The mineralocorticoid receptor-p38MAPK-NFκB or ERK-Sp1 signal pathways mediate aldosterone-stimulated inflammatory and profibrotic responses in rat vascular smooth muscle cells

Abstract: Aim: To explore the signalling pathways involved in aldosterone-induced inflammation and fibrosis in rat vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). Methods: Using Western blotting and real-time RT-PCR, we investigated the effects of aldosterone on the expression of cyclooxygenase-2 (Cox-2) and IL-6, two important proinflammatory factors, and TGFβ1, a critical profibrotic factor, in VSMCs. Results: Aldosterone treatment significantly increased the expression of Cox-2 and IL-6 and activation of p38MAPK and NF-κB. The… Show more

“…As detailed below, activation of MR impacts on VSMC through ion channel regulation (McCurley et al, 2012;Tarjus et al, 2015a). MR activation in VSMC induces the expression of profibrotic markers (Jaffe and Mendelsohn, 2005;Kiyosue et al, 2011;Zhu et al, 2012;Calvier et al, 2013).…”

“…Expression and activity of Orai1 are up-regulated by the transcription [23]. Regulators of neralocorticoids [24,25]. In patients with non-ischemic cardiac disease and early chronic kidney disease high FGF23 plasma levels are associated with high plasma aldosterone concentrations [11].…”
