Aldosterone antagonists in monotherapy are protective against streptozotocin-induced diabetic nephropathy in rats. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEi) and angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARB) are the standard clinical therapy of diabetic nephropathy (DN), while aldosterone antagonists are only used as adjuncts.

Role of protein kinase C in renal vasoconstriction caused by angiotensin II [PDF]

, 1990
In this study we have examined the subcellar pathways along which angiotensin II (ANG II) causes renal vasoconstriction. Using the isolated perfused rat kidney model, we found that renal vasoconstriction produced by ANG II (100 pM) was not altered by the

T‐Cell Remodeling in Renal Fibrosis: From Acute Injury to Chronic Kidney Disease

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This Review presents renal fibrosis as a sequence of overlapping T‐cell programs, from chemokine‐guided recruitment and metabolic activation to maladaptive polarization, tertiary lymphoid structure formation, tissue residency, exhaustion, and senescence.

Drug Repurposing for Treating NCOR‐Related Intellectual Disability

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
An autism‐associated NCOR1 heterozygous mutation upregulates NRGs and activates NRG backward signaling in hypothalamic GABAergic neurons in mouse models, leading to Gabra2 downregulation and cognitive deficits, which can be therapeutically targeted by repurposing FDA‐approved drugs.

Comparative analysis of virtual screening approaches in the search for novel EphA2 receptor antagonists [PDF]

, 2015
The EphA2 receptor and its ephrin-A1 ligand form a key cell communication system, which has been found overexpressed in many cancer types and involved in tumor growth.

Chinese Expert Consensus on the Clinical Application of Finerenone in Geriatric Comorbidities

AGING MEDICINE, EarlyView.
Mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) overactivation drives inflammation, oxidative stress, and fibrosis in the heart, kidneys, and vasculature, leading to cardiorenal dysfunction. MR signaling promotes hypertrophy, remodeling, and injury through pathways like oxidative stress and inflammation, resulting in vascular stiffness and progressive organ damage ...

Constitutively Active Mutant N111G of Angiotensin II Type 1 (AT1) Receptor Induces Homologous Internalization Through Mediation of AT1-Receptor Antagonist

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2009
The present study investigated the internalization behavior of the constitutively active mutant (CAM) N111G of angiotensin II type 1 (AT1) receptor and correlated the result with the mechanism of the constitutive activity of the mutant.

A Novel NR3C1 Frameshift Variant Associated With Familial Glucocorticoid Resistance Syndrome: An Integrated Analysis of Steroid Profiling and Structural Modeling

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Glucocorticoid resistance syndrome (GRS) is a rare hereditary disorder caused by pathogenic variants in NR3C1, characterized by marked phenotypic heterogeneity and frequent misdiagnosis as primary aldosteronism or subclinical Cushing's syndrome.

ANGIOTENSIN II RECEPTOR ANTAGONISTS AND PROTEINURIA

Zdravniški Vestnik, 2002
Background. In numerous clinical studies that tried to identify risk factors for progressive renal function loss, the severity of proteinuria correlated with the rate of renal function loss.
