Intrarenal Angiotensin II Augmentation in Angiotensin II Dependent Hypertension.

Hypertension Research, 2000
In several models of angiotensin II (ANG II) dependent hypertension, intrarenal ANG II levels increase to a much greater extent than the circulating levels even though the renal renin levels are decreased. The 2-kidney-1-clip (2K1C) Goldblatt rat model is particularly intriguing because hypertension develops in the presence of an intact kidney which ...

Engineered Dual‐Function Antibody‐Like Proteins to Combat SARS‐CoV‐2‐Induced Immune Dysregulation and Inflammation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Engineered antibody‐like proteins block the SARS‐CoV‐2 spike protein from binding to host receptors and suppress immune overactivation through an MBL‐based scaffold. These dual‐function proteins effectively alleviate inflammation, complement activation, and lung injury, offering a promising therapeutic strategy against severe COVID‐19 and its ...

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 ...

ACE2: Angiotensin II/Angiotensin-(1–7) Balance in Cardiac and Renal Injury

Current Hypertension Reports, 2014
Our current recognition of the renin-angiotensin system is more convoluted than originally thought due to the discovery of multiple novel enzymes, peptides, and receptors inherent in this interactive biochemical cascade. Over the last decade, angiotensin-

Adaptive Antioxidant Nanomedicines Inhibit Ferroptosis in Renal Tubular Epithelial Cells to Alleviate Diabetic Kidney Disease

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In this study, an adaptive antioxidant nanodrug (AAN) is developed through the self‐polymerization of L‐selenocysteine. The AAN exhibits dual functionalities: antioxidant activity (scavenging reactive oxygen species) and mitochondrial targeting. Moreover, the released selenium (Se) participates in the synthesis of glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4), which

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

Inhibition of AMPKα Pathway by Podocyte GOLM1 Exacerbates Diabetic Nephrology in Mice

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Podocyte Golgi membrane protein 1 interacts with epidermal growth factor receptor to inhibit peroxisome proliferator activated receptor γ, and then inactivates adenosine monophosphate activated protein kinase α pathway, which facilitates diabetes‐related inflammation, oxidative damage, apoptosis, and renal dysfunction.
