BACKGROUNDA silent polymorphism (+1166 A/C single-nucleotide polymorphism) localized in the 3'-UTR (untranslated region) of the human angiotensin II type-1 receptor (AT1R) has been associated with hypertension and cardiovascular complications. The +1166 A/C is recognized by a specific microRNA-155 (miR-155), which is base-pairing complementary with the +1166 A-allele but not with the mutant +1166 C allele. Aim of our study was to investigate the interplay between miR-155 and AT1R protein expression.METHODSSixty-four subjects were selected for the +1166 A/C from the cohort of hypertensives (n = 573) of the Hypertension and Ambulatory Recording Venetia Study (HARVEST): 25 were homozygous for the 1166 A allele, 20 heterozygous, and 19 homozygous for the 1166C allele.RESULTSmiR-155 expression was significantly decreased in subjects with CC genotype in comparison to AA and AC genotype. AT1R protein expression was significantly increased in the CC group in comparison to AA and AC (P
