# Defining renal S1P/sPRR/AT1R pathway  in salt-sensitive hypertension

> **NIH VA I01** · VA SALT LAKE CITY HEALTHCARE SYSTEM · 2021 · —

## Abstract

The important role of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system in the pathogenesis of
hypertension is highlighted by the wide use of its inhibitors for treatment of hypertension.
The current proposal will address the role of renal site-1 protease/soluble (pro)renin
receptor in pathogenesis of salt-sensitive hypertension. The proposal has the potential to
advance our understanding of the fundamental mechanism of hypertension and also to
identify a novel target for antihypertensive therapies.
