Abstract

In the human body the mineralocorticoid aldosterone is responsible for maintaining water and electrolyte homeostasis and therefore controlling blood pressure. In addition, aldosterone has recently been associated with severe heart failure. Besides receptor-dependent action, the damaging effects of aldosterone may also be partly mediated through non-genomic mechanisms. The present study focuses on the mineralocorticoid receptor-independent action of aldosterone at the protein level. We chose the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe as a model organism, since this yeast does not contain nuclear steroid receptors, but many genes and regulatory mechanisms that are close to those of mammals. Using 2D-electrophoresis we identified for the first time protein spots affected by aldosterone in a nuclear receptor-free system. Mass spectrometry analysis using MALDI-TOF MS and nanoLC-MS/MS approaches allowed the unambiguous identification of 11 proteins that showed increased or decreased levels, which may represent newly identified players and pathways of aldosterone-induced action. Two proteins with a connection to osmotic regulation (NAD-dependent malic enzyme and glycerol-3-phosphate-dehydrogenase), as well as two proteins involved in the overall organization of the cytoskeleton, vip1 and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, which was also found to be specifically affected by aldosterone in human HCT116 cells, are discussed.
