The Renin-Angiotensin System Modulates Inflammatory Processes in Atherosclerosis: Evidence from Basic Research and Clinical Studies

Mediators of Inflammation, 2009
Recent evidence shows that the renin-angiotensin system is a crucial player in atherosclerotic processes. The regulation of arterial blood pressure was considered from its first description of the main mechanism involved.

Tissue Angiotensin II Generating System by Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme and Chymase

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2006
.: It had been believed that angiotensin II (Ang II) was produced by the renin-angiotensin system (RAS), which was established in the 1950’s. After a while, people realized that the multiple functions of Ang II could not be explained by the conventional ...

Angiotensin II has acute effects on TRPC6 channels in podocytes of freshly isolated glomeruli

Kidney International, 2014
A key role for podocytes in the pathogenesis of proteinuric renal diseases has been established. Angiotensin II causes depolarization and increased intracellular calcium concentration in podocytes; members of the cation TRPC channels family, particularly

Tumor‐Derived Interleukin 35 Promotes Fibrosis in the Tumor Microenvironment of Pancreatic Cancer by Activating Pancreatic Stellate Cells

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates that tumor‐derived IL‐35 promotes pancreatic cancer fibrosis by indirectly activating pancreatic stellate cells through IGFBP2/IGF‐1R/PI3K‐Akt and Tsp‐1/TGF‐β pathways. IL‐35 blockade reduces stromal fibrosis, restores chemosensitivity, and synergizes with gemcitabine‐based regimens, highlighting IL‐35 as a promising therapeutic

Impaired angiotensin II signaling in septic shock

Annals of Intensive Care
Recent years have seen a resurgence of interest for the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system in critically ill patients. Emerging data suggest that this vital homeostatic system, which plays a crucial role in maintaining systemic and renal hemodynamics ...

Identification of TPRA1 as a Novel Receptor and Predictive Biomarker for Oncolytic Virus M1

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study identifies transmembrane protein adipocyte‐associated 1 (TPRA1) as a novel receptor for oncolytic virus M1 (OVM). TPRA1's ectodomain binds OVM particles, while its intracellular domain facilitates virus internalization, promoting efficient viral entry.

Angiotensin II and Renal Tubular Ion Transport

The Scientific World Journal, 2005
Angiotensin II, a potent vasoconstrictor, also participates in the regulation of renal sodium and water excretion, not only via a myriad of effects on renal hemodynamics, glomerular filtration rate, and regulation of aldosterone secretion, but also via ...

Tanshinone IIA alters the transforming growth factor-1/Smads pathway in angiotensin II-treated rat hepatic stellate cells

Journal of International Medical Research, 2020
Objective To investigate the effects of tanshinone IIA on the transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1)/Smads signaling pathway in angiotensin II-treated hepatic stellate cells (HSCs).

ACE‐mediated Glycosylation Stabilizes PSAP To Promote GPR37‐dependent Macrophage‐Nucleus Pulposus Cells Crosstalk and TGFβ Signaling in Alleviating Intervertebral Disc Degeneration

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ACE can modulate the CBL‐mediated K48 ubiquitination degradation of PSAP by altering its glycosylation levels in NP cells. As a result, NP cells secrete PSAP, which interacts with GPR37 on macrophage surfaces, facilitating their polarization toward the M2 phenotype. These M2 macrophages subsequently secrete TGFβ, which exerts feedback effects on the NP

Endothelial Cell‐Specific Prolyl Hydroxylase‐2 Deficiency Augments Angiotensin II–Induced Arterial Stiffness and Cardiac Pericyte Recruitment in Mice

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease
Background Endothelial prolyl hydroxylase‐2 (PHD2) is essential for pulmonary remodeling and hypertension. In the present study, we investigated the role of endothelial PHD2 in angiotensin II–mediated arterial stiffness, pericyte recruitment, and cardiac
