Abstract

In the brain, angiotensinogen (AGT) is primarily expressed in astrocytes; brain ANG II derived from locally produced AGT has been shown to influence blood pressure. To better understand the molecular basis of AGT expression in the brain, we identified a human astrocytoma cell line, CCF-STTG1, that expresses endogenous AGT mRNA and produces AGT protein. Studies examining CCF-STTG1 cell AGT after N- and O-glycosidase suggest that AGT may not be posttranslationally modified by glycosylation in these cells as it is in plasma. Small amounts of AGT (5% of HepG2) were detected in the culture medium, suggesting a low rate of AGT secretion. Immunocytochemical examination of AGT in CCF-STTG1 cells revealed mainly nuclear localization. Although this has not been previously reported, it is consistent with nuclear localization of other serpin family members. To examine this further, we generated a fusion protein consisting of green fluorescent protein (GFP) and human AGT and examined subcellular localization by confocal microscopy after confirming expression of the fusion protein by Western blot. In CCF-STTG1 cells, a control GFP construct lacking AGT was mainly localized in the cytoplasm, whereas the GFP-AGT fusion protein was primarily lo...Continue Reading
