“… 11 Hypertension is closely related to reduced endothelial homeostasis. 33 Endothelial cell is a main component of vasculature and is able to regulate vascular homeostasis by modulating processes of vascular dilation, blood pressure regulation, and chemical cytokines and chemical mediators. 34 In addition, Tian et al use the HUVECs to investigate the function of miR-199a-5p in EH.…”

Purpose Essential hypertension (EH) is an intricate non-communicable infirmity and lncRNAs are validated as essential mediators in EH. The study aimed to propose the expression pattern of FENDRR and miR-423-5p, substantiate the potential mechanism of FENDRR/miR-423-5p/Nox4 axis in EH. Patients and Methods The expression of FENDRR and miR-423-5p was evaluated by qRT-PCR and the clinical significance was explored by the ROC curve. Pearson correlation indicated the relationship between FENDRR and miR-423-5p. The function of FENDRR and miR-423-5p on HUVECs was clarified by CCK-8 assay, Transwell assay, and flow cytometry. Western blot was used to assess the relative protein expression of Nox4. Results FENDRR was highly expressed and miR-423-5p was lowly expressed in EH patients and a negative correlation between them was determined. FENDRR might serve as a predictive diagnosis in differentiating EH patients. Knockdown of FENDRR or overexpression of miR-423-5p showed expansionary effects in cell proliferation, cell migration, and inhibiting cell apoptosis. Meanwhile, miR-423-5p was determined as a target of FENDRR and mediated the function of FENDRR on HUVECs. Moreover, Nox4 is a down-streaming target gene of miR-423-5p. The protein expression of Nox4 was regulated by the alternation of miR-423-5p expression. Conclusion FENDRR played an energetic role in EH and contributed to HUVECs dysfunction by restricting cell proliferation, suppressing cell migration, and accelerating cell apoptosis by manipulating the miR-423-5p/Nox4 axis.

“…Endothelial dysfunction, in turn, contributes to the progression of hypertension [ 6 ]. Therefore, interventions to reduce cardiovascular risk, including anti-hypertensive therapy, will be more effective if they could concomitantly ameliorate vascular endothelial dysfunction [ 7 , 8 , 9 ].…”

Soluble Epoxide Hydrolase Inhibitor t-AUCB Ameliorates Vascular Endothelial Dysfunction by Influencing the NF-κB/miR-155-5p/eNOS/NO/IκB Cycle in Hypertensive Rats

Epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs), angiogenic mediators degraded by soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH), have been shown to exert beneficial effects on the cardiovascular system. The current study assessed the impact of increased EETs with an sEH inhibitor, t-AUCB, on two-kidney-one-clip (2K1C)-induced renovascular endothelial dysfunction, associated with hypertension, in rats. The hypertensive rats exhibited increased systolic blood pressure, reduced renal blood flow, impaired endothelium-dependent relaxation and eNOS phosphorylation in the renal arteries, elevated ROS production in the endothelium of the renal arteries, and decreased EET levels in plasma, the renal arteries, and endothelial cells; however, t-AUCB reversed all the deleterious effects. Moreover, we found that the stimulation of AMPK/UCP2 scavenged ROS and restored endothelial function in the renal arteries of hypertensive rats undergoing therapy with t-AUCB. In addition, we were the first to reveal the potential role of miR-155-5p in the occurrence and development of vascular endothelial dysfunction in hypertension. Importantly, t-AUCB recovered NO bioavailability by regulating the NF-κB/miR-155-5p/eNOS/NO/IκB cycle after the activation of AMPK/UCP2 and the subsequent inhibition of ROS in hypertensive rat renal artery endothelial cells. This study will provide evidence for this additional new mechanism, underlying the benefits of EETs and the related agents against hypertensive vasculopathy.

“…The incidence of hypertension increases each year, particularly among young people ( 4 ); however, its molecular mechanism of action remains unclear. As an important component of the blood circulation and immune system, vascular endothelial cells are widely involved in biological processes, including blood pressure regulation, blood vessel formation, anticoagulation, fibrinolysis and inflammation ( 5 – 7 ). Previous studies have demonstrated that vascular endothelial cell dysfunction serves an important role in the onset and development of hypertension ( 8 , 9 ).…”

The aim of the present study was to measure the expression of microRNA (miRNA)-506-3p in the peripheral blood of patients with hypertension and to determine the biological functions and mechanisms of action of miR-506-3p. A total of 61 patients with primary hypertension were included in the present study. Peripheral blood was collected from all patients, as well as 31 healthy subjects who were included in a control group. The expression of miR-506-3p in peripheral blood was determined by reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were transfected with miR-506-3p mimics or miR-506-3p inhibitor. The proliferation and migration of HUVECs were determined using cell-counting kit 8 and Transwell assays, respectively. The cell cycle and apoptosis of HUVECs were detected by flow cytometry. The expression of Beclin1 (BECN1) protein, a potential target of miR-506-3p, was measured using western blotting. A dual-luciferase reporter assay was performed to determine the interaction between BECN1 and miR-506-3p. It was demonstrated that miR-506-3p expression in the peripheral blood of patients with patients was upregulated and dependent on the severity of hypertension. miR-506-3p overexpression inhibited the proliferation and migration of HUVECs. In addition, miR-506-3p inhibited the transition from the G1 phase to the S-phase in HUVECs. Overexpression of miR-506-3p promoted the apoptosis of HUVECs. Notably, miR-506-3p downregulated the expression of BECN1 by directly binding to its 3′-untranslated region. The present study demonstrated that miR-506-3p expression is elevated in the peripheral blood of patients with hypertension and is associated with the severity of hypertension. By downregulating BECN1 expression, miR-506-3p aggravates injury in vascular endothelial cells by inhibiting the proliferation and migration of HUVECs, as well as promoting their apoptosis.
