Genetic and endocrine control of renin activity in the submaxillary gland of the mouse

Biochemical Genetics

Abstract

Basal activity of submaxillary gland (SMG) renin is high in female mice that carry the Rnrs allele and is induced to higher levels by treatment with dihydrotestosterone (DHT). To determine whether the difference in basal activity between high (Rnrs/Rnrs) and low (Rnrb/Rnrb) strains is due to enhanced sensitivity of Rnrs/Rnrs strains to endogenous androgen, we first studied the effect of several types of endocrine ablation on SMG renin in young female mice, and second, we removed normal androgen receptor protein by introducing the X-linked Tfm gene. Adrenalectomy with or without castration had no effect on basal SMG renin; hypophysectomy decreased basal renin activity 400-fold but did not abolish responsiveness to DHT. Loss of androgen receptor did not affect basal renin activity but did prevent enhancement by DHT. Basal and induced renin activities in L.AKR(Alll)/Cy, a congenic strain homozygous for Rnrs introduced from AKR/J into the background of C57L/J, an Rnrb/Rnrb type strain, are intermediate between levels observed in the original strains. We conclude that (1) the basal level of SMG renin is regulated directly or indirectly by some pituitary hormone(s) but not by androgen, (2) androgen induction of renin activity require...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
