six weeks have high blood pressure, increased renal fibrosis, and decreased mean survival time. Impairment of the dopaminergic system also leads to hypertension that involves renal and non-renal mechanisms. Deletion of any of the five dopamine receptors may lead to salt-sensitive hypertension. Therefore, we investigated the interaction between Resp18 and renal dopamine in SS-Resp18mutant and Dahl salt-sensitive (SS) rats. We found that SS-Resp18mutant rats had vascular dysfunction, as evidenced by a decrease in vasorelaxation in response to sodium nitroprusside. The pressure-natriuresis curve in SS-Resp18mutant rats was shifted down and to the right of SS rats. SS-Resp18mutant rats had decreased glomerular filtration rate and dopamine receptor subtypes, D1R and D5R. Renal dopamine levels were decreased, but urinary dopamine levels were increased, which may be the consequence of increased renal dopamine production, followed by secretion into the tubular lumen. The increased renal dopamine production in SS-Resp18mutant rats in vivo was substantiated by the increased dopamine production in renal proximal tubule cells treated with L-DOPA. Overall, our study provides evidence that targeted disruption of the Resp18 locus in the SS rat dysregulates the renal dopaminergic system.

Interactions between the intrarenal dopaminergic and the renin-angiotensin systems in the control of systemic arterial pressure. Clin Sci (Lond) 2022; 136:1205-1227. [PMID: 35979889 DOI: 10.1042/cs20220338] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/20/2022] [Revised: 07/31/2022] [Accepted: 08/03/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Systemic arterial hypertension is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in the general population, being a risk factor for many cardiovascular diseases. Although its pathogenesis is complex and still poorly understood, some systems appear to play major roles in its development. This review aims to update the current knowledge on the interaction of the intrarenal renin-angiotensin system (RAS) and dopaminergic system in the development of hypertension, focusing on recent scientific hallmarks in the field. The intrarenal RAS, composed of several peptides and receptors, has a critical role in the regulation of blood pressure (BP) and, consequently, the development of hypertension. The RAS is divided into two main intercommunicating axes: the classical axis, composed of angiotensin-converting enzyme, angiotensin II, and angiotensin type 1 receptor, and the ACE2/angiotensin-(1-7)/Mas axis, which appears to modulate the effects of the classical axis. Dopamine and its receptors are also increasingly showing an important role in the pathogenesis of hypertension, as abnormalities in the intrarenal dopaminergic system impair the regulation of renal sodium transport, regardless of the affected dopamine receptor subtype. There are five dopamine receptors, which are divided into two major subtypes: the D1-like (D1R and D5R) and D2-like (D2R, D3R, and D4R) receptors. Mice deficient in any of the five dopamine receptor subtypes have increased BP. Intrarenal RAS and the dopaminergic system have complex interactions. The balance between both systems is essential to regulate the BP homeostasis, as alterations in the control of both can lead to hypertension.

Abstract
Dopamine is a key regulator of glucose metabolism in the central nervous system. However, dopamine is also present in the periphery and may have direct effects on insulin-sensitive tissues. Dopamine receptor 2 (D2R) agonist bromocriptine is a FDA-approved drug for type 2 diabetes. Herein, we explored the role of peripheral dopamine and its receptors in regulating glucose uptake and metabolism on insulin-sensitive tissues. Peripheral dopamine effect in [3H]2-deoxyglucose uptake in insulin-sensitive tissues was tested in vivo in rats. Direct effects on [3H]2-deoxyglucose uptake, insulin receptor phosphorylation, and regulation of metabolic function were tested ex vivo in the liver, soleus muscle, and white and brown adipose tissues. Bromocriptine and the antagonists domperidone, D2R antagonist, and haloperidol, antagonist of both dopamine receptor 1 (D1R) and D2R, were used to disclose dopamine receptors’ involvement. Peripheral dopamine increases glucose uptake in vivo. Ex vivo, only dopamine increased glucose uptake in the soleus, while bromocriptine increased it in the liver; the effects were reverted by haloperidol and domperidone, respectively. In adipose tissue, domperidone reverted dopamine- and bromocriptine-mediated potentiation of insulin-induced glucose uptake, but in turn increased the insulin receptor, Akt, AMPK, HSL, ACC, and ACL, phosphorylation. In the soleus muscle, AMPK-phosphorylation increased with bromocriptine and dopamine whose effects were suppressed by domperidone and haloperidol. In conclusion, peripheral dopamine stimulates glucose uptake with its receptors being differentially involved in glucose uptake in insulin-sensitive tissues. Dopamine also has a role in lipid metabolism in white adipose tissue. Altogether, these results suggest that peripheral modulation of the dopaminergic system should be further evaluated as a putative therapeutic approach for metabolic disorders.

Dopamine D 5 receptor-mediated decreases in mitochondrial reactive oxygen species production are cAMP and autophagy dependent. Hypertens Res 2021; 44:628-641. [PMID: 33820956 PMCID: PMC8369611 DOI: 10.1038/s41440-021-00646-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/23/2019] [Revised: 11/10/2019] [Accepted: 12/03/2019] [Indexed: 01/31/2023]
Abstract
Overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) plays an important role in the pathogenesis of hypertension. The dopamine D5 receptor (D5R) is known to decrease ROS production, but the mechanism is not completely understood. In HEK293 cells overexpressing D5R, fenoldopam, an agonist of the two D1-like receptors, D1R and D5R, decreased the production of mitochondria-derived ROS (mito-ROS). The fenoldopam-mediated decrease in mito-ROS production was mimicked by Sp-cAMPS but blocked by Rp-cAMPS. In human renal proximal tubule cells with DRD1 gene silencing to eliminate the confounding effect of D1R, fenoldopam still decreased mito-ROS production. By contrast, Sch23390, a D1R and D5R antagonist, increased mito-ROS production in the absence of D1R, D5R is constitutively active. The fenoldopam-mediated inhibition of mito-ROS production may have been related to autophagy because fenoldopam increased the expression of the autophagy hallmark proteins, autophagy protein 5 (ATG5), and the microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain (LC)3-II. In the presence of chloroquine or spautin-1, inhibitors of autophagy, fenoldopam further increased ATG5 and LC3-II expression, indicating an important role of D5R in the positive regulation of autophagy. However, when autophagy was inhibited, fenoldopam was unable to inhibit ROS production. Indeed, the levels of these autophagy hallmark proteins were decreased in the kidney cortices of Drd5-/- mice. Moreover, ROS production was increased in mitochondria isolated from the kidney cortices of Drd5-/- mice, relative to Drd5+/+ littermates. In conclusion, D5R-mediated activation of autophagy plays a role in the D5R-mediated inhibition of mito-ROS production in the kidneys.

Abstract
Regulated endocrine-specific protein-18 (RESP18), a novel 18-kDa protein, was first identified in neuroendocrine tissue. Subsequent studies showed that Resp18 is expressed in the adrenal medulla, brain, pancreas, pituitary, retina, stomach, superior cervical ganglion, testis, and thyroid and also circulates in the plasma. Resp18 has partial homology with the islet cell antigen 512, also known as protein tyrosine phosphatase, receptor type N (PTPRN), but does not have phosphatase activity. Resp18 might serve as an intracellular signal; however, its function is unclear. It is regulated by dopamine, glucocorticoids, and insulin. We recently reported that the targeted disruption of the Resp18 locus in Dahl salt-sensitive rats increased their blood pressure and caused renal injury. The aim of the present review was to provide a comprehensive summary of the reported data currently available, especially the expression and proposed organ-specific function of Resp18.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of Xin-Ji-Er-Kang (XJEK) on high salt-induced hypertensive mice. Mice with high-salt diet-induced hypertension were divided into four groups: Control (standard diet alone for 8 weeks), model (diet containing 8% NaCl for 8 weeks and intragastric administration of distilled water for the last 4 weeks), XJEK + high-salt-treated (diet containing 8% NaCl for 8 weeks and intragastric administration of XJEK for the last 4 weeks) and irbesartan + high-salt-treated (diet containing 8% NaCl for 8 weeks with intragastric administration of irbesartan for the last 4 weeks). The hemodynamic index and cardiac pathological changes in the hypertensive mice were then examined. An aortic ring apparatus was used to detect acetylcholine-dependent endothelium relaxation function. Colorimetric analysis was applied to determine serum nitric oxide (NO), superoxide dismutase activity and malondialdehyde content; ELISA was employed to measure brain natriuretic peptide, serum angiotensin II (Ang II), endothelin-1 content and aldosterone; and immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS), interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-10 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α in cardiac tissues. XJEK improved the heart systolic and diastolic function, ameliorated hemodynamic parameters and cardiovascular remodeling indices, blunted the cardiac pathological changes and improved endothelial dysfunction (ED) via boosting eNOS activity, promoting NO bioavailability and decreasing serum Ang II content. Furthermore, treatment with XJEK inhibited the increase of IL-1β and TNF-α expression and the decrease of IL-10 expression in cardiac tissues, and ameliorated oxidative stress status. Therefore, XJEK exerted protective effects against high salt-induced hypertension and cardiovascular remodeling in mice via improving ED, restoring pro- and anti-inflammatory factor balance and decreasing oxidative stress.

Abstract
New discoveries into the functional role of primary cilia are on the rise. In little more than 20 years, research has shown the once vestigial organelle is a signaling powerhouse involved in a vast number of essential cellular processes. In the same decade that interest in primary cilia was burgeoning, nitric oxide won molecule of the year and a Nobel prize for its role as a near ubiquitous signaling molecule. Although primary cilia and nitric oxide are both involved in signaling, a direct relationship has not been investigated; however, after a quick review of the literature, parallels between their functions can be drawn. This review aims to suggest a possible interplay between primary cilia and nitric oxide signaling especially in the areas of vascular tissue homeostasis and cellular proliferation.

Abstract
The rising prevalence of primary pediatric hypertension and its tracking into adult hypertension point to the importance of determining its pathogenesis to gain insights into its current and emerging management. Considering that the intricate control of BP is governed by a myriad of anatomical, molecular biological, biochemical, and physiological systems, multiple genes are likely to influence an individual's BP and susceptibility to develop hypertension. The long-term regulation of BP rests on renal and non-renal mechanisms. One renal mechanism relates to sodium transport. The impaired renal sodium handling in primary hypertension and salt sensitivity may be caused by aberrant counter-regulatory natriuretic and anti-natriuretic pathways. The sympathetic nervous and renin-angiotensin-aldosterone systems are examples of antinatriuretic pathways. An important counter-regulatory natriuretic pathway is afforded by the renal autocrine/paracrine dopamine system, aberrations of which are involved in the pathogenesis of hypertension, including that associated with obesity. We present updates on the complex interactions of these two systems with dietary salt intake in relation to obesity, insulin resistance, inflammation, and oxidative stress. We review how insults during pregnancy such as maternal and paternal malnutrition, glucocorticoid exposure, infection, placental insufficiency, and treatments during the neonatal period have long-lasting effects in the regulation of renal function and BP. Moreover, these effects have sex differences. There is a need for early diagnosis, frequent monitoring, and timely management due to increasing evidence of premature target organ damage. Large controlled studies are needed to evaluate the long-term consequences of the treatment of elevated BP during childhood, especially to establish the validity of the current definition and treatment of pediatric hypertension.

Abstract
Both the dopaminergic and renin-angiotensin systems play important roles in the regulation of blood pressure. Our previous study showed that the stimulation of dopaminergic D4 receptors reduced angiotensin II type 1 (AT1) receptor expression in renal proximal tubule (RPT) cells. In this study, we tested whether AT1 receptors, in return, would regulate D4 receptor expression and function in RPT cells. Expression of the D4 receptor from Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) or spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs) RPT cells and renal cortex tissues were determined by western blot, and Na+-K+ ATPase activity was determined using an enzyme assay. Urine volume and urine sodium of WKY rats and SHRs treated with or without D4 receptor stimulation were measured. Thus, activation of AT1 receptors with angiotensin II (Ang II) increased D4 receptor protein expression in RPT cells, and this increase was blocked by nicardipine, a calcium influx blocker. The D4 receptor agonist PD168077 inhibited Na+-K+ ATPase activity in WKY RPT cells but not in SHR RPT cells. Ang II pre-treatment promoted D4 receptor-mediated inhibition of Na+-K+ ATPase in RPT cells in WKY rats but not in SHRs. Meanwhile, Ang II pre-treatment augmented the natriuretic effect of PD168077 in WKY rats but not in SHRs. In conclusion, AT1 stimulation can regulate the expression and natriuretic function of dopaminergic D4 receptors in RPT cells and might be involved in the pathogenesis of essential hypertension.

Stimulation of Dopamine D3 Receptor Attenuates Renal Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury via Increased Linkage With Gα12. Transplantation 2016; 99:2274-84.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Renal ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury causes renal tubular necrosis, apoptosis, and inflammation leading to acute renal dysfunction. Recent studies have revealed that deletion of Gα12 mitigates the renal damage due to I/R injury. Our previous study showed that activation of dopamine D3 receptor (D3R) increased its linkage with Gα12, and hampered Gα12-mediated stimulation of renal sodium transport. In the present study, we used an in-vivo rat model and an in vitro study of the renal epithelial cell line (NRK52E) to investigate whether or not an increased linkage between D3R and Gα12 contributes to the protective effect of D3R on renal I/R injury. METHODS For in vivo studies, I/R injury was induced in a rat renal unilateral clamping model. For in vitro studies, hypoxia/reoxygenation and cold storage/rewarming injuries were performed in NRK52E cells. PD128907, a D3R agonist, or vehicle, was administered 15 minutes before clamping (or hypoxia) in both the in vivo or in vitro studies. RESULTS In the rat renal unilateral clamping model, pretreatment with PD128907 (0.2 mg/kg, intravenous) protected against renal I/R injury and increased survival rate during a long-term follow-up after 7 days. A decrease in the generation of reactive oxygen species, apoptosis, and inflammation may be involved in the D3R-mediated protection because pretreatment with PD128907 increased renal glutathione and superoxide dismutase levels and decreased malondialdehyde levels in the I/R group. The increase in cytokines (TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-10) and myeloperoxidase in I/R injured kidney was also prevented with a simultaneous decrease in the apoptosis of the epithelial cells and expression of apoptosis biomarkers in kidney harvested 1 day after I/R injury. The increase in the coimmunoprecipitation between D3R and Gα12 with D3R stimulation paralleled the observed renal protection from I/R injury. Moreover, in vitro studies showed that transient overexpression of Gα12 in the NRK52E cells attenuated the protective effect of PD128907 on hypoxia/reoxygenation injury. The protective effect of PD128907 might be of significance to renal transplantation because cold storage/rewarming induced injury increased lactate dehydrogenase release and decreased cell viability in NRK52E cells. Conversely, in the presence of PD128907, the increased lactate dehydrogenase release and decreased cell viability were reversed. CONCLUSIONS These results suggest that activation of D3R, by decreasing Gα12-induced renal damage, may exert a protective effect from I/R injury.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The kidney, via its regulation of sodium excretion, which is modulated by humoral factors, including the dopamine and renin-angiotensin systems, keeps the blood pressure in the normal range. We have reported a negative interaction between dopamine D3 and AT1 receptors (D3R and AT1R) in renal proximal tubule (RPT) cells. Here, we studied the interaction between D3R and AT2R in vitro and in vivo. METHODS AND RESULTS Stimulation of either the D3R or AT2R, by the intrarenal arterial infusion of PD128907, a D3R agonist, or CGP42112A, an AT2R agonist, induced natriuresis and diuresis that were enhanced by the simultaneous infusion of PD128907 and CGP42112A in Wistar rats. The D3/AT2 receptor interaction was confirmed in in vitro, i.e., stimulation of either the D3R or AT2R inhibited Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase activity that was enhanced by the costimulation of these receptors. D3R and AT2R colocalized and coimmunoprecipitated in kidney and RPT cells (RPTCs). Stimulation of one receptor increased the localization of the other receptor at the plasma cell membrane. ERK1/2-MAPK is involved in the signaling pathway of D3R and AT2R interaction because costimulation of D3R and AT2R significantly increased ERK1/2-MAPK expression in RPTCs; inhibition of ERK1/2-MAPK abolished the inhibition of Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase activity that was enhanced by D3R and AT2R costimulation. CONCLUSIONS Our current study indicates that D3R, in combination with AT2R, enhances natriuresis and diuresis, via ERK1/2-MAPK pathway, that may be involved in the regulation of blood pressure.

Abstract
For many G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), the role of the first intracellular loop (IL1) and its connections with adjacent transmembrane (TM) regions have not been investigated. Notably, these regions harbor several polar residues such as Ser and Thr. To begin uncovering how these polar residues may contribute to the structural basis for GPCR functionality, we have designed human D1-class receptor mutants (hD1-ST1 and hD5-ST1) whereby all Ser and Thr of IL1 and IL1/TM2 juncture have been replaced by Ala and Val, respectively. Both ST1 mutants exhibited a loss of dopamine affinity but similar binding properties for inverse agonists compared to their parent receptors. As well, these mutations diminished receptor activation for both subtypes, as indicated by an ablated constitutive activity and a pronounced decrease in dopamine potency. Interestingly, both mutants exhibited enhanced dopamine-mediated maximal stimulation (Emax) of adenylyl cyclase that was at least two-fold higher than wild-type. Point mutations for hD1R revealed that the loss in dopamine affinity and potency was attributed to Thr59, while the enhanced Emax of adenylyl cyclase was directly influenced by Ser65. These two residues are conserved among many Family A GPCRs and have recurring molecular interactions among crystallized structures. As such, their functional roles for IL1 and its transition into TM2 reported herein may also be applicable to other GPCRs. Our work thus potentially highlights a structural role of Thr59 and Ser65 in the formation of critical intramolecular interactions for ligand binding and signal transduction of D1-class dopaminergic receptors.

Abstract
Humans have dopamine D5 receptors (hD5R) with single-nucleotide polymorphisms and a diminished function. We generated hD5(F173L) cDNA that has a decreased response to D5R agonist-mediated increase in cAMP production and increased production of reactive oxygen species, relative to wild-type hD5R (hD5(WT)) cDNA expressed in Chinese hamster ovary cells. To investigate the role of hD5(F173L) in the pathogenesis of salt-sensitive hypertension, we generated transgenic mice overexpressing hD5(F173L) or hD5(WT) and fed them normal (0.8% NaCl) or high (4% NaCl) salt diet. On normal salt diet, the blood pressure, and renal NADPH oxidase activity and angiotensin type 1 receptor (AT1R) expression were higher in hD5(F173L) than hD5(WT) transgenic mice. After 2 weeks on high salt diet, the blood pressure and renal NADPH oxidase activity, but not AT1R expression, were increased in hD5(F173L) but not in hD5(WT) transgenic mice. Candesartan, an AT1R antagonist, decreased the blood pressure and NADPH oxidase activity in hD5(F173L) but not in hD5(WT) transgenic mice. We suggest that the ability of the hD5R to negatively regulate the renal NADPH oxidase activity and AT1R function may have important implications in the pathogenesis of salt-sensitive blood pressure. However, the mechanisms involved in regulating the balance of renal D5R and AT1R function in the oxidative stress-mediated salt-sensitive blood pressure remain to be determined.

Abstract
Salt sensitivity of blood pressure, whether in hypertensive or normotensive subjects, is associated with increased cardiovascular risk and overall mortality. Salt sensitivity can be treated by reducing NaCl consumption. However, decreasing salt intake in some may actually increase cardiovascular risk, including an increase in blood pressure, that is, inverse salt sensitivity. Several genes have been associated with salt sensitivity and inverse salt sensitivity. Some of these genes encode proteins expressed in the kidney that are needed to excrete a sodium load, for example, dopamine receptors and their regulators, G protein-coupled receptor kinase 4 (GRK4). We review here research in this field that has provided several translational opportunities, ranging from diagnostic tests to gene therapy, such as (1) a test in renal proximal tubule cells isolated from the urine of humans that may determine the salt-sensitive phenotype by analyzing the recruitment of dopamine D1 receptors to the plasma membrane; (2) the presence of common GRK4 gene variants that are not only associated with hypertension but may also be predictive of the response to antihypertensive therapy; (3) genetic testing for polymorphisms of the dopamine D2 receptor that may be associated with hypertension and inverse salt sensitivity and may increase the susceptibility to chronic kidney disease because of loss of the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects of the renal dopamine D2 receptor, and (4) in vivo renal selective amelioration of renal tubular genetic defects by a gene transfer approach, using adeno-associated viral vectors introduced to the kidney by retrograde ureteral infusion.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The renal dopaminergic system plays an important role in the pathogenesis of hypertension. Dopamine D1-like receptors (D1R and D5R) decrease reactive oxygen species (ROS) production via inhibition of pro-oxidant enzymes such as NADPH oxidase. Paraoxonase 2 (PON2) is also involved in the inhibition of NADPH oxidase activity. Therefore, we tested the hypothesis that D1R and D5R inhibit ROS production by increasing the expression of PON2, including those in membrane microdomains. METHODS AND RESULTS PON2 colocalized with D1R and D5R in mouse renal proximal tubules (RPTs), human RPT (hRPT) cells, and HEK293 cells heterologously expressing human D1R (HEK-hD1R) or D5R (HEK-hD5R). Fenoldopam, an agonist for both D1R and D5R, increased PON2 co-immunoprecipitation with D1R and D5R in HEK-hD1R and HEK-hD5R cells, respectively. Silencing PON2 increased ROS production and NADPH oxidase activity, and impaired the inhibitory effect of fenoldopam. Fenoldopam increased PON2 protein in both lipid rafts (LRs) and non-LRs in HEK-hD1R cells, but only in non-LRs in HEK-hD5R and hRPT cells. Long-term (hrs) fenoldopam stimulation increased PON2 protein in a time-dependent manner in HEK-hD5R, but not in HEK-hD1R cells. Because the effects of fenoldopam on non-LR and total PON2 expressions were similar in HEK-hD5R and hRPT cells, additional studies were performed to determine the relationship between D5R and PON2. Renal PON2 protein was decreased in D5(-/-) mice. In hRPT cells, silencing D5R decreased PON2 expression and increased ROS production. CONCLUSIONS We conclude that D1-like receptors inhibit ROS production by altering PON2 distribution in membrane microdomains in the short-term, and by increasing PON2 expression in the long-term.

Abstract
We examined effects of normal (NS) and high salt (HS) on blood pressure (BP) and cortico-medullary distribution of dopamine D1 receptor (D1R), angiotensin AT1 receptor (AT1R), NADPH oxidase-gp(91phox), and sodium transporters (NHE-3, Na, K ATPase) in adult and aged rats. Aged rats fed with NS diet had higher BP, which further increased with HS. HS increased D1R mRNA and protein levels in cortex and medulla of adult rats. NS or HS fed-aged rats had higher AT1R and gp(91phox) mRNA levels in cortex and medulla. Aged rats fed with NS diet had higher gp(91phox) protein levels in cortex. HS diet increased AT1R and gp(91phox) protein levels in medulla of aged rats. Aged rats fed with NS or HS diet had higher NHE-3 protein levels in medulla. HS increased Na, K ATPase protein levels in medulla of aged rats. HS increased urinary kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1) but not protein or albumin levels in aged rats. These results suggest that cortical gp(91phox) and medullary NHE-3 contribute to age-related hypertension. Whereas D1R (cortical and medullary) together with medullary AT1R, gp(91phox) and Na, K-ATPase contribute to salt sensitivity in aged rats. And, KIM-1 may be a better marker for kidney damage.

Abstract
The dopaminergic and renin-angiotensin systems interact to regulate blood pressure. Disruption of the D4 dopamine receptor gene in mice produces hypertension that is associated with increased renal angiotensin type 1 (AT1) receptor expression. We hypothesize that the D4 receptor can inhibit AT1 receptor expression and function in renal proximal tubule cells from Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rats, but the D4 receptor regulation of AT1 receptor is aberrant in renal proximal tubule cells from spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs). The D4 receptor agonist, PD168077, decreased AT1 receptor protein expression in a time- and concentration-dependent manner in WKY cells. By contrast, in SHR cells, PD168077 increased AT1 receptor protein expression. The inhibitory effect of D4 receptor on AT1 receptor expression in WKY cells was blocked by a calcium channel blocker, nicardipine, or calcium-free medium, indicating that calcium is involved in the D4 receptor-mediated signaling pathway. Angiotensin II increased Na(+)-K(+) ATPase activity in WKY cells. Pretreatment with PD168077 decreased the stimulatory effect of angiotensin II on Na(+)-K(+) ATPase activity in WKY cells. In SHR cells, the inhibitory effect of D4 receptor on angiotensin II-mediated stimulation of Na(+)-K(+) ATPase activity was aberrant; pretreatment with PD168077 augmented the stimulatory effect of AT1 receptor on Na(+)-K(+) ATPase activity in SHR cells. This was confirmed in vivo; pretreatment with PD128077 for 1 week augmented the antihypertensive and natriuretic effect of losartan in SHRs but not in WKY rats. We suggest that an aberrant interaction between D4 and AT1 receptors may play a role in the abnormal regulation of sodium excretion in hypertension.

Abstract
It is recognized that dopamine promotes natriuresis by inhibiting multiple transporting systems in the proximal tubule. In contrast, less is known about the molecular targets of dopamine actions on water-electrolyte transport in the cortical collecting duct (CCD). Epithelial cells in the CCD are exposed to dopamine, which is synthesized locally or secreted from sympathetic nerve endings. Basolateral K(+) channels in the distal renal tubule are critical for K(+) recycling and controlling basolateral membrane potential to establish the driving force for Na(+) reabsorption. Here, we demonstrate that Kir4.1 and Kir5.1 are highly expressed in the mouse kidney cortex and are localized to the basolateral membrane of the CCD. Using patch-clamp electrophysiology in freshly isolated CCDs, we detected highly abundant 40-pS and scarce 20-pS single channel conductances, most likely representing Kir4.1/5.1 and Kir4.1 channels, respectively. Dopamine reversibly decreased the open probability of both channels, with a relatively greater action on the Kir4.1/5.1 heterodimer. This effect was mediated by D2-like but not D1-like dopamine receptors. PKC blockade abolished the inhibition of basolateral K(+) channels by dopamine. Importantly, dopamine significantly decreased the amplitude of Kir4.1/5.1 and Kir4.1 unitary currents. Consistently, dopamine induced an acute depolarization of basolateral membrane potential, as directly monitored using current-clamp mode in isolated CCDs. Therefore, we demonstrate that dopamine inhibits basolateral Kir4.1/5.1 and Kir4.1 channels in CCD cells via stimulation of D2-like receptors and subsequently PKC. This leads to depolarization of the basolateral membrane and a decreased driving force for Na(+) reabsorption in the distal renal tubule.

Abstract
Dopamine (DA) and other neurotransmitters affect nonneuronal tissues in insects by circulating in the hemolymph. In several organisms, DA has been shown to modulate distinct aspects of cardiac function but the signal transduction pathways that mediate dopaminergic effects on the heart are not well characterized. Here, we used a semiintact Drosophila melanogaster larva preparation and drugs targeting DA receptors and canonical second messenger pathways to identify signaling cascades that mediate the effect of DA on a myogenic heart. DA has a positive chronotropic effect that is mimicked by SKF38393 (type-1 DA receptor agonist) and quinpirole (type-2 DA receptor agonist). SCH23390 and spiperone (type-1 and type-2 DA receptor antagonists) are moderately effective at inhibiting DA's effect. An adenylate cyclase inhibitor (SQ,22536) is also effective at blocking the stimulatory effect of DA but the drug has its own dose-dependent effect. Activation of protein kinase C with a diacylglycerol analog has a stimulatory effect on heart rate (HR). These results suggest that (1) both DA receptor subtypes are expressed in third instar larva cardiac myocytes to increase HR in response to rising levels of DA in the hemolymph, and (2) canonical second messenger pathways modulate HR in D. melanogaster larvae. Having these disparate signaling cascades converge toward a common modulatory function appears redundant, but in the context of multiple cardioactive chemicals this redundancy is likely to increase the fidelity of signal transduction.

Abstract
A recent study demonstrated that the dopamine D1 receptor (D1R) is nonfunctional in human kidney cells, HK2 cells, in terms of their inability to couple to Gs protein in response to the D1R agonist fenoldopam. Since D1R also couples to Gq protein, we tested whether D1R is functional in HK2 cells in terms of their ability to couple to Gq and produce downstream signaling. For comparison, we also studied another receptor, angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT1R) known to couple to Gq. Protein kinase C (PKC) and (86)rubidium transport activities were determined as surrogate downstream signaling markers. Fenoldopam and angiotensin II increased PKC activity, which decreased in the presence of respective receptor antagonists (SCH23390 for D1R; candesartan for AT1R), PKC (chelerythrine chloride) and Gi protein (pertussis toxin) inhibitors and Gq/11α siRNA. Furthermore, fenoldopam and angiotensin II increased (35)S-GTPγS binding, an index of receptor-G protein coupling, which decreased with pertussis toxin and in Gq/11α-depleted cells. Also, fenoldopam-mediated inhibition of (86)rubidium transport (an index of Na-K-ATPase activity) was attenuated with SCH23390, chelerythrine chloride, pertussis toxin, and Gq/11α siRNA. Moreover, fenoldopam caused a decrease in cytosolic and increase in membranous abundance of Gq/11α. The immunoprecipitated levels of Gq/11α in the membranes were greater in fenoldopam-treated cells, and Giα coimmunoprecipitated with Gq/11α. Our results suggest that both D1R and AT1R are functional in HK2 cells, enabling Gq-mediated downstream signaling in a Gi dependent manner.

D5 dopamine receptor decreases NADPH oxidase, reactive oxygen species and blood pressure via heme oxygenase-1. Hypertens Res 2013; 36:684-90.

Abstract
D5 dopamine receptor (D5R) knock-out mice (D5(-/-)) have a higher blood pressure (BP) and higher reactive oxygen species (ROS) production than their D5R wild-type littermates (D5(+/+)). We tested the hypothesis that the high BP and increased ROS production in D5(-/-) mice may be caused by decreased heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) expression and activity. We found that renal HO-1 protein expression and HO enzyme activity were decreased (65 and 50%, respectively) in D5(-/-) relative to D5(+/+) mice. A 24 h of administration of hemin, an HO-1 inducer, increased HO-1 expression and HO activity (6.8- and 1.9-fold, respectively) and normalized the increased ROS production and BP in D5(-/-) mice. Expression of HO-1 protein and HO activity were increased (2.3- and 1.5-fold, respectively) in HEK cells that heterologously expressed human wild-type D5R (HEK-hD5R), but not the empty vector-transfected HEK-293 cells. Fenoldopam (Fen), a D5R agonist, increased HO activity (3 h), HO-1 protein expression, HO-1 and D5R colocalization and co-immunoprecipitation in HEK-hD5R cells. Cellular NADPH oxidase activity was decreased by 35% in HEK-hD5R that was abrogated with silencing of the heme oxygenase 1 gene (HMOX1). HMOX1 siRNA also impaired the ability of Fen to decrease NADPH oxidase activity in HEK-hD5R cells. In summary, the D5R positively regulates HO-1 through direct protein/protein interaction in the short-term and by increasing HO-1 protein expression in the long-term. The impaired D5R regulation of HO-1 and ROS production contributes to the pathogenesis of hypertension in D5(-/-) mice.

Abstract
Kidneys play a vital role in long-term regulation of blood pressure. This is achieved by actions of many renal and nonrenal factors acting on the kidney that help maintain the body's water and electrolyte balance and thus control blood pressure. Several endogenously formed or circulating hormones/peptides, by acting within the kidney, regulate fluid and water homeostasis and blood pressure. Dopamine and angiotensin II are the two key renal factors that, via acting on their receptors and counterregulating each other's function, maintain water and sodium balance. In this review, we provide recent advances in the signaling cascades of these renal receptors, especially at the level of their cross talk, and discuss their roles in blood pressure regulation in the aging process.

Inhibitors of 20-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (20-HETE) formation attenuate the natriuretic effect of dopamine. Eur J Pharmacol 2012; 686:97-103.

Abstract
Endogenous renal dopamine is a major physiological regulator of renal ion transport; however its intracellular signaling pathways are not thoroughly understood. The present study examined the role of 20-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (20-HETE), the major cytochrome P450 (CYP4A) metabolite of arachidonic acid formed in the renal cortex, on the natriuretic response to dopamine in Sprague Dawley rats. Infusion of dopamine (1.5μg/kg/min, i.v.) increased urine flow (1.9 fold over basal), sodium excretion (UNaV, 2.7 fold), fractional sodium excretion (FENa, 3.3 fold) and proximal and distal delivery of sodium by 1.5- and 2-fold respectively. Administration of two inhibitors of the synthesis of 20-HETE, 1-aminobenzotriazole (ABT) and N-hydroxy-N'-(-4-butyl-2-methylphenyl)formamidine (HET0016) reduced the response to dopamine by 65%. Induction of the renal expression of CYP4A enzymes with clofibrate did not alter the response to dopamine. The natriuretic response to dopamine was lower in Dahl salt-sensitive rats in comparison to an SS.BN5 consomic strain in which transfer of chromosome 5 from Brown Norway to Dahl salt-sensitive rats upregulates the renal expression of CYP4A protein and the production of 20-HETE. Treatment with HET0016 blocked the renal effects of dopamine in SS.BN5 rats. We also examined the influence of 20-HETE in the natriuretic response to acute volume expansion that is in part mediated via the release of endogenous dopamine. The increase in urine flow, UNaV, FENa and distal FENa following volume expansion was markedly reduced in rats treated with ABT. These results suggest that 20-HETE plays at least a permissive role in the natriuretic response to dopamine.

Abstract
Nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) plays a role in inflammation. However, we recently reported an association between NF-κB and antioxidant enzymes in renal proximal tubules of exercise-trained rats, suggesting its role in antioxidant homeostasis (George L, Lokhandwala MF, Asghar M. Am J Physiol Renal Physiol 297: F1174-F1180, 2009). A direct role of NF-κB in antioxidant homeostasis in renal cells has not been elucidated and warrants investigation. Therefore, we examined whether NF-κB has a direct role in antioxidant homeostasis and redox balance in human kidney-2 cells overexpressing NF-κB-p65 and compared them with the cells overexpressing Nrf-2, a well-known transcription factor involved in antioxidant homeostasis. The ability of NF-κB-p65 to increase antioxidant enzymes, to reduce reactive oxygen species (ROS), and to rescue ROS-induced renal dopamine D1 receptor dysfunction, was studied. The transcription activity of NF-κB-p65 and Nrf-2, measured as luciferase reporter activity, increased in cells overexpressing these nuclear factors. The levels of mRNA and activity of glutathione peroxidase as well as the protein levels of superoxide dismutase-1 and glutamylcystein transferase were increased in cells overexpressing NF-κB-p65 and Nrf-2. Furthermore, the levels of ROS decreased and D1 receptor agonist SKF38393-mediated [(35)S]GTPγS binding (index of D1 receptor function) increased in the presence of hydrogen peroxide in cells overexpressing NF-κB-p65 and Nrf-2. These results suggest a direct role of NF-κB-p65 in antioxidant homeostasis, contributing to redox balance in renal cells.
