Transforming growth factor-beta 1 hyperexpression in African-American hypertensives: A novel mediator of hypertension and/or target organ damage
Open accessAbstract
Hypertension, a remediable risk factor for stroke, cardiovascular disease, and renal failure, affects 50 million individuals in the United States alone. African Americans (blacks) have a higher incidence and prevalence of hypertension and hypertension-associated target organ damage compared with Caucasian Americans (whites). Herein, we explored the hypotheses that transforming growth factor-beta(1) (TGF-beta(1)) is hyperexpressed in hypertensives compared with normotensives and that TGF-beta(1) overexpression is more frequent in blacks compared with whites. These hypotheses were stimulated by our recent demonstration that TGF-beta(1) is hyperexpressed in blacks with end-stage renal disease compared with white end-stage renal disease patients and by the biological attributes of TGF-beta(1), which include induction of endothelin-1 expression, stimulation of renin release, and promotion of vascular and renal disease when TGF-beta(1) is produced in excess. TGF-beta(1) profiles were determined in black and white hypertensive subjects and normotensive controls and included circulating protein concentrations, mRNA steady-state levels, and codon 10 genotype. Our investigation demonstrated that TGF-beta(1) protein levels are highest in black hypertensives, and TGF-beta(1) protein as well as TGF-beta(1) mRNA levels are higher in hypertensives compared with normotensives. The proline allele at codon 10 (Pro(10)) was more frequent in blacks compared with whites, and its presence was associated with higher levels of TGF-beta(1) mRNA and protein. Our findings support the idea that TGF-beta(1) hyperexpression is a risk factor for hypertension and hypertensive complications and provides a mechanism for the excess burden of hypertension in blacks.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
