JAK-STAT and the renin-angiotensin system

Abstract: The renin-angiotensin system (RAS) plays important roles in blood pressure control and tissue disease. An inappropriate local angiotensin II elevation in the kidneys leads to the development of hypertension, tissue damage and chronic injury. Studies have demonstrated that the JAK-STAT pathway mediates angiotensin II-triggered gene transcription. The JAK-STAT pathway in turn, acting as an amplifying system, contributes to further intrarenal RAS activation. These observations prompt the suggestion that the JAK-S… Show more

“…Enhanced interferon gamma (IFN-γ) formation in activated T cells, natural killer cells, and macrophages during the development of Ang II associated hypertension has also been demonstrated [Crowley et al , 2008, Saha et al , 2010]. In addition to the stimulating effect of IL-6 on proximal tubular AGT expression, IFN-γ increases AGT expression in PTC [Satou et al , 2012] as well as in hepatocytes [Jain et al , 2006]. These findings suggest that AGT synthesis in proximal tubules is stimulated via Ang II-induced pro-inflammatory factors, particularly IL-6 and IFN-γ, derived from immune cells, which may be primary mechanisms underlying elevated intrarenal AGT levels during Ang II-dependent hypertension.…”

“…HTN in the INVEST participants. PTPRD codes for receptor-type protein tyrosine phosphatase receptor delta, which has been found to have roles in neuron growth and guidance as well as malignant glioma, although through its involvement in the STAT3 pathway could possibly play a role in intrarenal RAS signaling [65]. Further support for this is given by the identification of a SNP rs10739150 downstream of PTPRD that correlates with BP responsiveness in the African American group from this study (p=8.3 x 10 -6 ).…”

“…PTPRD has been shown to be a tumor suppressor gene in malignant glioma and other human cancers and was found to dephosphorylate signal transducers and activators of transcription 3 (STAT3) [20]. There is increasing evidence that STAT3 is involved in regulation of BP and the intrarenal RAS through the JAK-STAT pathway [21]. SNPs in PTPRD gene have also been associated with diabetes [22,23] and plasma homocysteine levels [24].…”
