Downregulation of Renal G Protein–Coupled Receptor Kinase Type 4 Expression via Ultrasound‐Targeted Microbubble Destruction Lowers Blood Pressure in Spontaneously Hypertensive Rats
BACKGROUND: G protein–coupled receptor kinase type 4 (GRK4) plays a vital role in the long‐term control of blood pressure (BP) and sodium excretion by regulating renal G protein–coupled receptor phosphorylation, including dopamine type 1 receptor (D(1)R). Ultrasound‐targeted microbubble destruction...

description | BACKGROUND: G protein–coupled receptor kinase type 4 (GRK4) plays a vital role in the long‐term control of blood pressure (BP) and sodium excretion by regulating renal G protein–coupled receptor phosphorylation, including dopamine type 1 receptor (D(1)R). Ultrasound‐targeted microbubble destruction (UTMD) is a promising method for gene delivery. Whether this method can deliver GRK4 small interfering RNA (siRNA) and lower BP is not known. METHODS AND RESULTS: BP, 24‐hour sodium excretion, and urine volume were measured after UTMD‐targeted GRK4 siRNA delivery to the kidney in spontaneously hypertensive rats. The expression levels of GRK4 and D(1)R were determined by immunoblotting. The phosphorylation of D(1)R was investigated using immunoprecipitation. The present study revealed that UTMD‐mediated renal GRK4 siRNA delivery efficiently reduced GRK4 expression and lowered BP in spontaneously hypertensive rats, accompanied by increased sodium excretion. The increased sodium excretion might be accounted for by the UTMD regulation of D(1)R phosphorylation and function in spontaneously hypertensive rats. Further analysis showed that, although UTMD had no effect on D(1)R expression, it reduced D(1)R phosphorylation in spontaneously hypertensive rats kidneys and consequently increased D(1)R‐mediated natriuresis and diuresis. CONCLUSIONS: Taken together, these study results indicate that UTMD‐targeted GRK4 siRNA delivery to the kidney effectively reduces D(1)R phosphorylation by inhibiting renal GRK4 expression, improving D(1)R‐mediated natriuresis and diuresis, and lowering BP, which may provide a promising novel strategy for gene therapy for hypertension. |
