Do tET2 and CSMD1 genes affect SBP response to hydrochlorothiazide in never-treated essential hypertensives?
This exploratory study reports two plausible loci associated with SBP response to hydrochlorothiazide: TET2, an aldosterone-responsive mediator of αENaC gene transcription; and CSMD1, previously described as associated with hypertension in a case-control study.
These results showed that PC decreased SIRT1 levels in the lung correlated with enhanced responses to infectious or inflammatory stimuli in injured mice. Treatment of injured mice with a SIRT1 activator, resveratrol, decreased LPS inflammatory response and increased survival after CLP. Our results suggest that SIRT1 participates in the second-hit response after injury.
