Epigenetic upregulation of carotid body angiotensin signaling increases blood pressure

Fengli Zhu, Zhuqing Wang, Kayla Davis, Hayden McSwiggin, Jekaterina Zyuzin, Jie Liu, Wei Yan, Virender Kumar Rehan, Nicholas Gregory Jendzjowsky

This study shows perinatal nicotine exposure increases DNA methylation in the angiotensin II type 1 receptor gene in carotid bodies, enhancing angiotensin signaling and leading to hypertension.
