Circulating DNA and mRNA for 11beta-hydoxysteroid dehydrogenase (HSD) type II were measured in patients with hypertension and in healthy subjects. DNA and RNA levels in hypertensive patients and controls were quantified using real-time RT-PCR. Messenger RNA for 11beta-HSD type II was significantly lower in the hypertensive patients (median: 0.18) (P= 0.032) than in healthy subjects (median: 0.42). Plasma DNA was also significantly lower (P= 0.016) in hypertension. It is suggested that measurement of mRNA for 11beta-HSD type II in hypertension may identify subjects who may be salt-sensitive.
在高血压患者和健康受试者中测量了循环DNA以及11β-羟类固醇脱氢酶(HSD)Ⅱ型的mRNA。使用实时逆转录聚合酶链反应(RT-PCR)对高血压患者和对照组中的DNA和RNA水平进行定量。高血压患者中11β-HSDⅡ型的信使RNA水平(中位数:0.18)(P = 0.032)显著低于健康受试者(中位数:0.42)。高血压患者的血浆DNA水平也显著降低(P = 0.016)。提示在高血压患者中测量11β-HSDⅡ型的mRNA可能有助于识别对盐敏感的个体。
