Trans-ancestry meta-analyses identify rare and common variants associated with blood pressure and hypertension

Praveen Surendran, +209 more
- 01 Oct 2016 - 
TL;DR: Thirty new blood pressure– or hypertension-associated genetic regions in the general population are identified, including 3 rare missense variants in RBM47, COL21A1 and RRAS with larger effects than common variants.
Journal ArticleDOI

Differential effects of stable prostacyclin analogs on smooth muscle proliferation and cyclic AMP generation in human pulmonary artery.

TL;DR: UT-15 produced a significantly larger and more sustained increase in cAMP compared with other analogs, with iloprost being the weakest elevator, and PGI(2) analogs potently inhibit proliferation of human pulmonary artery, probably via a cAMP-dependent pathway, although cAMP elevation in itself is not a good predictor of antiproliferative potency.
Journal ArticleDOI

Heterotrimeric G proteins precouple with G protein-coupled receptors in living cells.

TL;DR: It is suggested that GPCR dimers and the G protein heterotrimer are present at the cell membrane in the resting state in a pentameric complex.
Journal ArticleDOI

The large-conductance Ca2+-activated K+ channel is essential for innate immunity.

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that K+ crosses the membrane through large-conductance Ca2+-activated K+ (BKCa) channels, which are opened by the combination of membrane depolarization and elevated Ca 2+ concentration, both consequences of oxidase activity.
