Role of arterial telomere dysfunction in hypertension
31 Mar 2014
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Telomere shortening in arteries could lead to telomere uncapping and cellular senescence, which in turn could promote the development of hypertension. METHODS AND RESULTS: To assess the novel role of arterial telomere dysfunction in hypertension, we compared mean telomere length (qPCR), telomere uncapping (serine 139 phosphorylated histone γ-H2A.X (γ-H2) localized to telomeres: ChIP), and tumor...
