Renal‐vascular axis: unmasking its role in vascular endothelial growth factor‐inhibitor vascular toxicity in cancer patients

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Vascular toxicity is a growing concern in cancer patients receiving vascular endothelial growth factor inhibitor (VEGFi) therapy, posing a significant threat to patient prognosis. While the primary mechanism of VEGFi‐induced vascular toxicity is linked to redox‐sensitive reactions that disrupt vascular tone, leading to hypertension and ...

Effects of genetic polymorphisms of the renin-angiotensin system in children with nephrotic syndrome

, 2005
Background. The renin-angiotensin system (RAS) has been considered to be responsible for the pathogenesis or progression of many diseases which may or may not be related to kidney.

A comprehensive review of cancer‐induced cardiac wasting

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Cancer is frequently accompanied by cachexia, a systemic syndrome characterized by progressive loss of skeletal muscle mass, with or without loss of fat mass. Increasing evidence indicates that cancer can also induce cardiac muscle wasting, which is associated with structural cardiac remodelling, impaired contractile function and the development of ...

Atrial natriuretic peptide counteracts aldosterone secretion by preventing acute angiotensin II‐induced cAMP signalling

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose Aldosterone plays a key role in blood pressure and volume regulation. Enhanced aldosterone secretion contributes to cardiovascular and renal diseases. Therefore, inhibitors of aldosterone receptors and synthase are essential drugs for the treatment of hypertension and heart failure.

Fn14 signalling participates in pristane‐induced murine lupus through exacerbating oxidative stress

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease characterized by oxidative stress and immune dysregulation. Fibroblast growth factor‐inducible 14 (Fn14) has been implicated in tissue injury, but its specific role in SLE pathogenesis remains unclear.

Angiotensin type 2 receptor is expressed in human atherosclerotic lesions

, 2008
OBJECTIVE: Expression of the angiotensin type 2 receptor (AT2-receptor) occurs in many animal models of atherosclerosis. However, its expression in human plaques and its functional role remains undetermined. This study examined AT2-receptor expression in

Losartan Enhances Radiosensitivity by Reversing Immunosuppressive Tumor Microenvironment Induced by Radiotherapy in TNBC

Cancer Science, EarlyView.
Our study demonstrates that the angiotensin receptor blocker losartan enhances the efficacy of radiotherapy in triple‐negative breast cancer by reversing the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. Losartan reprograms tumor‐associated macrophages, inhibits myeloid‐derived suppressor cell function, and boosts CD8+ T‐cell activity.

Augmented myocardial methionine-enkephalin in a murine model of cardiac angiotensin II-overexpression.

, 2007
INTRODUCTION: The endogenous opioid system has been reported to interact with both the cardiac sympathetic and renin-angiotensin systems in exerting a local regulatory action on the heart.

Apparent Bilateral Aldosterone Suppression During Adrenal Vein Sampling: An Artefact of the Liaison Chemiluminescence Immunoassay and Other Causes Revealed by Comparisons With Another Commercial Immunoassay and Mass Spectrometry

Clinical Endocrinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Subtyping of primary aldosteronism usually requires adrenal vein sampling (AVS). Interpretation can be compromised by apparent bilateral aldosterone suppression (ABAS), which we hypothesised reflects an artefact of the Liaison immunoassay of aldosterone.
