Transepithelial projections from basal cells are luminal sensors in pseudostratified epithelia

, 2008
Basal cells are by definition located on the basolateral side of several epithelia, and they have never been observed reaching the lumen. Using high-resolution 3D confocal imaging, we report that basal cells extend long and slender cytoplasmic ...

Impaired angiotensin II signaling in septic shock

Annals of Intensive Care
Recent years have seen a resurgence of interest for the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system in critically ill patients. Emerging data suggest that this vital homeostatic system, which plays a crucial role in maintaining systemic and renal hemodynamics ...

Angiotensin II type 1 receptor blockers increase tolerance of cells to copper and cisplatin

, 2014
The human pathology Wilson disease (WD) is characterized by toxic copper (Cu) accumulation in brain and liver, resulting in, among other indications, mitochondrial dysfunction and apoptosis of hepatocytes.

Significance of Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 Inhibition by Imidapril for Prevention of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms in Angiotensin II Type 1 Receptor–Knockout Mice

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2013
To clarify the matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 inhibitory effect of an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor in vivo, we evaluated the effect of an ACE inhibitor against elastase-induced abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) progression in mice ...

The angiogenic response to Bradykinin "in vitro" : the role of Bradykinin receptors in hypoxic hearts and tumors [PDF]

, 2004
End organ damage resulting from hypertension is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. In hypertension, left ventricular mass increases resulting in left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH). LVH increases the risk of heart failure and sudden

ANGIOTENSIN II TYPE 1 RECEPTOR AUTOANTIBODIES

Journal of Hypertension, 2019
Objective:Primary aldosteronism (PA), the most common cause of endocrine hypertension, is a disorder due to bilateral adrenal hyperplasia (BAH) and aldosterone producing adenoma (APA), featuring concentrations of plasma aldosterone that are inappropriately high for the circulating renin levels ...

Inhibition of sequestration of human B-2 bradykinin receptor by phenylarsine oxide or sucrose allows determination of a receptor affinity shift and ligand dissociation in intact cells [PDF]

, 2004
Depending on their interaction with intracellular proteins, G proteincoupled receptors (GPCR) often display different affinities for agonists at 37degreesC. Determining the affinity at that temperature is often difficult in intact cells as most GPCRs are

Candesartan inhibits inflammation through an angiotensin II type 1 receptor independent way in human embryonic kidney epithelial cells

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2019
: Besides stimulating vasoconstriction, Angiotensin II is also well known in inducing reactive oxygen species and promoting inflammatory phenotype switch via its type 1 receptor.

The vascular renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system

, 2001
PhDThe renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) is one of the major regulators of blood pressure. The actions and generation of RAAS components at the tissue level are less well appreciated.

Development of selective non-peptide angiotensin II type 2 receptor agonsists

, 2010
The development of the first drug-like selective angiotensin II type 2 (AT(2)) receptor agonist (22) derived from the non-selective angiotensin II type 1 (AT(1)) receptor/AT(2) receptor agonist L-162,313 is presented.
