Popis: Chronic inflammation has been implicated in the pathology of hypertension; however, the role for specific cytokines remains unclear. We tested whether tumor necrosis factor-α blockade with etanercept (Etan) reduces mean arterial pressure in a female mouse model of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). SLE is a chronic inflammatory disorder with prevalent hypertension. Thirty-week–old SLE (NZBWF1) and control mice (NZW/LacJ) received Etan (0.8 mg/kg SC weekly) for 4 weeks or vehicle. Mean arterial pressure (in millimeters of mercury) was increased in SLE mice (150±5 versus 113±5 in controls; P P P + cell staining (in percentage of area) was elevated in SLE mice (4.75±0.80 versus 0.79±0.12 in controls; P P
