Biological Pathways and Potential Targets for Prevention and Therapy of Chronic Allograft Nephropathy [PDF]

, 2014
Renal transplantation (RT) is the best option for patients with end-stage renal disease, but the half-life is limited to a decade due to progressive deterioration of renal function and transplant failure from chronic allograft nephropathy (CAN), which is

GPCRs in CAR‐T Cell Immunotherapy: Expanding the Target Landscape and Enhancing Therapeutic Efficacy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Chimeric antigen receptor T cell therapy faces dual challenges of target scarcity and an immunosuppressive microenvironment in solid tumors. This review highlights how G protein‐coupled receptors can serve as both novel targets to expand the therapeutic scope and functional modules to enhance CAR‐T cell efficacy.

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 ...

Macrophagic Sclerostin Loop2‐ApoER2 Interaction Required by Sclerostin for Cardiovascular Protective Action

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Sclerostin loop2‐ApoER2 interaction in macrophages is required by sclerostin to suppress NF‐κB nuclear translocation and phosphorylation, to promote macrophage conversion into anti‐inflammatory subtypes in atherosclerotic aortas, as well as to prevent atherosclerosis and aortic aneurysm development in ApoE−/− mice. Abstract Therapeutic antibody against

Telmisartan reduces systemic inflammation and alters the renin-angiotensin system in mild COVID-19

Scientific Reports
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) causes COVID-19, a respiratory viral infection that disrupts renin angiotensin system (RAS) peptide metabolism by downregulating angiotensin converting enzyme-II (ACE2), leading to accumulation

The role of the classical renin–angiotensin system and angiotensin-converting enzyme 2/Ang(1–7)/Mas axis in pulmonary fibrosis

Frontiers in Medicine
Pulmonary fibrosis (PF), a progressive and fatal disease, is characterized by fibroblast proliferation, excessive extracellular matrix deposition, and collagen synthesis. These pathological changes lead to impaired lung structure and function, ultimately

Local angiotensin II promotes adipogenic differentiation of human adipose tissue mesenchymal stem cells through type 2 angiotensin receptor

Stem Cell Research, 2017
Obesity is often associated with high systemic and local activity of renin-angiotensin system (RAS). Mesenchymal stem cells of adipose tissue are the main source of adipocytes.

Loss of angiotensin II receptor expression in dopamine neurons in Parkinson’s disease correlates with pathological progression and is accompanied by increases in Nox4- and 8-OH guanosine-related nucleic acid oxidation and caspase-3 activation [PDF]

, 2015
In rodent models of Parkinsons disease (PD), dopamine neuron loss is accompanied by increased expression of angiotensin II (AngII), its type 1 receptor (AT1), and NADPH oxidase (Nox) in the nigral dopamine neurons and microglia.

Effectiveness of Pre‐Transplant Dual GLP‐1 Receptor Agonist and SGLT2 Inhibitor Therapy on All‐Cause Mortality in Organ Transplantation Candidates with Obesity and Type 2 Diabetes: a Target‐Trial Emulation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This target trial emulation in solid organ transplant candidates with obesity and type 2 diabetes evaluates whether pre‐transplant dual therapy with GLP‐1 receptor agonists plus SGLT2 inhibitors is associated with post‐transplant mortality and kidney graft outcomes compared with monotherapy or usual care, using multinational electronic health records ...
