Popis: Hypothesis: Cardiac hypertrophy in myocytes is in part regulated by changes in expression of a novel Ang II type 2 recep- tor (AT2-receptor) interacting protein identified as ATIP. Introduction: The role of the AT2-receptor in cardiac hypertrophy is controversial, with some reports indicating that AT2-receptor activation has detrimental effects on disease progression, whereas others indicate that it has a beneficial role. Materials and methods: In an effort to unravel this paradox, we examined the expression and function of ATIP in cell- based models of cardiac hypertrophy using QPCR, immunohistochemistry, cell proliferation, morphological and transfec- tion techniques in H9c2 cardio-myoblast and myotubules. Results: These studies indicate that in cultured cardio-myoblast and myotubules, Ang II mediates cellular hypertrophy and proliferation solely via the AT1-receptor, the ATIP variants are abundantly expressed and that ATIP3 may play an anti- proliferative/hypertrophic role in these cells in the absence of AT2-receptor expression or activation. Conclusions: Previously ATIP has been shown to inhibit growth factor signalling in cancerous cells via an interaction with the AT2-receptor. This is the first report to identify that ATIP may have a similar role in other disease states charac- terised by excessive growth and indicates that for ATIP3, at least, an interaction with the AT2-receptor may not be necessary.
