Circulating and cardiac renin-angiotensin systems (RAS) play important roles in the development of cardiac hypertrophy. Mechanical stretch of cardiac myocytes induces secretion of ANG II and evokes hypertrophic responses. Angiotensinogen is a unique substrate of the RAS. This study was performed to examine the regulation of the angiotensinogen gene in cardiac myocytes in response to ANG II and stretch. ANG II and stretch significantly increased the levels of angiotensinogen mRNA in cardiac myocytes. Actinomycin D completely inhibited ANG II- and stretch-mediated increases in angiotensinogen mRNA. Although CV-11974 abolished ANG II-mediated increases in mRNA level and promoter activity of the angiotensinogen gene, the inhibition of stretch-mediated activation by CV-11974 was significant but not complete. These results indicate that ANG II activates transcription of the angiotensinogen gene exclusively via ANG II type 1-receptor pathway and that stretch activates such transcription mainly via the same pathway in cardiac myocytes. Furthermore, factors other than ANG II may also be involved in stretch-mediated activation of the angiotensinogen gene in cardiac myocytes.
