| Research Abstract |
To elucidate a role of intracellular signal transmission in hypertensive heart disease is important to understand pathological conditions of heart failure and to apply to treatment.
1)Cardioprotective effects of betaxolol (a β blocker) and quinapril (an ACE inhibitor) on intracellular signal transmission in Dahl salt sensitive hypertensive rats (Dahl rats ; hypertrophy stage) were examined. Cardiac function and remodeling were improved by these agents and cardioprotective effects of these agents may be mediated by increased expression of eNOS and suppressed expression of LOX-1. Eplerenone (a selective aldosterone antagonist) improved renal glomerular sclerosis index in Dahl rats (hypertrophy stage) by inhibiting pathways of PKC-MAPK-p90RSK and Rho-kinase.
2)In Dahl salt sensitive hypertensive heart failure rats, FR167653 (a p38MAPK inhibitor) ameliorated renal damage as well as inhibited renal expression of Il-1β and TNF-α. Thus, cytokines' expression induced by a MAPK pathway may be involved in renal damage in hypertensive heart failure. Eplerenone improved cardiac function and remodeling in hypertensive heart failure and these cardioprotective effects of eplerenone may be mediated by increased expression of eNOS induced by a Akt/PKB pathway, suppressed iNOS induced by a oxidative stress and NF-κB pathway, and inhibition of a PKC/Src/EPK/p70S6K pathway.
