The effects of intracerebroventricular (ICV) injection of angiotensin II (ANG II) on blood pressure and water intake were examined with the use of ANG II receptor-deficient mice. ICV injection of ANG II increased systolic blood pressure in a dose-dependent manner in wild-type (WT) mice and ANG type 2 AT(2) receptor null (knockout) (AT(2)KO) mice; however, this increase was significantly greater in AT(2)KO mice than in WT mice. The pressor response to a central injection of ANG II in WT mice was inhibited by ICV preinjection of the selective AT(1) receptor blocker valsartan but exaggerated by the AT(2) receptor blocker PD-123319. ICV injection of ANG II also increased water intake. It was partly but significantly suppressed both in AT(2)KO and AT(1)aKO mice. Water intake in AT(2)/AT(1)aKO mice did not respond to ICV injection of ANG II. Both valsartan and PD-123319 partly inhibited water intake in WT mice. These results indicate an antagonistic action between central AT(1)a and AT(2) receptors in the regulation of blood pressure, but they act synergistically in the regulation of water intake induced by ANG II.
