Abstract

Nuclear factor kappa B NF-kappaB participates in hypertension-induced vascular and target-organ damage. We tested whether or not endothelial cell-specific NF-kappaB suppression would be ameliorative. We generated Cre/lox transgenic mice with endothelial cell-restricted NF-kappaB super-repressor IkappaBalphaDeltaN Tie-1-DeltaN mice overexpression. We confirmed cell-specific IkappaBalphaDeltaN expression and reduced NF-kappaB activity after TNF-alpha stimulation in primary endothelial cell culture. To induce hypertension with target-organ damage, we fed mice a high-salt diet and Nomega-nitro-l-arginine-methyl-ester L-NAME and infused angiotensin Ang II. This treatment caused a 40-mm Hg blood pressure increase in both Tie-1-DeltaN and control mice. In contrast to control mice, Tie-1-DeltaN mice developed a milder renal injury, reduced inflammation, and less albuminuria. RT-PCR showed significantly reduced expression of the NF-kappaB targets VCAM-1 and ICAM-1, compared with contr
