摘要
In 30 patients with essential hypertension and 30 healthy control subjects, we evaluated blood concentrations of B cell leukemia-2 (bcl-2), a protooncogene that can reduce apoptosis. Bcl-2 concentrations were higher in hypertensive than in normotensive subjects. The increase in pressure due to a cold presser test caused a further increase in blood bcl-2 concentrations, in both hypertensive and normotensive subjects. Treatment of hypertensive patients with hypotensive drugs caused a reduction in bcl-2 concentrations, which was more marked after administration of lisinopril than of nifedipine, The results suggest that concentrations of bcl-2 are increased in patients with hypertension, which could be an important factor in cell proliferation underlying posthypertensive vascular remodeling. Moreover, lisinopril and nifedipine appear to be capable of reducing bcl-2 concentrations, with potentially beneficial effects on vascular modifications in patients with hypertension.
