ABSTRACT
Hypertension is a global civilization disease and one of the most common causes of death in the world. Organ dysfunction is a serious health consequence of hypertension, which involves damage to the heart, kidneys and adrenals. The interaction of recently discovered multifunctional protein-CacyBP/SIP with ERK1/2 and p38 kinases by regulating the activity and intracellular localization of these kinases may play an important role in the signaling pathways involved in the pathogenesis of hypertension. Due to the lack of data on this subject, we decided to investigate the localization, expression and possible relationship between the studied parameters in the adrenals under arterial hypertension. The study was conducted on the adrenals of rats with spontaneous and DOCA-salt hypertension. The expression of CacyBP/SIP, p-ERK1/2 and p-p38 was detected by immunohistochemistry and qRT-PCR. The results show a statistically significant decrease in CacyBP/SIP expression in the adrenal glands of hypertensive rats. With ERK1/2, there was a decrease in cortical immunoreactivity and an increase in the adrenal medulla of primary hypertensive rats. In contrast, in the adrenals of DOCA-salt rats, ERK1/2 immunoreactivity increased in the cortex and decreased in the medulla. In turn, p38 expression was higher in the adrenal glands of rats with primary and secondary hypertension. The obtained results may suggest the involvement of CacyBP/SIP in the regulation of signaling pathways in which MAP kinases play an important role and provide new insight into molecular events in hypertension. Moreover, they show the participation of CacyBP/SIP in response to oxidative stress.
