- W3033762992 abstract "Accumulating evidence has revealed an intricate role for the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) in the progression or alleviation of stress-related disorders. Along these lines, the ‘pro-stress’ actions of angiotensin-II (Ang-II) are largely thought to be mediated by the angiotensin type-1a receptor (AT1aR). On the other hand, a counter regulatory limb of the RAS that depends on the conversion of Ang-II to angiotensin-(1–7) by angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) has been postulated to exert stress-dampening actions. We have previously found that augmenting ACE2 activity is potently anxiolytic and blunts stress-induced activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis in male mice. Whether increasing ACE2 activity also relieves stress and anxiety in females has not yet been determined. Consequently, this series of experiments tests the hypothesis that augmenting ACE2 expression is anxiolytic and dampens the activity of the HPA axis in female mice. Using the Cre-LoxP system, we generated female mice that were homo-, heterozygous or wild-type for a mutated allele resulting in ubiquitous overexpression of ACE2. Next, we used qPCR to determine that levels of ACE2 mRNA isolated from central and peripheral tissues was dependent on genotype. That is, mice homo- and heterozygous for the ACE2 overexpression had significantly greater levels of ACE2 mRNA relative to littermate matched wild-type controls. Interestingly, anxiety-like behavior as determined by the elevated plus maze, light-dark box and novelty-induced hypophagia tests was also affected by genotype. Specifically, ACE2 overexpression significantly decreased anxiety-like behavior in paradigms dependent on approach-avoidance conflict and novelty; however, locomotor activity was similar amongst the genotypes. Final experiments measured plasma corticosterone to evaluate whether increasing ACE2 alters basal and/or stress-induced HPA axis activity. In contrast to what was previously found in males, increasing ACE2 expression had no effect on plasma corticosterone under basal conditions or subsequent to an acute restraint challenge. Collectively, these results suggest that increasing ACE2 expression potently elicits anxiolysis in female mice without altering HPA axis activity." @default.
