From gene to protein - experimental and clinical studies of ACE2 in blood pressure control and arterial hypertension

Frontiers in Physiology, 2014
Hypertension is a major risk factor for stroke, coronary events, heart and renal failure, and the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) plays a major role in its pathogenesis.

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 ...

Correlation between plasma-soluble angiotensin-converting enzyme 2, anti- angiotensin-converting enzyme 2, and angiotensin-(1–7) in patients with chronic heart failure

Cardiology Plus, 2019
Background: Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) is an ACE homolog that converts angiotensin II into angiotensin-(1–7) (Ang-[1–7]). Tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), interleukin-1 β, and interleukin-6 are plasma inflammatory cytokines that play a role ...

Effects of Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Inhibitors and Angiotensin Receptor Blockers on Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme 2 Levels: A Comprehensive Analysis Based on Animal Studies

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2021
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2), the pathogen of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19), caused the outbreak escalated to pandemic. Reports suggested that near 1–3% of COVID‐19 cases have a fatal outcome.

Does angiotensin-1 converting enzyme genotype influence motor or cognitive development after pre-term birth? [PDF]

, 2005
Background Raised activity of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) may both amplify inflammatory and free radical responses and decrease tissue metabolic efficiency and thus enhance cerebral injury in the preterm infant.

Protein-protein interactions of human somatic angiotensin-converting enzyme [PDF]

, 2011
In this study, novel disulphide bridges were engineered into the linker region of ACE [Angiotensin-converting enzyme] in an attempt to limit inter-domain movement, thereby producing a candidate for crystallisation and to determine the effect of these ...

Acute Kidney Injury in a Case Series of Patients with Confirmed COVID-19 (Coronavirus Disease 2019): Role of Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme 2 and Renin-Angiotensin System Blockade

Case Reports in Nephrology, 2020
The renin-angiotensin system plays a very critical role in hypertension, diabetes, and kidney and heart diseases. The blockade of the renin-angiotensin system results in the prevention of progression of renal and cardiac damage.

Onset of experimental severe cardiac fibrosis is mediated by overexpression of angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 [PDF]

, 2009
Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) 2 is a recently identified homologue of ACE. There is great interest in the therapeutic benefit for ACE2 overexpression in the heart.

Potential harmful effects of discontinuing ACE-inhibitors and ARBs in COVID-19 patients

eLife, 2020
The discovery of angiotensin converting enzyme-2 (ACE-2) as the receptor for SARS- CoV-2 (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2) has implicated the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and ...
