Increasing evidence suggests that mineralo- and
glucocorticoids modulate cardiovascular homeostasis via the effects of
circulating components generated within the adrenals but also through
local synthesis. The aim of this study was to assess the existence of such a steroidogenic system in heart.
Using the quantitative reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction,
the terminal enzymes of corticosterone and aldosterone synthesis
(11 -hydroxylase and aldosterone synthase, respectively) were
detected in the rat heart. This pathway was shown to be physiologically active, since production of aldosterone, corticosterone, and their precursor, deoxycorticosterone, was detected in both the homogenate and
perfusate of isolated rat hearts using radioimmunoassay after Celite
column chromatography. Perfusion of angiotensin II or
adrenocorticotropin for 3 h increased aldosterone and
corticosterone production and decreased deoxycorticosterone, suggesting
that aldosterone and corticosterone are formed within the isolated
heart from a locally present substrate.
Chronic regulation of this intracardiac system was then examined. As in
adrenals cardiac 11 -hydroxylase and aldosterone-synthase mRNAs
were independently regulated by 1 week's treatment with either low
sodium and high potassium diet (which increased aldosterone synthase
mRNA level only), angiotensin II (which raised level of both
mRNAs), or adrenocorticotropin (which stimulated the
11 -hydroxylase gene exclusively). Changes in cardiac steroid levels
during treatment were not directly related to their plasma levels
suggesting independent regulating mechanisms. This study, therefore,
provides the first evidence for the existence of an endocrine cardiac
steroidogenic system in rat heart and emphasizes its potential
physiological and pathological relevance.
