Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2010 Chymase plays a crucial role in angiotensin II formation in various tissues. Angiotensin II induces gene expression of transforming growth factor (TGF)-β and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 precursors, and chymase can convert precursors of TGF-β and MMP-

Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.

Zebrafish Model to Study Angiotensin II-Mediated Pathophysiology
Biology, 2021 Hypertension, a common chronic condition, may damage multiple organs, including the kidney, heart, and brain. Thus, it is essential to understand the pathology upon ectopic activation of the molecular pathways involved in mammalian hypertension to ...

The role of fibroblast growth factors in cell and cancer metabolism
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Fibroblast growth factor (FGF) signaling regulates crucial signaling cascades that promote cell proliferation, survival, and metabolism. Therefore, FGFs and their receptors are often dysregulated in human diseases, including cancer, to sustain proliferation and rewire metabolism.

Angiotensin-neprilysin inhibition versus enalapril in heart failure.
New England Journal of Medicine, 2014 BACKGROUND We compared the angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibitor LCZ696 with enalapril in patients who had heart failure with a reduced ejection fraction. In previous studies, enalapril improved survival in such patients.

Modulation of angiotensin II signaling in the prevention of fibrosis
Fibrogenesis & Tissue Repair, 2015 Over the last decade, it has become clear that the role of angiotensin II extends far beyond recognized renal and cardiovascular effects. The presence of an autologous renin-angiotensin system has been demonstrated in almost all tissues of the body.

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective The optimal treatment for neurosarcoidosis myelitis is uncertain. We characterize incident neurosarcoidosis myelitis and assess treatment response by MRI and clinical scales. Methods Incident probable or definite neurosarcoidosis myelitis in adults was retrospectively identified from 13 academic medical centers.

Revista Cubana de Cardiología y Cirugía Cardiovascular, 2014 The angiotensin II antagonists, a new group of drugs, block in a selective way AT receptors, causing vasodilatation, increase of renin and of angiotensin II, reduction of peripheral resistance, of the aldosterone levels, and of blood pressure without ...
