The mineralocorticoid receptor
(MR), a ligand-dependent transcription factor, mediates
aldosterone actions in a large variety of tissues. To explore the
functional implication of MR in pathophysiology, transgenic mouse
models were generated using the proximal human MR (hMR) promoter to
drive expression of hMR in aldosterone target tissues. Tissue-specific
analysis of transgene expression in two independent transgenic animal
(TG) lines by ribonuclease protection assays revealed that hMR is
expressed in all mineralocorticoid-sensitive tissues, most notably in
the kidney and the heart. TG exhibit both renal and cardiac
abnormalities. Enlarged kidneys were histologically associated with
renal tubular dilation and cellular vacuolization whose prevalence
increased with aging. Renal clearance studies also disclosed a
significant decrease in urinary potassium excretion rate in TG.
hMR-expressing animals had normal blood pressure but developed mild
dilated cardiomyopathy (increased left ventricle diameters and
decreased shortening fraction), which was accompanied by a significant
increase in heart rate. Differential gene expression analysis revealed
a 2- to 5-fold increase in cardiac expression of atrial natriuretic
peptide, serum- and glucocorticoid-induced kinase, and early
growth response gene 1 as detected by microarrays; renal serum- and
glucocorticoid-induced kinase was also induced significantly.
Altogether, TG exhibited specific alteration of renal and cardiac
functions, thus providing useful pathophysiological models to gain new
insights into the tissue-specific mineralocorticoid signaling pathways.
