Oxytocin Reduces Subjective Fear in Naturalistic Social Contexts via Enhancing Top‐Down Middle Cingulate Amygdala Regulation and Brain‐Wide Fear Representations

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This double‐blind, placebo‐controlled study demonstrates that intranasal oxytocin reduces subjective fear in immersive, naturalistic social (but not non‐social) contexts. Concomitant fMRI reveals that oxytocin enhances middle cingulate activity and amygdala connectivity while it modulates network‐level connectivity and attenuates reactivity of a brain ...

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

Neutrophil–Endothelium Interaction Mediated by S100A9 Promotes Pulmonary Vascular Remodeling During Pulmonary Hypertension

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study investigates the critical mechanisms underlying pulmonary hypertension progression, with a focus on the novel role of neutrophil‐derived S100A9 in endothelial dysfunction‐mediated pulmonary vascular remodeling. By integrating human lung samples, multi‐omics analyses, animal models, and mechanistic in vitro studies, it is revealed that how ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

Angiotensin II promotes atherosclerotic lesions and aneurysms in apolipoprotein E-deficient mice.

Journal of Clinical Investigation, 2000
Increased plasma concentrations of angiotension II (Ang II) have been implicated in atherogenesis. To examine this relationship directly, we infused Ang II or vehicle for 1 month via osmotic minipumps into mature apoE(-/-) mice. These doses of Ang II did

The Immune Microenvironment: New Therapeutic Implications in Organ Fibrosis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This review summarizes recent advances in understanding the immune microenvironment's role in fibrosis, focusing on phenotypic/functional alterations of immune cells and their dynamic interactions with other cellular constituents within tissues. The authors further explore therapeutic opportunities and challenges in targeting immune microenvironment ...

Effect of Angiotensin II on ENaC in the Distal Convoluted Tubule and in the Cortical Collecting Duct of Mineralocorticoid Receptor Deficient Mice

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2020
Background Angiotensin II stimulates epithelial Na+ channel (ENaC) by aldosterone‐independent mechanism. We now test the effect of angiotensin II on ENaC in the distal convoluted tubule (DCT) and cortical collecting duct (CCD) of wild‐type (WT) and ...
