Bradykinin B2 receptors of dendritic cells, acting as sensors of kinins proteolytically released by Trypanosoma cruzi, are critical for the development of protective type-1 responses [PDF]
, 2007 Although the concept that dendritic cells (DCs) recognize pathogens through the engagement of Toll-like receptors is widely accepted, we recently suggested that immature DCs might sense kinin-releasing strains of Trypanosoma cruzi through the triggering ...

Bradykinin release avoids high molecular weight kininogen endocytosis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Human H-kininogen (120 kDa) plays a role in many pathophysiological processes and interacts with the cell surface through protein receptors and proteoglycans, which mediate H-kininogen endocytosis.

Kinin-B1 receptors in ischaemia-induced pancreatitis: Functional importance and cellular localisation [PDF]
, 2003 In this study we compare the role of kininB1 and B2 receptors during ischaemia/reperfusion of rat pancreas. Our investigations were prompted by the observation that infusion of a kininB2 receptor antagonist produced significant improvement in acute ...

Soluble gC1qR is an autocrine signal that induces B1R expression on endothelial cells [PDF]
, 2014 Bradykinin (BK) is one of the most potent vasodilator agonists known and belongs to the kinin family of proinflammatory peptides. BK induces its activity via two G protein-coupled receptors: BK receptor 1 (B1R) and BK receptor 2.

Research Progress on Upper Airway Cough Syndrome
World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Upper airway cough syndrome (UACS) has been identified as a significant contributor to chronic cough in various national guidelines. However, the complexity of its pathogenesis, the lack of clarity surrounding its diagnostic criteria, and its overlap with other etiologies of chronic cough present considerable challenges in both diagnosis and ...

Intra-pancreatic release of bradykinin during the course experimental pancreatitis in rat
Mediators of Inflammation, 1996 Kallikrein/Kininogn activation is an important pathophysiological event in acute pancreatitis, leading to microcirculatory changes within the gland. Hitherto, only indirect measurements of pancreatic bradykinin formation have been performed, monitoring ...

The Journal of Dermatology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is a rare, autosomal dominant, life‐threatening disease characterized by recurrent attacks of swelling of the face, upper airway, gastrointestinal tract, limbs, and/or genitalia. Genetic mutations of the SERPING1 gene encoding the C1‐inhibitor (C1‐INH) plasma protein are associated with HAE‐C1INH.

Evolutionary Mechanisms of Coagulation Factors in Cetaceans During Aquatic Adaptation
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Compared with Bos taurus, T. truncatus showed shorter prothrombin time and thrombin time but prolonged activated partial thromboplastin time, indicating pathway‐specific remodeling of coagulation. Evolutionary analyses identified 18 positively selected genes and accelerated F11 evolution, while functional assays revealed increased coagulation factor ...
