Morpho-functional remodelling of the adult zebrafish (Danio rerio) heart in response to waterborne angiotensin II exposure.

Angiotensin II (AngII), the principal effector of the Renin-Angiotensin System, is a pluripotent humoral agent whose biological actions include short-term modulations and long-term adaptations. In fish, short-term cardio-tropic effects of AngII are documented, but information on the role of AngII in long-term cardiac remodelling is not fully understood. Here, we describe a direct approach to disclose long-term morpho-functional effects of AngII on the zebrafish heart. Adult fish exposed to waterborne teleost analogue AngII for 8 weeks showed enhanced heart weight and cardio-somatic index, coupled to myocardial structural changes (i.e. augmented compacta thickness and fibrosis), and increased heart rate. These findings were paralleled by an up-regulation of type-1 and type-2 AngII receptors expression, and by changes in the expression of GATA binding protein 4, nuclear factor of kappa light polypeptide gene enhancer in B-cells 1 and superoxide dismutase 1 soluble mRNAs, as well as of cytochrome b-245 beta polypeptide protein, indicative of cardiac remodelling. Our results suggest that waterborne AngII can sustain and robustly affect the cardiac morpho-functional remodelling of adult zebrafish.
