The angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) gene family of Anopheles gambiae [PDF]

, 2005
Background Members of the M2 family of peptidases, related to mammalian angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE), play important roles in regulating a number of physiological processes.

Classical and Alternative Pathways of the Renin–Angiotensin–Aldosterone System in Regulating Blood Pressure in Hypertension and Obese Adolescents

Biomedicines
Primary hypertension (PH) is the leading form of arterial hypertension (AH) in adolescents. Hypertension is most common in obese patients, where 20 to 40% of the population has elevated blood pressure.

Role of protein kinase C in renal vasoconstriction caused by angiotensin II [PDF]

, 1990
In this study we have examined the subcellar pathways along which angiotensin II (ANG II) causes renal vasoconstriction. Using the isolated perfused rat kidney model, we found that renal vasoconstriction produced by ANG II (100 pM) was not altered by the

Angiogenesis "in vitro" of the healthy mouse heart under hypoxia : the role of Angiotensin II and Nitric Oxide [PDF]

, 2005
Angiogenesis is the process by which blood microvessels are formed from existing ones. Angiogenesis is required for development. It is also important for reducing myocardial hypoxia due to coronary and ischemic heart disease; in myocardial infarction ...

Angiotensin-(1-7)-Mediated Signaling in Cardiomyocytes

International Journal of Hypertension, 2012
The Renin-Angiotensin System (RAS) acts at multiple targets and has its synthesis machinery present in different tissues, including the heart. Actually, it is well known that besides Ang II, the RAS has other active peptides.

Angiotensin-converting enzyme I/D polymorphism and preeclampsia risk: Evidence of small-study bias [PDF]

, 2006
Background Inappropriate activation of the renin-angiotensin system may play a part in the development of preeclampsia. An insertion/deletion polymorphism within the angiotensin-I converting enzyme gene (ACE-I/D) has shown to be reliably associated with ...

Hippo pathway at the crossroads of stemness and therapeutic resistance in breast cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Dysregulation of the Hippo pathway drives nuclear accumulation of YAP/TAZ, activating stemness‐related transcriptional programs that sustain breast cancer stemness and fuel therapeutic resistance across subtypes, underscoring Hippo signaling as a targetable vulnerability. Figure created and edited with BioRender.com.

Evaluating the involvement of autolysosomes in the nuclear translocation of fluorescent proteins

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Endogenously expressed fluorescent proteins can be degraded by autophagy and transported to cell nuclei via the nuclear pore complex. But in some cell lines, for example, HeLa cells which are positive for immunoreactivity of a receptor ligand, such as UCN I, in cell nuclei, fusion of autolysosome with the nuclear envelope is involved in the nuclear ...

Urgent need for evaluating agonists of angiotensin-(1-7)/Mas receptor axis for treating patients with COVID-19

International Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2020
ACE2 is a receptor of entry of SARS-CoV-2 into the host cells, and its upregulation has been implicated in increasing susceptibility of individuals to this infection.

Angiotensin-(1-7) and Mas receptor in the brain

Exploration of Medicine, 2021
The renin-angiotensin system (RAS) is a key regulator of blood pressure and electrolyte homeostasis. Besides its importance as regulator of the cardiovascular function, the RAS has also been associated to the modulation of higher brain functions ...
