Importantly, endothelial-enriched BACH1 knockdown restored retinal angiogenesis and significantly attenuated hypertension development in AngII-treated mice.<h4>Conclusion</h4>These findings identify BACH1 as a critical transcriptional regulator linking hypertension to impaired angiogenesis and suggest that targeting endothelial BACH1 may represent a potential therapeutic strategy for hypertension. The gene discussed is BACH1; the disease is Hypertension.
