Upregulation of NADH/NADPH oxidase 4 by angiotensin II induces podocyte apoptosis [PDF]

open access: yesKidney Research and Clinical Practice, 2023
Background Angiotensin II induces glomerular and podocyte injury via systemic and local vasoconstrictive or non-hemodynamic effects including oxidative stress. The release of reactive oxygen species (ROS) from podocytes may participate in the development

Receptor Interactions of Angiotensin II and Angiotensin Receptor Blockers—Relevance to COVID-19

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2021
Angiotensin II (Ang II) may contain a charge relay system (CRS) involving Tyr/His/carboxylate, which creates a tyrosinate anion for receptor activation. Energy calculations were carried out to determine the preferred geometry for the CRS in the presence ...

Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) as a SARS-CoV-2 receptor: molecular mechanisms and potential therapeutic target

open access: yesIntensive Care Medicine, 2020
A novel infectious disease, caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), was detected in Wuhan, China, in December 2019. The disease (COVID-19) spread rapidly, reaching epidemic proportions in China, and has been found in 27 ...

Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Inhibitor / Angiotensin II Receptor Blocker in COVID-19: a Double-edged Sword or a Myth

open access: yesNepalese Medical Journal, 2020
Angiotensin-converting enzyme-2 receptor has been unearthed as a prime site of entry of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 owing to its strong affinity towards spike protein of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2, resulting in ...

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

open access: yesMolecular 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/

Angiotensin receptor blockers as tentative SARS‐CoV‐2 therapeutics

open access: yesDrug development research (Print), 2020
At the time of writing this commentary (February 2020), the coronavirus COVID‐19 epidemic has already resulted in more fatalities compared with the SARS and MERS coronavirus epidemics combined. Therapeutics that may assist to contain its rapid spread and

Angiotensin-(1–7) attenuates SARS-CoV2 spike protein-induced interleukin-6 and interleukin-8 production in alveolar epithelial cells through activation of Mas receptor

open access: yesJournal of Microbiology, Immunology and Infection, 2023
Background: SARS-CoV-2 spike proteins (SP) can bind to the human angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) in human pulmonary alveolar epithelial cells (HPAEpiC) and trigger an inflammatory process.

Hypothesis: angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers may increase the risk of severe COVID-19

open access: yesJournal of Travel Medicine, 2020
Highlight Intravenous infusions of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) and angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) in experimental animals increase the numbers of angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptors in the cardiopulmonary ...
