- W2041889948 abstract "The mineralocorticoid receptor (MR), a member of the steroid receptor family, regulates blood pressure by mediating the effects of the hormone aldosterone (Aldo) on renal sodium handling. Over the past decade, it has become clear that MR is expressed in the cardiovascular system and interest has grown in understanding the direct role of the MR in regulating vascular function and contributing to cardiovascular disease. This interest stems from multiple clinical studies in which drugs that decrease MR activation also reduce the incidence of heart attacks, strokes, and mortality out of proportion to modest changes in systemic blood pressure. The presence of functional mineralocorticoid receptors in vascular smooth muscle and endothelial cells is now well established and, while still controversial, data supports the vasculature as an Aldo-responsive tissue. This review summarizes recent advances in our understanding of the role of vascular MR in regulating normal vascular function and in promoting vascular disease. In vitro data, in vivo animal studies, and human data are reviewed suggesting a role for MR-activation in promoting vascular oxidative stress, inhibiting vascular relaxation, and contributing to vessel inflammation, fibrosis, and remodeling. These detrimental vascular effects of MR activation appear to be independent of changes in blood pressure and are synergistic with the presence of endothelial dysfunction or damage. Thus, in humans with underlying cardiovascular disease or cardiovascular risk factors, vascular MR activation may promote vascular aging and atherosclerosis thereby contributing to the pathophysiology of heart attack, stroke, and possibly even hypertension. Further exploration of the molecular mechanisms for the detrimental vascular effects of MR activation has the potential to identify novel therapeutic targets to prevent or treat common cardiovascular disorders." @default.
