Abstract:
BACKGROUND:Enhanced oxidative stress has been observed in hypertension, but the underlying mechanism has not been fully clarified. OBJECTIVE:To study the relationship between oxygen free radicals and hypertension, using platelets as a tool to measure the cellular production of superoxide anion (O2). DESIGN:Forty patients with hypertension were allocated randomly to groups to receive either irbesartan, an inhibitor of angiotensin II type 1 (AT1) receptors (n = 20), or a diuretic (hydrochlorothiazide) (n = 20). In each patient, collagen-induced production of O2 by platelets was studied before and after 4 weeks of treatment. Forty sex- and age-matched healthy individuals were studied as controls. METHODS:Platelet-produced O2 was measured using lucigenin chemiluminescence and hydroethidine cytofluorimetric analysis. RESULTS:Compared with healthy individuals, patients with hypertension showed a greater production of O2 by platelets (P < 0.001); there was no correlation between blood pressure and platelet O2 production. After treatment, no changes in platelet O2 formation were observed in patients receiving hydrochlorothiazide; conversely, those treated with irbesartan showed a significant (P < 0.001) decrease in platelet O2 production. At the end of the treatment, no differences in blood pressures were observed between the two groups. In-vitro incubation of platelets with angiotensin II elicited a significant increase in O2 (P < 0.001) that was dose-dependently inhibited by irbesartan and diphenylene iodonium, an inhibitor of NADPH oxidase. CONCLUSION:Patients with hypertension showed an enhanced formation of O2 in platelets that was not dependent on blood pressure but could be mediated by AT1 receptors via NADPH oxidase activation.
