Abstract

Angiotensin (Ang) II induces hypertension by mechanisms mediated in part by adaptive immunity and T effector lymphocytes. T regulatory lymphocytes (Tregs) suppress T effector lymphocytes. We questioned whether Treg adoptive transfer would blunt Ang II–induced hypertension and vascular injury. Ten- to 12-week–old male C57BL/6 mice were injected IV with 3×10 5 Treg (CD4 + CD25 + ) or T effector (CD4 + CD25 − ) cells, 3 times at 2-week intervals, and then infused or not with Ang II (1 μg/kg per minute, SC) for 14 days. Ang II increased systolic blood pressure by 43 mm Hg ( P <0.05), NADPH oxidase activity 1.5-fold in aorta and 1.8-fold in the heart ( P <0.05), impaired acetylcholine vasodilatory responses by 70% compared with control ( P <0.05), and increased vascular stiffness ( P <0.001), mesenteric artery vascular cell adhesion molecule expression (2-fold; P <0.05), and aortic macrophage and T-cell infiltration ( P <0.001). All of the above were prevented by Treg but not T effector adoptive transfer. Ang II caused a 43% decrease in Foxp3 + cells in the renal cortex, whereas Treg adoptive transfer increased Foxp3 + cells 2-fold compared with control. Thus, Tregs suppress Ang II–mediated vascular injury in part through anti-inflammatory actions. Immune mechanisms modulate Ang II–induced blood pressure elevation, vascular oxidative stress, inflammation, and endothelial dysfunction.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
