Hyperactivity of presympathetic neurons in the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN) plays a key role in generating excess sympathetic output in hypertension. However, the mechanisms driving hyperactivity of PVN presympathetic neurons in hypertension are unclear. In this study, we determined the role of corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) in the PVN in augmented glutamatergic input, neuronal excitability and sympathetic outflow in hypertension. The number of CRF or c-Fos immunoreactive neurons and CRF/c-Fos double-labeled neurons in the PVN was significantly greater in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs) than in normotensive Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rats. Blocking glutamatergic input reduced the CRF-potentiated excitability of spinally projecting PVN neurons. Furthermore, CRF knockdown via Crispr/Cas9 in the PVN decreased the frequencies of spontaneous firing and miniature excitatory postsynaptic currents (mEPSCs) in spinally projecting PVN neurons in SHRs. In addition, the mRNA and protein levels of CRFR1, but not CRFR2, in the PVN were significantly higher in SHRs than in WKY rats. Blocking CRFR1 with NBI-35965, but not blocking CRFR2 with Antisauvagine-30, reduced the frequencies of spontaneous firing and mEPSCs of spinally projecting PVN neurons in SHRs. Also, microinjection of NBI-35965 into the PVN significantly reduced arterial blood pressure (ABP) and renal sympathetic nerve activity (RSNA) in anesthetized SHRs, but not in WKY rats. However, microinjection of Antisauvagine-30 into the PVN had no effect on ABP or RSNA in WKY rats and SHRs. Our findings suggest that endogenous CRF in the PVN potentiates glutamatergic input and firing activity of PVN presympathetic neurons via CRFR1, resulting in augmented sympathetic outflow in hypertension.

D003346 Corticotropin-Releasing Hormone A peptide of about 41 amino acids that stimulates the release of ADRENOCORTICOTROPIC HORMONE. CRH is synthesized by neurons in the PARAVENTRICULAR NUCLEUS of the HYPOTHALAMUS. After being released into the pituitary portal circulation, CRH stimulates the release of ACTH from the PITUITARY GLAND. CRH can also be synthesized in other tissues, such as PLACENTA; ADRENAL MEDULLA; and TESTIS.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement.

D013564 Sympathetic Nervous System The thoracolumbar division of the autonomic nervous system. Sympathetic preganglionic fibers originate in neurons of the intermediolateral column of the spinal cord and project to the paravertebral and prevertebral ganglia, which in turn project to target organs. The sympathetic nervous system mediates the body's response to stressful situations, i.e., the fight or flight reactions. It often acts reciprocally to the parasympathetic system.
