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 ...

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.Surface modification using mussel‐derived polydopamine (PDA) is a versatile and robust biocompatible strategy that enables direct application to various epidermal surfaces, regardless of their morphological complexity or surface characteristics. The PDA‐coated epidermis exhibits multiple anti‐biofouling functionalities, including antibacterial and anti‐

Endothelial Vasodilator Angiotensin Receptors are Changing in Mice with Ageing
Research in Molecular Medicine, 2014 Background: The vascular function of Angiotensin II-type-2 receptors in adults is controversial. We sought their location and function in mouse aortic rings at young and old mice.

DIOL triterpenes block profibrotic effects of angiotensin II and protect from cardiac hypertrophy.
PLoS ONE, 2012 BackgroundThe natural triterpenes, erythrodiol and uvaol, exert anti-inflammatory, vasorelaxing and anti-proliferative effects. Angiotensin II is a well-known profibrotic and proliferative agent that participates in the cardiac remodeling associated with

Role of the T cell in the genesis of angiotensin II–induced hypertension and vascular dysfunction
Journal of Experimental Medicine, 2007 Hypertension promotes atherosclerosis and is a major source of morbidity and mortality. We show that mice lacking T and B cells (RAG-1−/− mice) have blunted hypertension and do not develop abnormalities of vascular function during angiotensin II infusion

Advanced Science, EarlyView.In the context of chronic hyperglycemia, a DDR is initiated, leading to the pathological activation of DNA‐PKcs in the diabetic heart. This activated DNA‐PKcs directly interacts with and phosphorylates YAP1 at Thr226, thereby increasing the nuclear expression of YAP1.

Molecular targeting therapy with angiotensin II receptor blocker for prostatic cancer
Oncology Reviews, 2011 Angiotensin II (Ang-II) plays a key role as a vasoconstrictor in controlling blood pressure and electrolyte/fluid homeostasis. Recently it has also been shown that this peptide is a cytokine, acting as a growth factor in cardiovascular and stromal cells.

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2019 AimIt is well-established that angiotensin II exerts a dampening effect on the baroreflex within the nucleus tractus solitarii (NTS), the principal brainstem site for termination of baroreceptor afferents and which is densely populated with gamma ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.In vivo experiments suggest that cardiomyocyte hypertrophy is an early manifestation of cardiac pathological changes induced by chronic psychological stress. In vivo and in vitro experiments suggest that the corticosterone‐glucocorticoid receptor‐LAMA5 axis mediates cardiomyocyte hypertrophy induced by chronic psychological stress. The clinical results

Mediators of Inflammation, 1995 The objective of this study was to determine whether arachidonate metabolites are involved in the vasoconstrictive effects of angiotensin II in rats. In the isolated perfused heart, dexamethasone (4 mg/kg) significantly suppressed the maximal decreases ...
