This study demonstrated that CD8+, and not CD4+ T cells, were required for Ang II-induced hypertension. Furthermore, CD8mice were resistant to the antinatiuretic and antidiuretic effects of Ang II. 4.

Hypertension 2014; 63:797-803. This study showed that the DOCA-salt model of hypertension altered the Th17/Treg ratio, and inhibition of IL-17 reduced arterial hypertension and prevented cardiac remodeling. 7.

This article highlights that the sex differences observed in hypertension may be because of difference in T cell function, since transfer of male, but not female, T cells recapitulated Ang II-induced hypertensi on in Rag1mice.
