Changes in renal WT-1 expression preceding hypertension development
BACKGROUND Hypertension is a public health problem with mostly unknown causes, and where strong hereditary genetic alterations have not been fully elucidated. However, the use of experimental models has provided valuable information. Recent evidences suggest that alterations in key nephrogenic factors, such as Wilms' tumor 1 transcription factor (WT-1), could contribute to the development of hy...
متن کاملRenal Changes in Hypertension *
It is customary, in dealing with the problem of hypertension, to divide it roughly into two groups-"primary" or "essential" hypertension, and "renal" hypertension, the latter being secondary to diseases of the urinary system. This group comprises not only states of renal insufficiency due to glomerular and tubular injury, but also a variety of extra-renal conditions which may lead to urinary re...
متن کاملChronology of blood pressure changes in renal hypertension induced by solid plexiglass clips in the rat
The objective of this study was to determine the chronology of changes in blood pressure in renalhypertension induced by solid plexiglass clips in rats. Saw blades with the thickness of 0.21-0.22 mm wereused to make clips sized 4 × 2 × 2 mm from a piece of 2-mm thick plexiglass. Rats were subjected to shamoperation or left renal arterial clipping, and 1, 2, 3 and 4 weeks later blood pressure, a...
متن کاملRegional differences in WT-1 and Tcf21 expression during ventricular development: implications for myocardial compaction
BACKGROUND Morphological and functional differences of the right and left ventricle are apparent in the adult human heart. A differential contribution of cardiac fibroblasts and smooth muscle cells (populations of epicardium-derived cells) to each ventricle may account for part of the morphological-functional disparity. Here we studied the relation between epicardial derivatives and the develop...
متن کاملSex-dependent hypertension and renal changes in aged rats with altered renal development.
Numerous studies have evaluated blood pressure (BP) and renal changes in several models of developmental programming of hypertension. The present study examined to what extent BP, renal hemodynamic, and renal structure are affected at an old age in male and female animals with altered renal development. It also evaluated whether renal damage is associated with changes in cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 ...
