Upregulation of angiotensin-(1-7) formation in human podocytes - enzyme activity assay upon fluid flow shear stress.

PLoS ONE
The renin-angiotensin system is known for its role in renal physiology by regulating renal hemodynamics and natriuresis. Overactivation of this system exerts pathological effects in the kidney, primarily mediated by its main effector peptide angiotensin ...

Beneficial Effect of Mas Receptor Deficiency on Vascular Cognitive Impairment in the Presence of Angiotensin II Type 2 Receptor

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2018
BackgroundThe classical renin‐angiotensin system is known as the angiotensin (Ang)‐converting enzyme/Ang II/Ang type 1 receptor axis, which induces various organ damage including cognitive decline.

Drug Repurposing for Treating NCOR‐Related Intellectual Disability

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
An autism‐associated NCOR1 heterozygous mutation upregulates NRGs and activates NRG backward signaling in hypothalamic GABAergic neurons in mouse models, leading to Gabra2 downregulation and cognitive deficits, which can be therapeutically targeted by repurposing FDA‐approved drugs.

Angiotensin II Directly Increases Endothelial Calcium and Nitric Oxide in Kidney and Brain Microvessels In Vivo With Reduced Efficacy in Hypertension

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease
Background The vasoconstrictor effects of angiotensin II via type 1 angiotensin II receptors in vascular smooth muscle cells are well established, but the direct effects of angiotensin II on vascular endothelial cells (VECs) in vivo and the mechanisms ...

Hepatic Mitochondrial Renin-Angiotensin Systems [PDF]

, 2015
Introduction: The circulating renin-angiotensin system (RAS) was originally described as a key endocrine regulator of intravascular homeostasis; however, the existence of a local (tissue) RAS has become increasingly reported in a variety of tissues ...

NCOA4 Accelerates Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Formation by Regulating Macrophage Activation and Ferroptosis via STAT1–CH25H Axis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Under pathological stimulation, NCOA4 in macrophages interacts with STAT1 to promote CH25H transcription. The subsequent increase in 25‐HC production activates macrophages, triggers inflammatory responses and ferroptosis, and accelerates the progression of AAA.

Chrysanthemum Morifolium–Derived Nanovesicles Reduce Lactate‐Associated Histone Lactylation and Modulate Microglia‐Mediated Neuroinflammation in Sepsis‐Associated Encephalopathy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
When used to treat sepsis‐associated encephalopathy, Chrysanthemum morifolium–derived nanovesicles can inhibit the H3K18la/NF‐κB axis to regulate microglia‐mediated neuroinflammation. ABSTRACT Sepsis‐associated encephalopathy (SAE)—a complication of the central nervous system in patients with sepsis—markedly diminishes cognitive functions and is linked

Angiotensin-(1–7) suppresses pyroptosis in cerebral endothelium to decrease blood–brain barrier permeability and cognitive impairments in sepsis

Journal of International Medical Research
Objective This study aimed to explore the influence of the angiotensin-(1–7)/Mas receptor and angiotensin II/angiotensin II type 1 receptor pathways on pyroptosis during sepsis and their subsequent effects on cognitive function.

Chinese Expert Consensus on the Clinical Application of Finerenone in Geriatric Comorbidities

AGING MEDICINE, EarlyView.
Mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) overactivation drives inflammation, oxidative stress, and fibrosis in the heart, kidneys, and vasculature, leading to cardiorenal dysfunction. MR signaling promotes hypertrophy, remodeling, and injury through pathways like oxidative stress and inflammation, resulting in vascular stiffness and progressive organ damage ...
