The mineralocorticoid receptor ( MR) is important for salt homeostasis and reno-cardiovascular pathophysiology. Signaling mechanisms include, besides classical genomic pathways, nongenomic pathways with putative pathophysiological relevance involving the mitogen-activated protein kinases ERK1/2. We determined the MR domains required for nongenomic signaling and their potential to elicit pathophysiological effects in cultured cells under defined conditions. The expression of full-length human MR or truncated MR consisting of the domains CDEF (MRCDEF), DEF (MRDEF), or EF (MREF) renders cells responsive for the MR ligand aldosterone with respect to nongenomic ERK1/ 2 phosphorylation, whereas only full-length MR and MRCDEF conferred genomic responsiveness. ERK1/ 2 phosphorylation depends on the EGF receptor and cSRC kinase. MREF expression is sufficient to evoke the aldosterone-induced increase of collagen III levels, similar to full-length MR expression. Our data suggest that nongenomic MR signaling is mediated by the EF domains and present the first proof of principle showing that nongenomic signaling can be sufficient for some pathophysiological effects. The minimum amino acid motif required for nongenomic MR signaling and its importance in various effects have yet to be determined.
