Resetting the neurohormonal balance in heart failure (HF). the relevance of the natriuretic peptide (NP) system to the clinical management of patients with HF [PDF]

, 2017
The natriuretic peptide (NP) system, which includes atrial natriuretic peptide, B-type natriuretic peptide, and C-type natriuretic peptide, has an important role in cardiovascular homeostasis, promoting a number of physiological effects including ...

Angiotensin II Type 2 Receptor Blockade Increases Bone Mass [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2009
Renin angiotensin system (RAS) regulates circulating blood volume and blood pressure systemically, whereas RAS also plays a role in the local milieu. Previous in vitro studies suggested that RAS may be involved in the regulation of bone cells. However, it was not known whether molecules involved in RAS are present in bone in vivo.

Genetic attenuation of ALDH1A1 increases metastatic potential and aggressiveness in colorectal cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Aldehyde dehydrogenase 1A1 (ALDH1A1) is a cancer stem cell marker in several malignancies. We established a novel epithelial cell line from rectal adenocarcinoma with unique overexpression of this enzyme. Genetic attenuation of ALDH1A1 led to increased invasive capacity and metastatic potential, the inhibition of proliferation activity, and ultimately ...

Evidence of Renin–Angiotensin System Receptors in Deep Fascia: A Role in Extracellular Matrix Remodeling and Fibrogenesis?

Biomedicines, 2022
Recent studies have shown that fascial fibroblasts are sensitive to different stimuli (biochemical or biophysical), promoting extracellular matrix remodeling, as well as synthetic activity.

Therapeutic potential of the renin angiotensin system in ischaemic stroke [PDF]

, 2016
The renin angiotensin system (RAS) consists of the systemic hormone system, critically involved in regulation and homeostasis of normal physiological functions [i.e.

The angiotensin II type 2 receptor in renal disease [PDF]

Journal of the Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System, 2009
Suppression of angiotensin II formation by angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors or blockade of the angiotensin II receptor by angiotensin receptor blockers is a powerful therapeutic strategy to slow the progression of renal disease. However, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers provide only imperfect ...

Dietary nitrate and nitrite protect against doxorubicin‐induced cardiac fibrosis and oxidative protein damage in tumor‐bearing mice

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Chemotherapies such as doxorubicin can have toxic effects on healthy cardiovascular/heart tissue. Following up on a doxorubicin toxicity study in mice without tumors where nitrate water was cardioprotective (lessened toxicity), this study with tumor‐bearing mice undergoing doxorubicin treatment showed no negative effect of nitrate and nitrite on drug ...

Loss of Angiotensin II Type 2 Receptor Improves Blood Pressure in Elastin Insufficiency

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2021
There is ample evidence supporting a role for angiotensin II type 2 receptor (AT2R) in counterbalancing the effects of angiotensin II (ang II) through the angiotensin II type 1 receptor by promoting vasodilation and having anti-inflammatory effects ...

Angiotensin Blockade in Patients with Diabetic Nephropathy [PDF]

, 2007
When used to delay the progression of early nephropathy in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) are not superior to angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors.

Biological Pathways and Potential Targets for Prevention and Therapy of Chronic Allograft Nephropathy [PDF]

, 2014
Renal transplantation (RT) is the best option for patients with end-stage renal disease, but the half-life is limited to a decade due to progressive deterioration of renal function and transplant failure from chronic allograft nephropathy (CAN), which is
