Increases in interleukin 6 (IL-6) and agonistic autoantibodies to the angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT1-AA) are proposed to be important links between placental ischemia and hypertension in preeclampsia. METHODS: The purpose of this study was to determine whether IL-6 (5 ng/day), infused into normal pregnant (NP) rats, increased mean arterial pressure (MAP) and AT1-AA. MAP was analyzed in the presence and absence of an angiotensin type 1 receptor (AT1R) antagonist, losartan, L. RESULTS: MAP and AT1-AA increased from 102 ± 2 to 118 ± 4 mmHg and 0.7 ± 0.3 NP to 14.1 ± 1.4 chronotropic units with chronic IL-6 infusion. MAP responses to IL-6 were abolished in losartan pretreated rats (85 ± 4 in NP + L vs 85 ± 3 mmHg in IL-6 + L). CONCLUSION: These data indicate that IL-6 stimulates AT1-AA and that activation of the AT1R mediates IL-6 induced hypertension during pregnancy.
白细胞介素6(IL-6)的增加以及血管紧张素II 1型受体激动性自身抗体(AT1-AA)被认为是子痫前期胎盘缺血与高血压之间的重要联系。方法:本研究的目的是确定向正常妊娠(NP)大鼠输注IL-6(5纳克/天)是否会增加平均动脉压(MAP)和AT1-AA。在存在和不存在血管紧张素1型受体(AT1R)拮抗剂氯沙坦的情况下分析MAP。结果:慢性输注IL-6后,MAP从102±2 mmHg增加到118±4 mmHg,AT1-AA从0.7±0.3个变时单位增加到14.1±1.4个变时单位。氯沙坦预处理的大鼠对IL-6的MAP反应消失(NP + L组为85±4 mmHg,IL-6 + L组为85±3 mmHg)。结论:这些数据表明IL-6刺激AT1-AA,并且AT1R的激活介导了孕期IL-6诱导的高血压。
