To identify renally expressed genes that influence risk for hypertension, we integrated expression quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis of the kidney with genome-wide correlation analysis of renal expression profiles and blood pressure in recombinant inbred strains derived from the spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR). This strategy, together with renal transplantation studies in SHR progenitor, transgenic and congenic strains, identified deficient renal expression of Cd36 encoding fatty acid translocase as a genetically determined risk factor for spontaneous hypertension.
为了鉴定影响高血压风险的肾脏表达基因,我们将肾脏的表达定量性状位点(QTL)分析与来自自发性高血压大鼠(SHR)的重组近交系中肾脏表达谱和血压的全基因组关联分析相结合。该策略,连同对SHR祖系、转基因和近交系进行的肾移植研究,确定了编码脂肪酸转运蛋白的Cd36在肾脏中的表达缺陷是自发性高血压的一个遗传决定风险因素。
