Project description:Background: Hypertension is one of the most common metabolic diseases in the elderly and its pathogenesis is associated with microbiota dysbiosis. Recent evidence suggests that oral microbiota dysbiosis is also an important factor in the development of hypertension. However, the relationship between hypertension and oral flora in the elderly has not been adequately investigated. Objective: The aim of this cross-sectional study was to investigate the structure of the oral microbiota and its correlation with hypertension in elderly hypertensive patients. To provide new ideas for the prevention and treatment of hypertension. Methods: 206 subjects aged 60 ~ 89 years were selected and divided into normal (CON) and hypertensive (HTN) groups, according to the 2018 Chinese Guidelines for the Management of Hypertension. The oral microbiome composition of saliva samples was determined by 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Results: Although there was no significant difference in α and β diversity between the two groups, systolic and diastolic blood pressure were the most important factors influencing the structure of the oral microbiota. At the phylum level, the relative abundance of the spirochete phylum and the mutualistic bacterial phylum was higher in the HT group than in the CON group (p < 0.05). Diastolic blood pressure was negatively correlated with Streptococcus. Furthermore, we analyzed HTN patients with 120 mmHg<systolic blood pressure<160 mmHg and systolic blood pressure>160 mmHg separately and found that the abundance of Saccharibacteria_(TM7) was significantly increased in the HTN_2 group. Conclusions: Our study identified specific oral microbiota in elderly hypertensive patients, confirming the relationship between oral microbiota and hypertension. This enhances our understanding of the important role of oral microbiota in the pathogenesis of hypertension and accumulates more evidence for microbial involvement in the development of hypertension.

Project description:To evaluate the specific changes that renal LECs undergo in hypertension (HTN), we performed single-cell RNA sequencing. Using the angiotensin II-induced and salt-sensitive mouse models of HTN, we isolated renal CD31+ and podoplanin+ cells from hypertensive and normotensive mice. Sequencing of these cells revealed three distinct cell types (LECs, myeloid immune cells, and an unusual third population we dubbed multipotent nephron-associated support cells) with unique expression profiles.

Project description:Non-enzymatic activation of renin via its interaction with prorenin receptor (PRR) has been proposed as a key mechanism of local renin-angiotensin system (RAS) activation. The presence of renin and angiotensinogen has been reported in the rostral ventrolateral nucleus (RVLM). Overactivation of bulbospinal neurons RVLM is linked to hypertension (HTN). Previous studies have shown that the brain RAS plays a role in the pathogenesis of the deoxycorticosterone (DOCA)-salt HTN model. Thus, we hypothesized that PRR in the RVLM is involved in the local activation of the RAS, facilitating the development of DOCA-salt HTN. Selective PRR ablation targeting the RVLM (PRRRVLM-Null mice) resulted in an unexpected sex-dependent and biphasic phenotype in DOCA-salt HTN. That is, PRRRVLM-Null females (but not males) exhibited a significant delay in achieving maximal pressor responses during the initial stage of DOCA-salt HTN. Female PRRRVLM-Null subsequently showed exacerbated DOCA-salt-induced pressor responses during the “maintenance” phase with a maximal peak at 13 days on DOCA-salt. This exacerbated response was associated with an increased sympathetic drive to the resistance arterioles and the kidney, exacerbated fluid and sodium intake and output in response to DOCA-salt, and induced mobilization of fluids from the intracellular to extracellular space concomitant with elevated vasopressin. Ablation of PRR suppressed genes involved in RAS activation and catecholamine synthesis in the RVLM but also induced expression of genes involved in inflammatory responses. This study illustrates complex and sex-dependent roles of PRR in the neural control of BP and hydromineral balance through autonomic and neuroendocrine systems.

Project description:We here test the concept that disease states may result not from a single cause but from small changes in a network that are collectively significant. We recently showed that development of hypertension (HTN) in the spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR) model of human essential hypertension is accompanied by changes in microRNA expression levels in the brainstem tracking the development of HTN 1,2. This led to the hypothesis that preventing the change in microRNA levels could prevent the development of HTN. We propose that hypertension emerges from a network that has been pushed out of a normotensive equilibrium into a compensatory, pathological state. We show that small perturbations in the gene regulatory networks in the brainstem by selectively blocking two microRNAs highlighted in our previous results, miR-135a and miR-376a, is sufficient to prevent development of hypertension in the SHR model with a 38% reduction in blood pressure after one week persisting to 29% reduction after two weeks with no change in blood pressure in WKY controls at either timepoint. This effect appears driven by only modest, yet sometimes significant, changes in the expression of rate-limiting genes including IL1a, IL1b, Agtr1a, and Dbh among others. Many of these genes are direct targets of these miRNAs, suggesting that the combination of genes that are targeted in the network is responsible for the effect. The demonstration that hypertension is an emergent property of an underlying regulatory network suggests that a new treatment paradigm altogether is needed.

Project description:Increased plasma uric acid (hyperuricemia) has been associated with worse outcomes for chronic kidney disease (CKD). But some attempts to control uric acid (UA) in large-cohort clinical trials did not produce clinically meaningful benefits for CKD. Some studies suggest that only hyperuricemia with crystals, but not asymptomatic hyperuricemia promotes the progression of CKD. Salt-sensitivity (SS) in blood pressure is a prevalent trait that is sexually dimorphic and results in kidney damage. But the connection between hyperuricemia and SS hypertension (HTN) is still unclear. Here we tested the connection between the two using both male and female Dahl SS rats, a well-establish model of SS HTN. We hypothesized that mild asymptomatic hyperuricemia is beneficial in controlling the progression of SS HTN. A uricase inhibitor, oxonic acid (2%) (Oxo) was used to induce hyperuricemia and high-salt (HS) (4% NaCl) diet was used to induce SS HTN. After 3 weeks, in response to oxonic acid supplementation, both sexes showed a significant increase of UA in plasma compared to their respective HS-only controls (Males: 0.63 ±0.07 vs. 2.17 ±0.34; Females: 0.78 ±0.15 vs. 2.04 ±0.35 mg/dl, HS vs. HS/oxo). Interestingly, only male HS/oxo rats showed a significant increase in uricosuria (Males: 0.23 ±0.03 vs. 0.45 ±0.06; Femaels: 0.26 ±0.06 vs. 0.26 ±0.001 UA/Cre, HS vs. HS/oxo). Moreover, the mild hyperuricemia was associated with a significant attenuation of the progression and magnitude of the mean arterial pressure in male but not female rats (Males: 157 ±3 vs. 136 ±3; Females: 155 ±6 vs. 154 ±5 mmHg, HS vs. HS/oxo). Xanthine oxidase (XO) is one of the enzymes that produce UA, and its activity has been shown to affect HTN as well. Therefore, we examined the level of XO activity in the plasma after the treatment. While there was no difference in the activity based on the diet within each sex, females had significantly lower levels of XO activity compared to males in each of the diets. To further investigate the beneficial phenotype seen in male rats, we evaluate changes in the progression of renal pathology. The HS/oxo group compared to the HS group had a lower kidney weight/body weight ratio and lower protein cast accumulation, indicating lower kidney damage. Furthermore, the HS/Oxo treated males had less oxidative damage in their tubules than the HS-only males. Bulk-RNA seq done on the male kidneys revealed that attenuated HTN phenotype was associated with an increased expression in Mas1 (MAS receptor), Klk-1 (Kallikrein-1), and Pcsk6 (PCSK6 enzyme) which can all lead to the activation of different vasodilatory pathways. Our study showed that in male but not female Dahl SS rats, asymptomatic mild hyperuricemia accompanied by hyperuricosuria ameliorates the progression of SS HTN and protects kidneys from further damage. Thus, our findings challenge the notion of hyperuricemia being inherently detrimental to health and highlight that this is an oversimplified view of UA’s role in disease.
