Alamandine/MrgD pathway modulates gut–bone marrow axis in ageing

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Purpose Ageing is associated with colon epithelial barrier disruption and up‐regulation of myelopoiesis in the bone marrow (BM). Alamandine (Ala) and MrgD are novel members of the renin angiotensin system (RAS). This study tested the hypothesis that Ala restores the colon epithelial barrier integrity in ageing via modulating gut–

Candesartan versus imidapril in hypertension: a randomised study to assess effects of anti-AT1 receptor autoantibodies

, 2011
Anti-angiotensin II receptor subtype 1 (AT1 receptor) autoantibodies have previously been shown in sera of hypertensive patients. This study assessed whether anti-AT1-receptor autoantibody in serum is correlated with the efficacy of an AT1-receptor ...

Positive modulation of glucagon‐like peptide 1 (GLP‐1) receptor by endogenous haemorphins with implications in glucose metabolism and diabetes

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Haemorphins act on GLP‐1 receptor (GLP‐1R) activity and signalling in a positive allosteric manner. This leads to potentiated GLP‐1‐mediated activity and signalling, as well as insulin synthesis, which may have implications for glucose metabolism and, thereby, diabetes and obesity.

The angiotensin II type I receptor contributes to impaired cerebral blood flow autoregulation caused by placental ischemia in pregnant rats

Biology of Sex Differences, 2019
Background Placental ischemia and hypertension, characteristic features of preeclampsia, are associated with impaired cerebral blood flow (CBF) autoregulation and cerebral edema.

Down-regulation of angiotensin AT1 receptor by progesterone in human placenta.

, 1996
Regulation of the angiotensin AT1 receptor in human placenta is poorly understood. In this study, we analyzed the time course of angiotensin AT1 receptor expression, internalization, and recycling by human trophoblast cells.

Human Embryonic Stem Cell‐Derived Immunity‐And‐Matrix‐Regulatory Cells Attenuate Pulmonary Fibrosis via MMP1‐Mediated Collagen Degradation

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.
Human embryonic stem cell‐derived Immunity‐and‐Matrix‐Regulatory Cells (IMRCs) effectively attenuate pulmonary fibrosis by secreting Matrix Metalloproteinase‐1 (MMP1), which directly degrades excess collagen I in the extracellular matrix. By directly degrading collagen I, IMRCs reverse ECM stiffness, suppress myofibroblast activation, and promote a ...

Patients with preeclampsia develop agonistic autoantibodies against the angiotensin AT1 receptor [PDF]

, 1999
Immune mechanisms and the renin-angiotensin system are implicated in preeclampsia. We investigated 25 preeclamptic patients and compared them with 12 normotensive pregnant women and 10 pregnant patients with essential hypertension.

Human iPSC‐Derived Vascularised Lung Organoids for Modelling COPD and Pulmonary Hypertension

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.
Vascularised lung organoids (vLOs) that faithfully mimic human lung tissue architecture and disease pathology are critical for advancing pulmonary research but remain challenging to generate. Here, we developed a robust self‐organisation protocol to produce vLOs with cellular heterogeneity and functional vasculature. The engineered blood vessels within
