Endoplasmic Reticulum Is a Key Organella in Bradykinin-Triggered ATP Release From Cultured Smooth Muscle Cells

open access: yesJournal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2007
ATP has broad functions as an autocrine/paracrine molecule. The mode of ATP release and its intracellular source, however, are little understood. Here we show that bradykinin via B2-receptor stimulation induces the extracellular release of ATP via the ...

Epidermal METTL1‐Mediated m7G Modification Drives Psoriatic Inflammation by Stabilizing Bdkrb1 and Orchestrating Neutrophil Recruitment

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study unveils an unrecognized pro‐inflammatory epitranscriptomic checkpoint in psoriasis. By installing m7G modifications on the 5′ UTR of Bdkrb1 mRNA, METTL1 enhances receptor stability to orchestrate keratinocyte‐driven neutrophil recruitment via p38 MAPK signaling.

Chronic Overexpression of Bradykinin in Kidney Causes Polyuria and Cardiac Hypertrophy

open access: yesFrontiers in Medicine, 2018
Acute intra-renal infusion of bradykinin increases diuresis and natriuresis via inhibition of vasopressin activity. However, the consequences of chronically increased bradykinin in the kidneys have not yet been studied.

ROS‐Targeted Nanomotor Therapy in OA: Cartilage Protection and Pain Relief

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
ROS‐responsive NM@MET nanomotors utilize elevated ROS in osteoarthritic joints to promote deep penetration into cartilage and synovium and enable sustained metformin release. By scavenging ROS, regulating NRF2/KEAP1 signaling, protecting chondrocytes, suppressing synovial inflammation, and attenuating nociceptive signaling, NM@MET alleviates pain and ...

Bradykinin as a Probable Aspect in SARS-Cov-2 Scenarios: Is Bradykinin Sneaking out of Our Sight?

open access: yesIranian Journal of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, 2020
The new virus SARS-CoV-2 is savagely spreading out over the world. The biologic studies show that the target receptor for the virus might be angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2). This peptide is responsible for converting angiotensin II (Ang II), which

Angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibitor improves coronary collateral perfusion

open access: yesFrontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2023
BackgroundWe investigated the pleiotropic effects of an angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibitor (ARNi) on collateral-dependent myocardial perfusion in a rat model of coronary arteriogenesis, and performed comprehensive analyses to uncover the ...

Arteriogenesis Is Modulated By Bradykinin Receptor Signaling [PDF]

open access: yesCirculation Research, 2011
Rationale: Positive outward remodeling of pre-existing collateral arteries into functional conductance arteries, arteriogenesis, is a major endogenous rescue mechanism to prevent cardiovascular ischemia. Collateral arterial growth is accompanied by expression of kinin precursor.

Effect of 3-arylamino-1,2-dihydro-3H-1,4-benzodiazepine-2-ones on the bradykinin-induced smooth muscle contraction

open access: yesRegulatory Mechanisms in Biosystems, 2017
Damage to tissue, inflammation and disruption of normal functioning of organs are often accompanied by pain. In pain perceptions, the kinin-kallikrein system with bradykinin as mediator is very important.

CB1 Cannabinoid Receptor Stimulation Modulates Transient Receptor Potential Vanilloid Receptor 1 Activities in Calcium Influx and Substance P Release in Cultured Rat Dorsal Root Ganglion Cells

open access: yesJournal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2005
Cannabinoids have been reported to have analgesic properties in animals of acute nociception or of inflammatory and neuropathic pain models, but the mechanisms by which they exert such alleviative effects are not yet fully understood.

Bradykinin receptors as a therapeutic target

open access: yesExpert Opinion on Therapeutic Targets, 2003
Biologically-active kinins, including bradykinin (BK) and Lys(0)-BK (kallidin), are short-lived peptide mediators predominantly generated by the enzymatic action of kallikreins on kininogen precursors. A diverse spectrum of physiological and pathological actions attributed to local kinin production is a consequence of the activation of G-protein ...
