Journal ArticleDOI

Endothelin stimulates c-fos and c-myc expression and proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells.

TL;DR: This work has shown that a potent vasoconstrictor peptide, endothelin (EDT), was isolated from vascular endothelial cells and stimulated the DNA synthesis of VSMCs in a dose‐dependent manner, which might be related to the development of atherosclerosis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies identifies common variants associated with blood pressure variation in east Asians

TL;DR: A meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies of systolic (SBP) and diastolic (DBP) blood pressure in 19,608 subjects of east Asian ancestry followed up with de novo genotyping and further replication in east Asian samples provides new insights into blood pressure regulation and potential targets for intervention.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hemodynamic shear stress stimulates endothelin production by cultured endothelial cells

TL;DR: A possible role for hemodynamic shear stress in the regulation of endothelin production in vascular endothelial cells is suggested.
Journal ArticleDOI

Transforming growth factor-β stimulates the expression of endothelin mRNA by vascular endothelial cells

TL;DR: Results suggest that TGF-beta 1, secreted by activated platelets, is involved not only in wound healing, but in the regulation of local vascular tone by stimulating endothelin production in the endothelial cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Trans-ancestry genome-wide association study identifies 12 genetic loci influencing blood pressure and implicates a role for DNA methylation

TL;DR: The trans-ancestry genome-wide association and replication study of blood pressure phenotypes among up to 320,251 individuals of East Asian, European and South Asian ancestry finds genetic variants at 12 new loci to be associated with blood pressure, providing new evidence for the role of DNA methylation in blood pressure regulation.
