    Abstract Purposeof review: Female sex hormones have systemic effects unrelated to their reproductive function. We describe experiences of different research groups and our own, on aspects related to the importance of female sex hormones on blood pressure (BP) regulation and salt-sensitivity-mediated BP response and salt sensitivity without alterations in BP, as well as renal sodium handling and interactions with the immune system.
    Recent findings: Changes in sodium intake in normotensive premenopausal women cause more BP variations than in men. After menopause, women often develop arterial hypertension (HT) with a profile of sodium sensitivity. Besides, experimental results have shown that in adult rat models resembling the postmenopausal hormonal state induced by ovariectomy, controlling BP is not enough to avoid renal and other tissue infiltration with immune cells, which does not occur when sodium intake is low or normal. Therefore, excess sodium promotes an inflammatory state with the involvement of immune cells. The evidence of activation of adaptive immunity, besides changes in T cell subpopulations, includes changes in sodium transporters and receptors. More studies are needed to evaluate the particular sodium sensitivity of women and its meaning. Changes in lifestyle and sodium intake reduction are the main therapeutic steps. However, to face the actual burden of salt-sensitive HT in postmenopausal women and its associated inflammatory/immune changes, it seems reasonable to work on immune cell activity by considering the peripheral blood mononuclear cell phenotypes of molecules and transport proteins related to sodium handle, both to screen for and treat cell activation.

    Abstract Nuclear receptor coactivator 3 (NCoA3) is a transcriptional coactivator of NF‑κB and other factors, which is expressed at relatively low levels in normal cells and is amplified or overexpressed in several types of cancer, including breast tumors. NCoA3 levels have been shown to be decreased during adipogenesis; however, its role in tumor‑surrounding adipose tissue (AT) remains unknown. Therefore, the present study assessed the modulation of NCoA3 in breast cancer‑associated adipocytes and evaluated its association with the expression of inflammatory markers. 3T3‑L1 adipocytes were stimulated with conditioned medium from human breast cancer cell lines and the expression levels of NCoA3 were evaluated by reverse transcription‑quantitative (q)PCR. NF‑κB activation was measured by immunofluorescence, and tumor necrosis factor and monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 levels were analyzed by qPCR and dot blot assays. The results obtained from the

    Title translation Female hormones in renal physiology. Salt sensitivity and regulation of epithelial proliferation.
    Abstract Female sex hormones participate in the regulation of blood pressure and renal epithelial proliferation, effects not related to their reproductive function. About one-third of the world's population has abnormally high levels of blood pressure, hypertension, which is responsible for almost 50% of deaths from stroke and coronary heart disease. Salt sensitivity is a risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality and other diseases as well. We reported a model of salt sensitive hypertension in adult ovariectomized (oVx) Wistar rats. oVx rats are normotensive under normal salt intake (NS, 0.24% NaCl), but upon a high salt intake (HS, 1% NaCl) oVx rats developed a blood pressure profile of salt-sensitive hypertension. Our studies on kidney molecules related to sodium balance found that the circuit dopamine D1-like receptor, cytochrome P450 4A and Na+, K+-ATPase is altered by the absence of ovary hormones which is accompanied by a reduced ability to excrete sodium. In oVx rats HS intake also promotes changes in the expression of proteins related to sodium transport in peripheral blood mononuclear cells, mainly peripheral lymphocytes. Therefore, sodium transport is modified at several levels of normal physiology. Lately, we described that estradiol increases the rate of renal epithelial cell proliferation in primary cultures developed from human renal cortex. Thus, salt sensitivity, adaptive immunity, blood pressure and renal cell proliferation are complex biological responses regulated by female sex hormones.

    Abstract New findings: What is the central question of this study? In a model of salt-sensitive hypertension in ovariectomized (oVx) adult Wistar rats, what is the expression of proteins related to sodium transport in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), and how does the response of proteins to high sodium intake compare with changes in blood pressure in intact female rats? What is the main finding and its importance? Sodium transport proteins in PBMCs react to high sodium and blood pressure markedly differently in oVx versus intact female rats. Protein expression shows sodium and pressure sensitivity. Renal immune cells increase in oVx under high salt.
    Abstract: Hypertension is a worldwide public health problem. High sodium consumption is associated with hypertension, and hypertensive mechanisms involve immunity cells. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) are endowed with proteins related to sodium transport. We studied their abundance in PBMCs from intact (IF) or ovariectomized (oVx) adult Wistar rats under normal (NS) or high (HS) salt intake. Ovariectomy was performed at 60 days of life. At 145 days, one group of IF and oVx rats received NS or HS intake for 5 days. Another group of IF HS and oVx HS rats received hydralazine (HDZ) to reduce blood pressure (BP). Sodium balance and BP were recorded. Expression of Na

    Abstract This work was aimed to determine the effect of 17β-estradiol (17βE) on cell proliferation in human renal tubular epithelial cells (HRTEC) isolated from kidneys from pediatric subjects, as well as the role of estrogen receptors involved in the 17βE proliferative response. Treatment with 17βE (10 nmol/L, 24 h) significantly stimulated cell proliferation, measured by 5-bromo-2-deoxyuridine (BrdU) uptake, in HRTEC primary cultures and in tubular structures obtained by 3D cultured-HRTEC. Incubation of HRTEC with the G protein-coupled estrogen receptor 1 (GPER-1) agonist G-1 increased BrdU uptake. Incubation of HRTEC with 17βE activated the classic estrogen receptor alpha (ERα) but not ERβ. Treatment of HRTEC with the GPER-1 antagonist G-15, the ER inhibitor ICI182,780, or the β-catenin inhibitor iCRT14, completely abrogated the increase in BrdU uptake induced by 17βE. We also show that 17βE stimulated β-catenin protein expression and translocation to the nucleus of HRTEC, effects that were abrogated by G-15 and ICI 182,780. In conclusion, estradiol stimulates cell proliferation in HRTEC primary cultures through both ERα and GPER-1 estrogen receptors and involves β-catenin activation.
