Conditional deletion of the glucocorticoid receptor in vascular smooth muscle disrupts the circadian rhythm of vascular reactivity and reduces blood pressure
Glucocorticoids synchronise peripheral clocks with the master clock in the suprachiasmatic nucleus in response to the ambient light cycle. In humans and mice, arrhythmic glucocorticoids induce non‐dipping blood pressure and vascular dysfunction. The mechanisms of this are poorly understood. We hypothesize that arrhythmic activation of the glucocorticoid receptor attenuates the circadian clock signalling in the vasculature leading to changes in blood pressure. To test this hypothesis, we assessed vascular function and blood pressure rhythms in control mice and mice with smooth muscle specific deletion of the glucocorticoid receptor (SMGRKO). Renal and mesenteric arteries were isolated at 7am (ZT0; lights on) and 7pm (ZT12; lights off), mounted on a wire myograph and the responses to increasing doses of phenylephrine or sodium nitroprusside (SNP) assessed. In wild‐type mice, the sensitivity of the renal artery to phenylephrine‐mediated contraction was greater at ZT12 than at ZT0, by comparing the half maximal effective concentration of each group, (logEC50:7.54±0.26 versus 7.29±0.17 respectively; p=0.04). The sensitivity to SNP‐mediated relaxation was also greater when measured at ZT12 compared to ZT0 (7.64±0.3 versus 7.09±0.5; p=0.03). Similar responses were also detected in the mesenteric arteries. In SMGRKO mice, the temporal differences in renal and mesenteric artery vascular reactivity were absent. We used radiotelemetry to assess the effect of this altered rhythm of vascular reactivity on blood pressure. SMGRKO had significantly lower systolic blood pressure throughout the 24h cycle compared to wild‐type littermates, both when lights were off (107.9 ± 22.13 versus 136.3 ± 17.17 mmHg respectively; p=0.015) and during the lights on period (99.6 ± 13.16 versus 118 ± 15.9 mmHg; p=0.014). Blood pressure rhythmicity was not altered in SMGRKO mice. These data show that the glucocorticoid receptor signalling in vascular smooth muscle contributes both to the diurnal variation of vascular reactivity and to blood pressure, but loss of the receptor does not affect blood pressure rhythm. Whether glucocorticoid receptor deletion in smooth muscle protects against non‐dipping blood pressure induced by glucocorticoids needs further investigation..
