Expression of the mouse ren-2 gene in the small intestine is regulated by food intake

Abstract: The existence of a local renin/angiotensin system in the intestine of mammals is speculative despite the known importance of angiotensin II for water and electrolyte homeostasis. We demonstrate the presence of ren-2 transcripts in the small intestine of DBA/2 mice. The marked expression of the ren-2 gene is blunted tissue-specifically by starvation, corroborating a local renin/angiotensin system in this organ.

“…1989;Morishita et al 1991), but is stimulated by AII, possibly via a novel action involving a nuclear receptor for this peptide (Eggena et al 1993). The intestine also contains renin mRNA (Seo et al 199 I), which is suppressed by starvation (Zhao et al 1993). Another site in which renin mRNA has been detected is the eye, particularly in the ciliary body, iris and retina, and possibly in blood vessels (Brandt et al 1994).…”
