Pharmacological Exploitation of ACE2 Mechanism

, 2022
Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) or human homologue of ACE was first described in 2000. Although ACE2 is related to angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), it is not inhibited by ACE inhibitors. The major function of ACE2 is to degrade angiotensin II,

Alamandine/MrgD pathway modulates gut–bone marrow axis in ageing

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Purpose Ageing is associated with colon epithelial barrier disruption and up‐regulation of myelopoiesis in the bone marrow (BM). Alamandine (Ala) and MrgD are novel members of the renin angiotensin system (RAS). This study tested the hypothesis that Ala restores the colon epithelial barrier integrity in ageing via modulating gut–

Portal pressure responses and angiotensin peptide production in rat liver are determined by relative activity of ACE and ACE2

, 2009
Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) 2 activity and angiotensin-(1-7) [Ang-(1-7)] levels are increased in experimental cirrhosis; however, the pathways of hepatic Ang-(1-7) production have not been studied.

Unmasking the Influence of Viral Micro‐RNAs on Host Immunity

Immunology &Cell Biology, EarlyView.
Viral micro‐RNAs are increasingly recognized as key modulators of host–virus interactions. They influence multiple immune functions, including antigen presentation, T‐cell activation, and cytokine signaling, while also tuning viral gene expression to promote persistence.

Oral Health, Periodontitis, and Respiratory Diseases: Biological Pathways

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
This narrative review aims to provide a comprehensive update on the potential mechanisms by which poor oral health and periodontitis impact lung health, focusing on pneumonia, COPD, and asthma. ABSTRACT Poor oral hygiene and periodontitis influence lung diseases such as pneumonia, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), COVID‐19, and asthma.

Viruses, Periodontitis, and Systemic Diseases

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
This narrative review aimed to summarize current evidence on the viral involvement in periodontitis and its relevance for systemic diseases. The oral cavity acts as an active viral reservoir and dissemination platform, where virus–microbiome interactions may promote dysbiosis, periodontitis progression, and systemic inflammatory effects, while the ...
