Post-Transcriptional Control of Angiotensin II Type 1 Receptor Regulates Osteosarcoma Cell Death

Cellular Physiology and Biochemistry, 2018
Background/Aims: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play an essential role in the tumorigenesis of osteosarcoma (OS). However, the effects of miR-1248 on chemo-resistant potential of OS have not been studied. Here, we addressed this question.

Inherited renal tubular dysgenesis: the first patients surviving the neonatal period [PDF]

, 2018
Renal tubular dysgenesis (RTD) is a clinical disorder either acquired during fetal development or inherited as an autosomal recessive condition. Inherited RTD is caused by mutations in the genes encoding the components of the renin-angiotensin system ...

The angiotensin II receptors type 1 and 2 modulate astrocytes and their crosstalk with microglia and neurons in an in vitro model of ischemic stroke

BMC Neuroscience
Background Astrocytes are the most abundant cell type of the central nervous system and are fundamentally involved in homeostasis, neuroprotection, and synaptic plasticity.

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 ...

AT1 Receptor Mediated Hypertensive Response to Ang II in the Nucleus Tractus Solitarii of Normotensive Rats Involves NO Dependent Local GABA Release

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 ...

Effects of candesartan, an angiotensin II receptor type I blocker, on atrial remodeling in spontaneously hypertensive rats [PDF]

, 2015
Hypertension-induced structural remodeling of the left atrium (LA) has been suggested to involve the renin–angiotensin system. This study investigated whether treatment with an angiotensin receptor blocker, candesartan, regresses atrial remodeling in ...
