The Plasma Kallikrein–Kininogen Pathway Is Critical in the Pathogenesis of Colitis in Mice

Frontiers in Immunology, 2018
The kallikrein–kinin system (KKS) consists of two serine proteases, prekallikrein (pKal) and factor XII (FXII), and a cofactor, high-molecular-weight kininogen (HK). Upon activation of the KKS, HK is cleaved to release bradykinin.

Non‐canonical PKG1 regulation in cardiovascular health and disease

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
It is well established that the cyclic GMP‐dependent protein kinase I (PKG1) is canonically activated by cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP), enabling its regulation of vascular tone, cardiac function and smooth muscle homeostasis. However, diverse non‐canonical stimuli of PKG1 have also been identified.

QSAR based modeling on a series of α-hydroxy amides as a novel class of bradykinin B1 selective antagonists

Journal of Saudi Chemical Society, 2010
G-protein coupled receptors like Bradykinin (BK) B1 represent a potential treatment route for chronic pain and inflammation. Quantitative structure activity relationship has been performed on a series of α-hydroxy amides as a novel class of bradykinin B1

Novel therapeutic targets for chronic visceral pain in gastrointestinal disorders

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Chronic visceral pain imposes a major clinical challenge in gastroenterology and beyond, profoundly impacting patients' quality of life. However, limited understanding of its complex, multifaceted pathophysiology, encompassing both peripheral and central mechanisms, continues to impede the development of effective management strategies.

Kinins Released by Erythrocytic Stages of Plasmodium falciparum Enhance Adhesion of Infected Erythrocytes to Endothelial Cells and Increase Blood Brain Barrier Permeability via Activation of Bradykinin Receptors

Frontiers in Medicine, 2019
Background:Plasmodium falciparum, the etiologic agent of malaria, is a major cause of infant death in Africa. Although research on the contact system has been revitalized by recent discoveries in the field of thrombosis, limited efforts were done to ...

Neuronal and ion channel mechanisms of noxious heat sensing in mammals: A puzzle of sensory physiology and pharmacology

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) was the first noxious heat‐sensitive channel discovered. In rodents, its role is robust in the heat response of the cell body of polymodal nociceptors, but surprisingly small in that of the peripheral terminals in the skin.

Bradykinin Receptors in Metabolic Disorders: A Comprehensive Review

Drugs and Drug Candidates
The kallikrein–kinin system and its B1 and B2 receptors are key regulators in metabolic disorders such as obesity, diabetes, and insulin resistance. Obesity, a chronic and multifactorial condition often associated with comorbidities like type 2 diabetes ...

CD93—An emerging vascular target in cancer therapy

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract CD93 is a single‐pass transmembrane glycoprotein that belongs to the C‐type lectin domain group XIV family of proteins. Although it is known to be expressed in other cell types, namely, in some subsets of immune cells, CD93 is primarily expressed on endothelial cells, where it acts as a crucial regulator of angiogenesis.

Bradykinin Receptor Modulation in Vein Grafts

Journal of Investigative Surgery, 1994
Following vein grafting, bradykinin B2 receptor-mediated responses in the vein graft are decreased and B1 receptor-mediated responses are increased. It is not known whether these changes in bradykinin receptor responses are due to nonspecific changes, local inflammation, or arterial hemodynamics.

Preventing acute asthmatic symptoms by targeting a neuronal mechanism involving carotid body lysophosphatidic acid receptors

Nature Communications, 2018
Acute bronchoconstriction is the leading cause of asthmatic sudden death following allergen exposure. The authors show that the systemic increase of LPA following inhaled allergen or bradykinin challenge activates the carotid bodies through TRPV1 and LPA-
