    Abstract Salt-sensitive hypertension (SS-HT) is characterized by blood pressure elevation in response to high dietary salt intake and is considered to increase the risk of cardiovascular and renal morbidity. Although the mechanisms responsible for SS-HT are complex, the kidneys are known to play a central role in the development of SS-HT and the salt sensitivity of blood pressure (SSBP). Moreover, several factors influence renal function and SSBP, including the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, sympathetic nervous system, obesity, and aging. A phenotypic characteristic of SSBP is aberrant activation of the renin-angiotensin system and sympathetic nervous system in response to excessive salt intake. SSBP is also accompanied by a blunted increase in renal blood flow after salt loading, resulting in sodium retention and SS-HT. Obesity is associated with inappropriate activation of the aldosterone mineralocorticoid receptor pathway and renal sympathetic nervous system in response to excessive salt, and mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists and renal denervation attenuate sodium retention and inhibit salt-induced blood pressure elevation in obese dogs and humans. SSBP increases with age, which has been attributed to impaired renal sodium handling and a decline in renal function, even in the absence of kidney disease. Aging-associated changes in renal hemodynamics are accompanied by significant alterations in renal hormone levels and renal sodium handling, resulting in SS-HT. In this review, we focus mainly on the contribution of renal function to the development of SS-HT.

    Abstract Dietary salt intake increases blood pressure (BP) but the salt sensitivity of BP differs between individuals. The interplay of ageing, genetics and environmental factors, including malnutrition and stress, contributes to BP salt sensitivity. In adults, obesity is often associated with salt-sensitive hypertension. The children of women who experience malnutrition during pregnancy are at increased risk of developing obesity, diabetes and salt-sensitive hypertension as adults. Similarly, the offspring of mice that are fed a low-protein diet during pregnancy develop salt-sensitive hypertension in association with aberrant DNA methylation of the gene encoding type 1A angiotensin II receptor (AT

    Abstract A high amount of salt in the diet increases blood pressure (BP) and leads to salt-sensitive hypertension in individuals with impaired renal sodium excretion. Small guanosine triphosphatase (GTP)ase Rho and Rac, activated by salt intake, play important roles in the pathogenesis of salt-sensitive hypertension as key switches of intracellular signaling. Focusing on Rho, high salt intake in the central nervous system increases sodium concentrations of cerebrospinal fluid in salt-sensitive subjects via Rho/Rho kinase and renin-angiotensin system activation and causes increased brain salt sensitivity and sympathetic nerve outflow in BP control centers. In vascular smooth muscle cells, Rho-guanine nucleotide exchange factors and Rho determine sensitivity to vasoconstrictors such as angiotensin II (Ang II), and facilitate vasoconstriction via G-protein and Wnt pathways, leading to increased vascular resistance, including in the renal arteries, in salt-sensitive subjects with high salt intake. In the vascular endothelium, Rho/Rho kinase inhibits nitric oxide (NO) production and function, and high salt amounts further augment Rho activity via asymmetric dimethylarginine, an endogenous inhibitor of NO synthetase, causing aberrant relaxation and increased vascular tone. Rho-associated mechanisms are deeply involved in the development of salt-sensitive hypertension, and their further elucidation can help in developing effective protection and new therapies.

    Abstract Hypertension and its comorbidities pose a major public health problem associated with disease-associated factors related to a modern lifestyle, such high salt intake or obesity. Accumulating evidence has demonstrated that aldosterone and its receptor, the mineralocorticoid receptor (MR), have crucial roles in the development of salt-sensitive hypertension and coexisting cardiovascular and renal injuries. Accordingly, clinical trials have repetitively shown the promising effects of MR blockers in these diseases. We and other researchers have identified novel mechanisms of MR activation involved in salt-sensitive hypertension and renal injury, including the obesity-derived overproduction of aldosterone and ligand-independent signaling. Moreover, recent advances in the analysis of cell-specific and context-dependent mechanisms of MR activation in various tissues-including a classic target of aldosterone, aldosterone-sensitive distal nephrons-are now providing new insights. In this review, we summarize recent updates to our understanding of aldosterone-MR signaling, focusing on its role in salt-sensitive hypertension and renal injury.

    Abstract A high dietary sodium-consumption level is considered the most important lifestyle factor that can be modified to help prevent an increase in blood pressure and the development of hypertension. Despite numerous studies over the past decades, the pathophysiology explaining why some people show a salt-sensitive blood pressure response and others do not is incompletely understood. Here, a brief overview of the latest mechanistic insights is provided, focusing on the mononuclear phagocytic system and inflammation, the gut-kidney axis, and epigenetics. The article also discusses the effects of 3 types of novel drugs on salt-sensitive hypertension-sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors, nonsteroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists, and aldosterone synthase inhibitors. The conclusion is that besides kidney-centered mechanisms, vasoconstrictor mechanisms are also relevant for both the understanding and treatment of this blood pressure phenotype.
