MicroRNAs and Adrenocortical Tumors: Where do we Stand on Primary
Aldosteronism?
Keyword(s):
AbstractMicroRNAs, the endogenous mediators of RNA interference, interact with the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, regulate aldosterone secretion and aldosterone effects. Some novel data show that the expression of some microRNAs is altered in primary aldosteronism, and some of these appear to have pathogenic relevance, as well. Differences in the circulating microRNA expression profiles between the two major forms of primary aldosteronism, unilateral aldosterone-producing adenoma and bilateral adrenal hyperplasia have also been shown. Here, we present a brief synopsis of these findings focusing on the potential relevance of microRNA in primary aldosteronism.
