Hypertension or high blood pressure (BP) is a prevalent and manageable chronic condition which is a significant contributor to the total global disease burden. Environmental chemicals, including mercury (Hg), may contribute to hypertension onset and development. Hg is a global health concern, listed by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a top ten chemical of public health concern.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major complication of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D), which often leads to diabetic kidney disease (DKD). Traditional therapies, including renin- angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitors and sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors, are effective in slowing CKD progression. However, these approaches are insufficient to comprehensively inhibit mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) overactivation in the kidneys, which remains a significant driver of inflammation, fibrosis, and oxidative stress.

As one of the most common air pollutants, fine particulate matter (PM) increases the risk of diseases in various systems, including the urinary system. In the present study, we exposed male and female C57BL/6J mice to PM for 8 weeks. Examination of renal function indices, including creatinine (CRE), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), uric acid (UA), and urinary microalbumin, indicated that the kidneys of female mice, not male mice, underwent early renal injury, exhibiting glomerular hyperfiltration.

Hypertension is a leading independent risk factor for the development of cardiovascular disease, the leading cause of death globally. Importantly, the prevalence of hypertension is positively correlated with obesity, with obesity-related hypertension being difficult to treat due to a lack of current guidelines in this population as well as limited efficacy and adverse off-target effects of currently available antihypertensive therapeutics. This highlights the need to better understand the mechanisms linking hypertension with obesity to develop optimal therapeutic approaches.
