Résumé
The mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist spironolactone lowers blood pressure in patients with resistant hypertension despite antihypertensive treatment with angiotensin-converting inhibitors (ACEi) and angiotensin-II receptor blockers (ARB). In preclinical studies, spironolactone suppresses pro-hypertensive interleukin 17A (IL-17A). Plasma samples were analysed from a randomized, double-blind placebo-controlled trial with spironolactone given to patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and resistant hypertension on three antihypertensive drugs. We tested the hypothesis that spironolactone-induced antihypertensive effects are associated with suppression of IL-17A and related cytokines. Interferon-γ (IFN-γ), IL-17A, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), IL-6, IL-1β and IL-10 were assessed in plasma with immunoassay in samples before and after 16 weeks of treatment with placebo or spironolactone (12.5-25-50 mg/day). Spironolactone significantly reduced plasma IFN-γ and IL-6 while IL-17A, TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-10 were unchanged. IL-6 was more sensitive to higher doses of spironolactone. At baseline, serum aldosterone correlated positively with diastolic night blood pressure. Urine albumin/creatinine-ratios correlated positively with plasma IL-6 at baseline. There were no relations between aldosterone and cytokine concentrations at baseline; between cytokine concentration and blood pressure at baseline; and between cytokine concentration decrease and blood pressure decrease, except for IFN-γ, after treatment. The spironolactone-induced elevation in plasma potassium related inversely to blood pressure but not to changes in cytokines. In macrophages in vitro, spironolactone suppressed lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1β and IL-10 levels. The antihypertensive action of spironolactone in resistant hypertensive patients is associated with suppressed IFN-γ and IL-6 and not IL-17A. Spironolactone exerts anti-inflammatory actions in vivo on macrophages and T-cells.

BACKGROUND
The mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist spironolactone lowers blood pressure in patients with resistant hypertension despite antihypertensive treatment with angiotensin-converting inhibitors (ACEi) and angiotensin-II receptor blockers (ARB). In preclinical studies, spironolactone suppresses pro-hypertensive interleukin 17A (IL-17A).
OBJECTIVES
Plasma samples were analysed from a randomized, double-blind placebo-controlled trial with spironolactone given to patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and resistant hypertension on three antihypertensive drugs. We tested the hypothesis that spironolactone-induced antihypertensive effects are associated with suppression of IL-17A and related cytokines.
METHODS
Interferon-γ (IFN-γ), IL-17A, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), IL-6, IL-1β and IL-10 were assessed in plasma with immunoassay in samples before and after 16 weeks of treatment with placebo or spironolactone (12.5-25-50 mg/day).
RESULTS
Spironolactone significantly reduced plasma IFN-γ and IL-6 while IL-17A, TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-10 were unchanged. IL-6 was more sensitive to higher doses of spironolactone. At baseline, serum aldosterone correlated positively with diastolic night blood pressure. Urine albumin/creatinine-ratios correlated positively with plasma IL-6 at baseline. There were no relations between aldosterone and cytokine concentrations at baseline; between cytokine concentration and blood pressure at baseline; and between cytokine concentration decrease and blood pressure decrease, except for IFN-γ, after treatment. The spironolactone-induced elevation in plasma potassium related inversely to blood pressure but not to changes in cytokines. In macrophages in vitro, spironolactone suppressed lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1β and IL-10 levels.
CONCLUSION
The antihypertensive action of spironolactone in resistant hypertensive patients is associated with suppressed IFN-γ and IL-6 and not IL-17A. Spironolactone exerts anti-inflammatory actions in vivo on macrophages and T-cells.
