Abstract:Hypertension is a major risk factor for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Persistently elevated blood pressure can cause damage to target organs such as heart, brain and kidney, and even lead to myocardial infarction, heart failure, intracerebral hemorrhage, cerebral infarction and renal failure and other complications, which are severely detrimental to human health. Calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR), a member of the G protein-coupled receptor family, plays an important role in biological processes such as cell proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis. CaSR has been found to be closely related to cardiovascular diseases including myocardial infarction and cardiomyopathy. CaSR may affect blood pressure by regulating parathyroid hormone, renal reabsorption, structure and function of vascular smooth muscle, and olfactory sensory nerves, further triggering myocardial hypertrophy and apoptosis, cardiac fibroblast proliferation, cellular phenotypic transformation and matrix metalloproteinase secretion, ultimately leading to ventricular remodeling and vascular remodeling. Therefore, this article reviews the research progress of CaSR in hypertension and target organ damage, so as to provide a theoretical basis for the study on the role and mechanism of CaSR in hypertension and its complications.
