RESUMO

Essential hypertension has a high prevalence worldwide and the has genetic and environment causes. Searching genetics correlation for hypertension, a potential role of DARC (Duffy Antigen Receptor of Chemokines) was described as an Interleukine-8 receptor in endothelium and that this interaction might contribute for the pathogenesis of pre-eclampsia. DARC is expressed in many tissues beyond the erythrocyte lineage, in special endothelium cells. DARC glycoprotein carries antigens determinants and is also Plasmodium vivax receptor, with a significantly biological relevance. This study had as objective to verify the phenotypic and genetic frequencies of the Duffy Blood Group System in patients with malignant hypertension and, to compare them with norm tension blood donors. Forty three patients from the Hypertension Service of the InCor of Clinical Hospital of School of Medicine of the University of São Paulo and 100 blood donors from Fundação Pró-Sangue/Hemocentro de São Paulo were studied. Duffy phenotyping and genotyping and IL-8 serum dosage was performed in all samples. Phenotyping tests were performed by tube technique. We studied the 125 G>A, 265 C>T, 298 G>A and -33 T>C mutations by PCR RFLP genotyping. The FYB-33 allele was the most observed in the malignant hypertension patients group with p= 0.0191. We have shown a correlation in high between high levels of IL-8 in patients with malignant hypertension and FYB-33/FYB-33 genotype (p=0,003). We observed also high levels of IL-8 in patients with malignant hypertension when the control group (blood donors) was compared, p<0.001. This results indicate that IL-8 has a potential role in malignant hypertension physiopathology due to an regulatory inhibitory effect in Duffy negative patients.
