Direct Gαq Gating Is the Sole Mechanism for TRPM8 Inhibition Caused by Bradykinin Receptor Activation

open access: yesCell Reports, 2019
Summary: Activation of Gαq-coupled receptors by inflammatory mediators inhibits cold-sensing TRPM8 channels, aggravating pain and inflammation. Both Gαq and the downstream hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol 4, 5-bisphosphate (PIP2) inhibit TRPM8. Here, I

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

open access: yesMediators 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.

Kinin B2 Receptor Mediates Cisplatin-Induced Painful Peripheral Neuropathy by Intracellular Kinase Pathways and TRPA1 Channel Sensitisation

open access: yesPharmaceuticals, 2023
Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy is a severe clinical problem frequently associated with cisplatin use. Although its pathophysiology is poorly understood, it is known that kinin receptors and the transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 (TRPA1 ...

The role of the host—Neutrophil biology

open access: yesPeriodontology 2000, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Neutrophilic polymorphonuclear leukocytes (neutrophils) are myeloid cells packed with lysosomal granules (hence also called granulocytes) that contain a formidable antimicrobial arsenal. They are terminally differentiated cells that play a critical role in acute and chronic inflammation, as well as in the resolution of inflammation and wound ...

Roles for the Kallikrein-Kinin System in Inflammatory Exudation and Pain: Lessons From Studies on Kininogen-Deficient Rats

open access: yesJournal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2003
: Roles for the kallikrein-kinin system in inflammation have been investigated extensively, and many reviews on this topic have been published during the 50 years since the discovery of bradykinin in 1949. Recent progress in the field has been remarkable

Bradykinin and adenosine receptors mediate desflurane induced postconditioning in human myocardium: role of reactive oxygen species

open access: yesBMC Anesthesiology, 2010
Background Desflurane during early reperfusion has been shown to postcondition human myocardium, in vitro. We investigated the role of adenosine and bradykinin receptors, and generation of radical oxygen species in desflurane-induced postconditioning in ...

Assembly of Bioactive Superstructures via Metal–Phenolic Complexation for Blood Purification

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Bioactive superstructures are assembled via metal–phenolic‐mediated assembly on agarose templates, followed by modification with human serum albumin. These superstructures demonstrate high bilirubin adsorption efficiency, strong antibacterial activity, and anticoagulant activity, providing a strategy for the rational design of multifunctional blood ...

The Pathophysiology of Hereditary Angioedema

open access: yesWorld Allergy Organization Journal, 2010
Hereditary angioedema (HAE) causes recurrent episodes of angioedema that may be very severe and are frequently associated with significant morbidity and even mortality. Understanding the pathophysiology of this disease is crucial for proper diagnosis and

Bradykinin release avoids high molecular weight kininogen endocytosis. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS 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.
