- BACKGROUND: Our aim was to test the hypothesis that genes encoding components in the renin-angiotensin system influence endothelial vasodilatory function. METHODS: In 59 apparently healthy, normotensive individuals, endothelium-dependent vasodilation (EDV) and endothelial-independent vasodilation (EIDV) was evaluated by infusing metacholine and sodium nitroprusside into the brachial artery. Forearm blood flow was measured by venous occlusion plethysmography. The ACE insertion (I)/deletion (D) polymorphism, the T174M and M235T angiotensinogen restriction fragments length polymorphisms, the angiotensin II receptor type 1 (AT1R) A1166C, and the aldosterone synthase gene (CYP11B2) C-344T polymorphisms were analysed. RESULTS: When analysing the ACE, the two angiotensinogen and the aldosterone synthase CYP11B2 genotypes independently, no significant association with endothelial vasodilatory function was found. However, a significant reduction in endothelium-dependent vasodilation was observed in the subjects (n=9) with the ACE D allele and the angiotensinogen T174M genotype (P<0.05). Subjects with the AT1R genotype AC showed a reduction in both EDV (P=0.05) and EIDV (P=0.04) when compared with those with the AA genotype. CONCLUSIONS: The subjects with the ACE D allele in combination with the angiotensinogen T174M genotype are associated with a reduced EDV. This together with the observation that the AC AT1R genotype is associated with a reduction in both EDV and EIDV, supports the hypothesis that endothelial vasodilatory function is influenced by genes in the renin-angiotensinogen system.
