Angiotensin II (Ang II) type 2 (AT(2)) receptors are abundantly expressed not only in the fetal brain where they probably contribute to brain development, but also in pathological conditions to protect the brain against stroke; however, the detailed mechanisms are unclear. Here, we demonstrated that AT 2 receptor signaling induced neural differentiation via an increase in MMS2, one of the ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme variants. The AT(2) receptor, MMS2, Src homology 2 domain-containing protein-tyrosine phosphatase 1 (SHP-1), and newly cloned AT(2) receptor-interacting protein ( ATIP) were highly expressed in fetal rat neurons and declined after birth. Ang II induced MMS2 expression in a dose-dependent manner, reaching a peak after 4 h of stimulation, and this effect was enhanced with AT(1) receptor blocker, valsartan, but inhibited by AT(2) receptor blocker PD123319. Moreover, we observed that an AT 2 receptor agonist, CGP42112A, alone enhanced MMS2 expression. Neurons treated with small interfering RNA of MMS2 failed to exhibit neurite outgrowth and synapse formation. Moreover, the increase in AT(2) receptor-induced MMS2 mRNA expression was enhanced by overexpression of ATIP but inhibited by small interfering RNA of SHP-1 and overexpression of catalytically dominant-negative SHP-1 or a tyrosine phosphatase inhibitor, sodium orthovanadate. After AT(2) receptor stimulation, ATIP and SHP-1 were translocated into the nucleus after formation of their complex. Furthermore, increased MMS2 expression mediates the inhibitor of DNA binding 1 proteolysis and promotes DNA repair. These results provide a new insight into the contribution of AT 2 receptor stimulation to neural differentiation via transactivation of MMS2 expression involving the association of ATIP and SHP-1.
