Aldosterone Regulates Vascular Gene Transcription via Oxidative Stress–Dependent and –Independent Pathways

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: Aldosterone (Aldo) antagonism prevents cardiovascular mortality by unclear mechanisms. Aldo binds to the mineralocorticoid receptor (MR), a ligand-activated transcription factor, which is expressed in human vascular cells. Here we define the early Aldo-regulated vascular transcriptome and investigate the mechanisms of gene regulation by Aldo in the vasculature that may contribute to vascular disease....
