Several studies have observed that angiotensin II promotes inflammation and tissue injury, mediating key events in animal models of autoimmune disease (Marchesi, Paradis, & Schiffrin, 2008; Okunuki et al., 2009; Platten et al., 2009; Sagawa, Nagatani, Komagata, & Yamamoto, 2005; Stegbauer et al., 2009). The gene discussed is AGT; the disease is autoimmune disease.
