Flow-mediated outward remodeling (FMR) is involved in postischemic revascularization. Angiotensin II type 2 receptor (AT2R), through activation of T-cell-mediated IL-17 production, and estrogens are involved in FMR. Thus, we investigated the interplay between estrogens and AT2R in FMR using a model of ligation of feed arteries supplying collateral pathways in mouse mesenteric arteries in vivo. Arteries were collected after 2 (inflammatory phase), 4 (diameter expansion phase), and 7 days (remodeling completed). We used AT2R+/+ and AT2R−/− ovariectomized (OVX) female mice treated or not with 17-beta-estradiol (E2). Seven days after ligation, arterial diameter was larger in high flow (HF) compared to normal flow (NF) arteries. FMR was absent in OVX mice and restored by E2. AT2R gene expression was higher in HF than in NF arteries only in E2-treated OVX AT2R+/+ mice. CD11b and TNF alpha levels (inflammatory phase), MMP2 and TIMP1 (extracellular matrix digestion), and NOS3 (diameter expansion phase) expression levels were higher in HF than in NF arteries only in E2-treated AT2R+/+ mice, not in the other groups. Thus, E2 is necessary for AT2R-dependent diameter expansion, possibly through activation of T-cell AT2R, in arteries submitted chronically to high blood flow. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
