In favor of this model, genome-wide DNA methylation profiling of endothelial cells treated with TNF and different (-)-epicatechin metabolites revealed specific DNA methylation changes in gene networks controlling cell adhesion-extravasation endothelial hyperpermeability as well as gamma-aminobutyric acid, renin-angiotensin and nitric oxide hypertension pathways.
When administered in a rat model of placental ischemia, SynB1-ELP-p50i partially ameliorated placental ischemia-induced hypertension and reduced placental TNF-α levels with no signs of toxicity.
The present study further investigated whether inhibition of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) or tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) blocks sensitization of ANG II hypertension in offspring of HFD dams.
Chemokines such as C-C motif chemokine ligand 2 (CCL2), and pro-inflammatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin 1 beta (IL-1β), are upregulated both peripherally and centrally in hypertension.
In present study, we demonstrated that the plasma level of inflammatory cytokine including HMGB1, interleukin 1β (IL-1β), interleukin 6 (IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) were elevated in hypoxia-induced pulmonary hypertension rats model.
Hypertension (p = 0.005), ARB application (p = 0.014), ZCCHC14 level (p < 0.001), TNF-α (p < 0.001), IL-6 (p < 0.001), and IL-10 (p < 0.001) were found to be different between ICH patients and healthy controls.
The concentrations of CTX (266.61 ± 64.65 vs 293.09 ± 72.34 vs 235.48 ± 62.85, P < 0.05), IL-6 (44.36 ± 6.45 vs 48.05 ± 8.04 vs 39.06 ± 7.95, P < 0.05) and TNF-α (30.53 ± 6.28 vs 34.52 ± 7.15 vs 28.66 ± 6.19, P < 0.01) in the hypertension group and in the H-type hypertension group were significantly higher than those in the osteoporosis group.
Given that adipocytokines may play an important role in the pathophysiology of high blood pressure (HBP) and because related reports in children are scarce and controversial, we evaluated the relationship of leptin, resistin, tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-6, adiponectin, and interferon-γ with HBP.<b>Materials and Methods</b>.
Central Inhibition of Tumor Necrosis Factor Alpha Reduces Hypertension by Attenuating Oxidative Stress in the Rostral Ventrolateral Medulla in Renovascular Hypertensive Rats.
Endothelin-1 (ET-1), N-terminal fragment of pro-atrial natriuretic peptide (NTpro-ANP), and tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) in children with primary hypertension and hypertension of renal origin.
The TNF and TNFR1 concentration in the serum and TNF in the 24-hour urine in the group of patients with arterial hypertension and organ damages and without such complications did not differ statistically significantly.We observed a positive and statistically significant correlation between TNFR1 concentration in the serum and TNF urine excretion in patients with hypertension (r = 0.369, P < .05)Patients with arterial hypertension are characterized by higher TNF concentrations in blood serum and higher TNF excretion in 24-hour urine than healthy persons.TNF and TNFR1 concentration in blood serum and TNF excretion in 24-hour urine in patients with early organ damages due to arterial hypertension do not differ significantly from those parameters in patients with arterial hypertension without organ complications.There is a positive correlation between TNFR1 concentration in the serum and TNF urine excretion in patients with hypertension.
The present study investigated whether angiotensin (Ang) II-elicited hypertensive response is sensitized in a model of PTSD and whether inhibition of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) or tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α prior to PTSD blocks this sensitization of Ang II hypertension.
Increased adipose cell size, hepatic fat deposition, malondialdehyde (MDA) content and NEFA level, down-regulation of IRS1, IRS2, PI3K, Akt, p-Akt, Glut2 and PGC1ɑ expression concomitant with up-regulation of mTOR, GSK3β, TNF-ɑ, FOXO1, p-mTOR and p-p70S6K expression in the liver tissue, as well as hypertension and left ventricular diastolic dysfunction were observed in HFC-fed minipigs.
At the time of admission, the levels of glucose in serum and APACHE II scores in the MSAP and SAP groups were significantly higher than those in the MAP group, but after treatment, the level of glucose in serum was recovered in 95.8% of the patients in the MAP group, while this digit in the SAP group remained to be 68.4%; in the SAP group, the levels of TNF-α and CRP in patients with sustained hypertension were significantly higher than those with non-persistent hypertension; in terms of the length of stay in hospital, the SAP group was shorter than that in the non-treatment group, and the difference had statistical significance (<i>p</i> < 0.05).
In baseline assessments from the CROSSROADS randomized controlled trial, serum interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNFα) and C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) were assayed in 163 older adults (37% males, 24% African American, BMI 34±3, age 70±5yrs) with hypertension, dyslipidemia and/or diabetes.
There is evidence that increased release of the pro-inflammatory cytokine tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) contributes to the development of the hypertension, but the underlying neural mechanisms are unclear.
Duration of DM, fasting plasma glucose (FPG), glycosylated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) and also levels of inflammatory cytokines (hs-CRP, TNF-α and IL-6) in the combination with hypertension group were all significantly higher than those in the non-combination with hypertension group (P<0.05).
In summary, AngII-induced hypertension associated with T. cruzi infection may act synergistically to increase TNF and CX3CL1 in the 2K1C rat model, thereby intensifying cardiac inflammatory infiltration and worsening the underlying inflammation triggered by this protozoan.
Also, treatment with EGb761 inhibited hypertension-induced decrease in endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) protein expression and increase in the protein expressions of inducible NO synthase (iNOS), TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1B in the kidney tissues.
We investigated the protective effect of erythropoietin against tissue damage caused by hypertension in the kidney and whether this effect was suppressed by TNF-α.
This study provides novel evidence that TNFα leads to endothelial dysfunction associated with hypertension and vascular remodeling in preeclampsia through down-regulation of endothelial nitric-oxide synthase (eNOS) by NF-κB-dependent biogenesis of microRNA (miR)-31-5p, which targets eNOS mRNA.
The blood pressure and urinary protein concentrations in the hypertension group were significantly higher than that in the control group, and the expression levels of IL-6 and TNF-α in the hypertension group were significantly higher (P<0.05).
