Pharmacologic modulation of ACE2 expression [PDF]
Current Hypertension Reports, 2008 Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) is an enzymatically active homologue of angiotensin-converting enzyme that degrades angiotensin I, angiotensin II, and other peptides. Recent studies have shown that under pathologic conditions, ACE2 expression in the kidney is altered. In this review, we briefly summarize recent studies dealing with pharmacologic

Immunohistochemical expression of intrarenal renin angiotensin system components in response to tempol in rats fed a high salt diet [PDF]
, 2017 AIM:To determine the effect of tempol in normal rats fed high salt on arterial pressure and the balance between antagonist components of the renal renin-angiotensin system.METHODS:Sprague-Dawley rats were fed with 8% NaCl high-salt (HS) or 0.4% NaCl ...

Inhibition of ACE2‐Spike Interaction by an ACE2 Binder Suppresses SARS‐CoV‐2 Entry [PDF]
Angewandte Chemie International Edition, 2022 AbstractThe emergence of SARS‐CoV‐2 variants is a significant concern in developing effective therapeutics and vaccines in the middle of the ongoing COVID‐19 pandemic. Here, we have identified a novel small molecule that inhibited the interactions between SARS‐CoV‐2 spike RBDs and ACE2 by modulating ACE2 without impairing its enzymatic activity ...

The pulmonary-proteoliposome as a new therapeutic approach for Coronaviruses [PDF]
, 2020 We are proposing the use of pulmonary-proteoliposome as a new therapeutic approach for Coronaviruses. The designed strategy represents a potential treatment to reduce the overall viral load in the lungs and to help the immune system to successfully stave

Independent Tendency of ACE2 and GRP78 Expression in SARS-CoV2 Infection
Mutiara Medika, 2022 Severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV2) is a virus that attacks the respiratory tract and causes the COVID-19 pandemic. This virus utilizes the host receptor as a cellular entry. Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) has been assumed

Differential renal effects of candesartan at high-and ultra-high doses in diabetic mice: potential role of ACE2/AT2R/Mas [PDF]
, 2016 High doses of Ang II receptor (AT1R) blockers (ARBs) are renoprotective in diabetes. Underlying mechanisms remain unclear. We evaluated whether high/ultra-high doses of candesartan (ARB) up-regulate angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2)/Ang II type 2 ...

Angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) - the major receptor for SARS-CoV-2 virus [PDF]
Farmacja Polska, 2021 The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAS) plays a significant role in the regulation of the water and electrolyte balance. Renin from the kidneys converts angiotensinogen to angiotensin I. Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) catalyzes the conversion
