摘要
Hypertension and vascular injury usually require prolonged treatment, and compliance is a key to efficacy for pharmacologically-based antihypertensive therapy. Gene therapy has the potential to be long lasting, with few side effects. Recent studies have provided promising results, in which hypertension can be treated by either augmentation of vasodilation or inhibition of vasocon-striction through gene transfer in experimental models. Gene transfer is also becoming useful for the study of mechanisms of physiologic and pathophysiologic conditions, including hypertension. In this mini-review, we summarize some recent studies in this area of research, and suggest some areas where progress is needed t advance the research toward gene therapy.
