[Proteomic analysis of proteins involved in the renal phenotype in renovascular hypertension].

Abstract excerpt

Renovascular hypertension is characterised by stenosis of the renal artery and high plasma renin levels due to the recruitment of renin-producing cells along the afferent arterioles. This increase in myoepithelioid cells is mainly a result of the differentiation of existing smooth muscle cells with acquisition of a secretory phenotype. To understand the molecular mechanisms involved in this recruitment, we used...
