Evidence for glucocorticoid-mediated hypertension after uninephrectomy
Recently, evidence was presented that uninephrectomy induces salt-sensitive hypertension in rats. The increase in blood pressure was abrogated by a mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist but not by an aldosterone synthase inhibitor. Here, we hypothesize that mineralocorticoid receptor activation occurred by an 11beta-hydroxy-glucocorticosteroid, as a consequence of dysregulated 11beta-hydroxyste...
متن کاملGlucocorticoid hypertension and nonadrenal phenylethanolamine N-methyltransferase.
Several drugs that block epinephrine synthesis by inhibiting phenylethanolamine N-methyltransferase (PNMT) lower blood pressure in hypertensive rats. We investigated the mechanism by which these drugs lower blood pressure in rats made hypertensive with the glucocorticoid dexamethasone. We performed adrenalectomy or sham operation on several rats and then gave them either dexamethasone chronical...
متن کاملSynergistic induction of promoters containing metal- and glucocorticoid-responsive elements.
We have shown that it is possible to synergistically activate gene transcription when several glucocorticoid responsive elements (GREs) and metal responsive elements (MREs) that coexist within the same promoter are induced simultaneously. To demonstrate this, additional GREs were introduced into a human metallothionein IIA (hMT-IIA) promoter in which some constitutive elements had been deleted....
متن کاملProgesterone-responsive Osteoprogenitors Are Regulated by Estrogen and Distinct from Glucocorticoid-responsive Osteoprogenitors
Postmenopausal bone loss is clearly associated with a deficiency of sex steroids (1), and estrogen replacement therapy prevents it (2). Progesterone (Prog) deficiency could also be a factor, and Prog replacement therapy has indeed been shown to prevent postmenopausal bone loss and bone loss associated with ovarian dysfunction (3). In the osteoprogenitor assay system that we developed, morpholog...
متن کاملMutations of glucocorticoid responsive element of HBV DNA.
The mutation of glucocorticoid responsive element (GRE) of HBV DNA obtained from a patient with chronic hepatitis B was evaluated. This patient showed fatal course by glucocorticoid administration. The HBV DNA from this patient (GRE-M) and two patients with HBeAg positive chronic hepatitis B (GRE-W1,2) whose HBV DNA have few mutations, were examined. The 212 bp region from nt.274 to nt.485 (GRE...
