Bradykinin reduces wound healing in human umbilical vein endothelial cells via downregulation of vascular endothelial growth factor A [PDF]

Journal of Inflammation
Introduction Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is characterized by acute swelling attacks triggered by abnormally elevated levels of bradykinin. Despite persistently high bradykinin levels, patients experience only intermittent swelling episodes.

Bradykinin-bradykinin 2 receptor and oxidative stress [PDF]

Annals of Medicine
Introduction Bradykinin (BK) and its primary receptor, the bradykinin 2 receptor (B2R), play pivotal roles in regulating oxidative stress. While B2R activation has traditionally been linked to elevated reactive oxygen species (ROS) and pro-apoptotic ...

Antagonism of Kinin Receptors B1 and B2 Attenuates Folic Acid‐Induced Tubulointerstitial Fibrosis in Mice [PDF]

Basic &Clinical Pharmacology &Toxicology, Volume 138, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Chronic kidney disease (CKD) remains a significant global health burden despite recent advances in pharmacotherapy, including sodium‐glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors and mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists. Renal fibrosis, a central pathological hallmark of CKD progression, is mediated by persistent inflammation and macrophage ...

Systemic role of orexin A, substance P, bradykinin, and DABK in severe COVID-19 and 2.5-yr follow-ups: an observational study [PDF]

BJA Open
Background: Orexin A regulates sleep–wake cycles, arousal, and energy homeostasis, linking it to the renin–angiotensin system and substance P. Dysfunction in these pathways occurs in acute and long-term COVID-19, including post-COVID syndrome.

Different Prostanoids Are Involved in Bradykinin-Induced Endothelium-Dependent and -Independent Vasoconstriction in Rat Mesenteric Resistance Arteries

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2004
Mechanisms underlying bradykinin-induced vasoconstriction were investigated in rat perfused mesenteric vascular beds with active tone. In preparations with intact endothelium, bolus injections of bradykinin (1 to 1,000 pmol) dose-dependently produced ...

The Bradykinin System Contributes to the Regulation of Prostaglandin-Endoperoxide Synthase 2 Expression in Human Amnion Fibroblasts: Implications for Term and Preterm Birth

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2022
BackgroundBradykinin (BK) and its biologically active metabolite des-Arg9 bradykinin (DABK) play a pivotal role in inflammation. Since chorioamnionitis is the leading cause of preterm birth and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) derived from the amnion is key to ...

Degradation of human kininogens with the release of kinin peptides by extracellular proteinases of Candida spp. [PDF]

, 2010
The secretion of proteolytic enzymes by pathogenic microorganisms is one of the most successful strategies used by pathogens to colonize and infect the host organism.

Visualisation of tissue kallikrein, kininogen and kinin receptors in human skin following trauma and in dermal diseases [PDF]

, 2004
During dermal injury and inflammation the serine proteases kallikreins cleave endogenous, multifunctional substrates (kininogens) to form bradykinin and kallidin.

Bradykinin receptors in intestinal smooth muscles and their post-receptor events related to calcium

Mediators of Inflammation, 1993
The effects of trifluoperazine and verapamil on bradykinin- and des-Arg9-bradykinin induced responses of isolated rat duodenum and guinea-pig ileum were investigated to elucidate post-bradykinin receptor events.
