BACKGROUND: Resistant hypertension (RHTN) and target organ damage are linked to increased inflammatory biomarkers, which may regulate adhesion molecules, such as intracellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1); vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1); and the platelet (P-selectin) and endothelial (E-selectin) selectins. We investigated a previously unknown relationship between soluble P-selectin (sP-selectin), E-selectin (sE-selectin), ICAM-1 (sICAM-1) and VCAM-1 (sVCAM-1) with RHTN and target organ damage. METHODS AND RESULTS: We included 110 subjects diagnosed for true RHTN and 112 mild-moderate hypertensive (HTN) patients. Blood pressure parameters, pulse wave velocity and left ventricular mass index (LVMI) were measured. Adhesion molecules were measured on ELISA. Both sP-selectin and sE-selectin were increased; in contrast, sICAM-1 was reduced in RHTN compared with HTN patients, while similar sVCAM-1 was noted in the groups. sP-selectin and sVCAM-1 were elevated in the presence of arterial stiffness (sP-selectin: 104±47 vs. 89±45 ng/ml, P<0.05; sVCAM-1: 1,189±411 vs. 1,060±412 ng/ml, P<0.05) and cardiac hypertrophy (sP-selectin: 105±51 vs. 88±43 ng/ml, P<0.05; sVCAM-1: 1,170±433 vs. 1,040±383 ng/ml, P<0.05) in all HTN patients. sP-selectin was associated with target organ damage after adjustment for age and BP. Apart from potential confounders, sE-selectin was a significant indicator of RHTN. CONCLUSIONS: The adhesion molecule sP-selectin plays a role in cardiovascular damage, and sE-selectin in resistance to antihypertensive therapy. (Circ J 2016; 80: 1196-1201).
