We
previously reported increased monocyte/macrophage infiltration,
reactive oxygen species accumulation, and nuclear factor-
B (NF-
B)
activation in mineralocorticoid (deoxycorticosterone acetate [DOCA])
hypertensive rats. We tested the hypothesis that prolonged antioxidant
administration inhibits superoxide accumulation, lowers blood pressure,
and reduces NF-
B activation in DOCA-salt hypertensive rats. DOCA
rats exhibited a significant increase in systolic blood
pressure compared with sham rats. Aortic rings from DOCA rats exhibited
increased superoxide
(O2-)
production compared with sham rats. In addition, the treatment
of DOCA rats with pyrrolidinedithiocarbamate (PDTC) or
4-hydroxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethyl piperidinoxyl (Tempol) caused a
significant decrease in systolic blood pressure and aortic
superoxide accumulation. Monocyte/macrophage infiltration was
also significantly decreased in DOCA rats treated with PDTC or Tempol
compared with untreated DOCA rats. NF-
Bbinding activity was
significantly greater in untreated DOCA rats than in either sham rats
or PDTC- or Tempol-treated DOCA rats. Also, DOCA rats treated with
Tempol exhibited no significant difference in NF-
Bbinding activity
compared with sham. These results suggest that antioxidants attenuate
systolic blood pressure, suppress renal NF-
Bbinding
activity, and partly alleviate renal monocyte/macrophage
infiltration in DOCA-salt hypertension.
Key Words: Tempol pyrrolidinedithiocarbamate hypertension, mineralocorticoid nuclear factor-
B monocyte/macrophage
