    • Activation of aldosterone/mineralocorticoid receptors (MR) has been implicated in vascular dysfunction of diabetes. Underlying mechanisms are elusive. Therefore, we investigated the role of Rho kinase (ROCK) in aldosterone/MR signaling and vascular dysfunction in a model of diabetes. Diabetic obese mice (db/db) and control counterparts (db/+) were treated with MR antagonist (MRA, potassium canrenoate, 30 mg/kg/day, 4 weeks) or ROCK inhibitor, fasudil (30 mg/kg/day, 3 weeks). Plasma aldosterone was increased in db/db versus db/+. This was associated with enhanced vascular MR signaling. Norepinephrine (NE)-induced contraction was increased in arteries from db/db mice. These responses were attenuated in mice treated with canrenoate or fasudil. Db/db mice displayed hypertrophic remodeling and increased arterial stiffness, improved by MR blockade. Vascular calcium sensitivity was similar between depolarized arteries from db/+ and db/db. Vascular hypercontractility in db/db mice was associated with increased myosin light chain phosphorylation and reduced expression of PKG-1 alpha. Vascular RhoA/ROCK signaling and expression of pro-inflammatory and pro-fibrotic markers were exaggerated in db/db mice, effects that were attenuated by MRA. Fasudil, but not MRA, improved vascular insulin sensitivity in db/db mice, evidenced by normalization of Irs1 phosphorylation. Our data identify novel pathways involving MR-RhoA/ROCK-PKG-1 that underlie vascular dysfunction and injury in diabetic mice.
