Of the tissue and cell concordant mRNAs, CAND1 was found to be associated with hypertension, while IL1R1 was found to be associated with adhesion of neutrophils and fibrosis and IL1R1 in conjunction with TGM2 was associated with an overall inflammatory response, all of which are outcomes attributed to MWCNT exposure. This evidence concerns the gene CAND1 and Hypertension.
