This study was designed to investigate the relationship between apoptosis and hypertrophy in cardiomyocytes from the left ventricle of spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). In addition, we evaluated whether the development of cardiomyocyte apoptosis is related to blood pressure or to the activity of the local angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) in SHR. The study was performed in 16-week-old SHR, 30-week-old untreated SHR, and 30-week-old SHR treated with quinapril (10 mg \u00b7 kg\n            <jats:sup>\u22121<\/jats:sup>\n            \u00b7 d\n            <jats:sup>\u22121<\/jats:sup>\n            ) during 14 weeks before they were killed. Cardiomyocyte apoptosis was assessed by direct immunoperoxidase detection of digoxigenin-labeled 3\u2032-hydroxyl ends of DNA. Nuclear polyploidization measured by DNA flow cytometry was used to assess cardiomyocyte hypertrophy. Compared with 16-week-old normotensive Wistar-Kyoto rats, 16-week-old SHR exhibited increased blood pressure (\n            <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n            &lt;.001), increased rate of tetraploidy (\n            <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n            &lt;.05), and similar levels of ACE activity and apoptosis. Compared with 30-week-old Wistar-Kyoto rats, 30-week-old SHR showed increased blood pressure (\n            <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n            &lt;.001), increased ACE activity (\n            <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n            &lt;.05), increased rate of tetraploidy (\n            <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n            &lt;.01), and increased apoptosis (\n            <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n            &lt;.01). Untreated 30-week-old SHR exhibited similar values of blood pressure and tetraploidy and higher ACE activity (\n            <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n            &lt;.05) and apoptosis (\n            <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n            &lt;.001) than 16-week-old SHR. A direct correlation (\n            <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n            &lt;.01) was found between ACE activity and the apoptotic index in untreated 30-week-old SHR. The long-term administration of quinapril was associated with the normalization of ACE activity and apoptosis in treated SHR. These results suggest that the timing and mechanisms responsible for apoptosis and hypertrophy of cardiomyocytes are different in SHR. Whereas hypertrophy seems to be an earlier alteration that develops in parallel with hypertension, apoptosis develops later in association with overactivity of the local ACE. Our data suggest that cell death dysregulation may be a novel target for antihypertensive agents that interfere with the renin-angiotensin system in hypertension.\n          <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1161\/01.hyp.30.5.1029","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,6,12]],"date-time":"2012-06-12T00:53:46Z","timestamp":1339462426000},"page":"1029-1034","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1161\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":86,"title":["Cardiomyocyte Apoptosis and Cardiac Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme in Spontaneously Hypertensive Rats"],"prefix":"10.1161","volume":"30","author":[{"given":"Javier","family":"Di\u0301ez","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Vascular Pathophysiology Unit, School of Medicine (J.D., M.H., M.A.F.), and the Department of Pathology, University Clinic, School of Medicine (A.P., F.V., I.S., J.P.), University of Navarra, Pamplona, and the Department of Medicine, School of Medicine, University of Zaragoza (J.D.), Spain."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Angel","family":"Panizo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Vascular Pathophysiology Unit, School of Medicine (J.D., M.H., M.A.F.), and the Department of Pathology, University Clinic, School of Medicine (A.P., F.V., I.S., J.P.), University of Navarra, Pamplona, and the Department of Medicine, School of Medicine, University of Zaragoza (J.D.), Spain."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Marta","family":"Herna\u0301ndez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Vascular Pathophysiology Unit, School of Medicine (J.D., M.H., M.A.F.), and the Department of Pathology, University Clinic, School of Medicine (A.P., F.V., I.S., J.P.), University of Navarra, Pamplona, and the Department of Medicine, School of Medicine, University of Zaragoza (J.D.), Spain."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Francisco","family":"Vega","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Vascular Pathophysiology Unit, School of Medicine (J.D., M.H., M.A.F.), and the Department of Pathology, University Clinic, School of Medicine (A.P., F.V., I.S., J.P.), University of Navarra, Pamplona, and the Department of Medicine, School of Medicine, University of Zaragoza (J.D.), Spain."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Iosu","family":"Sola","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Vascular Pathophysiology Unit, School of Medicine (J.D., M.H., M.A.F.), and the Department of Pathology, University Clinic, School of Medicine (A.P., F.V., I.S., J.P.), University of Navarra, Pamplona, and the Department of Medicine, School of Medicine, University of Zaragoza (J.D.), Spain."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mari\u0301a Antonia","family":"Fortun\u0303o","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Vascular Pathophysiology Unit, School of Medicine (J.D., M.H., M.A.F.), and the Department of Pathology, University Clinic, School of Medicine (A.P., F.V., I.S., J.P.), University of Navarra, Pamplona, and the Department of Medicine, School of Medicine, University of Zaragoza (J.D.), Spain."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Javier","family":"Pardo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Vascular Pathophysiology Unit, School of Medicine (J.D., M.H., M.A.F.), and the Department of Pathology, University Clinic, School of Medicine (A.P., F.V., I.S., J.P.), University of Navarra, Pamplona, and the Department of Medicine, School of Medicine, University of Zaragoza (J.D.), Spain."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_1_1_2","first-page":"199","volume":"9","year":"1994","unstructured":"Bennett MR, Evan GI.
