Autoradiographic localization of angiotensin II receptors in rat brain.

Abstract: The 125I-labeled agonist analog [1-sarcosine]-angiotensin II ([Sar']AII) bound with high specificity and affinity (Ka = 2 x 109 M-1) to a single class of receptor sites in rat brain. This ligand was used to analyze the distribution of All receptors in rat brain by in vitro autoradiography followed by computerized densitometry and color coding. A very high density of All receptors was found in the subfornical organ, paraventricular and periventricular nuclei of the hypothalamus, nucleus of the tractus solitariu… Show more

“…Therefore, the Ang II-induced effects are inhibited by a lower dose of [Sar1, Ile$]Ang II in the SON than in the PVN. Also, this is consistent with evidence from auto radiographic binding studies that the Ang II receptor concentration is higher in the PVN than in the SON (8,10). It is suggested that Ang II receptors exist on cell bodies of vasopressin-containing neurons in the nuclei and direct ly promotes vasopressin release (11)(12)(13)(14).…”

“…Neurons in the CVOs, notably the subfornical organ (SFO) and the organum vasculosum of the lamina terminalis (OVLT), not only sense circulating peptides like ANG II (3,14) but also send ANG II-immunoreactive efferent projections to the PVN where neurons express a high concentration of ANG II AT 1 receptors (23,29). Electrophysiological studies demonstrate that ANG II can increase PVN unit discharge when applied either directly within the SFO or when given systemically (1,15).…”

“…It is therefore intriguing that radioligand binding studies have consistently demonstrated either relatively very low levels of AT receptors in the adult rat striatum (Sirett et al, 1977;Mendelsohn et al, 1984) or levels often below the limits of detection (e.g. see Gehlert et al, 1991).…”
