Novel Pharmacology Following Heteromerization of the Angiotensin II Type 2 Receptor and the Bradykinin Type 2 Receptor [PDF]

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2022
The angiotensin type 2 (AT2) receptor and the bradykinin type 2 (B2) receptor are G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) that have major roles in the cardiovascular system. The two receptors are known to functionally interact at various levels, and there is

Evolution of Angiotensin Peptides and Peptidomimetics as Angiotensin II Receptor Type 2 (AT2) Receptor Agonists [PDF]

Biomolecules, 2020
Angiotensin II receptor type 1 and 2 (AT1R and AT2R) are two G-protein coupled receptors that mediate most biological functions of the octapeptide Angiotensin II (Ang II).

Angiotensin II Type 2 Receptor Antagonizes Angiotensin II Type 1 Receptor–Mediated Cardiomyocyte Autophagy [PDF]

Hypertension, 2009
Autophagy has emerged as an important process in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases, but the proximal triggers for autophagy are unknown. Angiotensin II plays a central role in the pathogenesis of cardiac hypertrophy and heart failure. In this study, we used angiotensin II type 1 (AT 1 ) and type 2 (AT

The Angiotensin II Type 2 Receptor in Brain Functions: An Update [PDF]

International Journal of Hypertension, 2012
Angiotensin II (Ang II) is the main active product of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS), mediating its action via two major receptors, namely, the Ang II type 1 (AT1) receptor and the type 2 (AT2) receptor.

Loss of Angiotensin II Type 2 Receptor Improves Blood Pressure in Elastin Insufficiency [PDF]

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2021
There is ample evidence supporting a role for angiotensin II type 2 receptor (AT2R) in counterbalancing the effects of angiotensin II (ang II) through the angiotensin II type 1 receptor by promoting vasodilation and having anti-inflammatory effects ...

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

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.

Angiotensin II type 2 receptor promotes apoptosis and inhibits angiogenesis in bladder cancer [PDF]

Journal of Experimental & Clinical Cancer Research, 2017
Background Bladder cancer (BCa) is the ninth most common form of cancer in the world. There is a continuing need not only for improving the accuracy of diagnostic markers but also for the development of new treatment strategies. Recent studies have shown

Differential Regulation of Intracisternally Injected Angiotensin II-Induced Mechanical Allodynia and Thermal Hyperalgesia in Rats

Biomedicines, 2023
The present study examined the underlying mechanisms of mechanical allodynia and thermal hyperalgesia induced by the intracisternal injection of angiotensin (Ang) II.

The angiotensin II type 2 receptor in the brain [PDF]

Journal of the Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System, 2009
Recent clinical studies indicate that blockade of the renin-angiotensin system is important to prevent stroke, and accumulating results of basic research also indicate the possible involvement of the central renin-angiotensin system in ischaemic brain damage and cognition.

Does activation of the protective Renin-Angiotensin System have therapeutic potential in COVID-19?

Molecular Medicine, 2020
Infection of lung cells by the corona virus results in a loss of the balance between, on the one hand, angiotensin II-mediated stimulation of the angiotensin II type 1 receptor and, on the other hand, stimulation of the angiotensin II type 2 receptor and/
