Born early, age fast: Consequences of premature birth on chronic disease and accelerated ageing

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend ELGANs are exposed to several postnatal pro‐oxidant stressors, including ambient and supplemental oxygen, mechanical ventilation, infections, hyperalimentation, excessive glucocorticoids and intermittent hypoxia. Since endogenous antioxidant defences are underdeveloped, this imbalance promotes oxidative stress and inflammation ...

A PILOT STUDY ON SOLUBLE (PRO)RENIN RECEPTOR IN SYSTEMIC SCLEROSIS

open access: yesRomanian Journal of Rheumatology, 2015
Background. Wnt signaling is involved in fibrosis, but the mechanisms of cross-talk with other pathways, like TGF-β, are not fully understood. (Pro)renin receptor (PRR) functions as an accessory protein to a V-ATP-ase responsible for acidic pH maintenance in intracellular compartments, and recent data indicate that PRR could be a regulator of Wnt ...

Natural History of Chronic Kidney Disease in Sickle Cell Disease

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Hematology, Volume 101, Issue 7, Page 1456-1477, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Kidney complications, referred to as nephropathy, develop early in sickle cell disease (SCD). In addition to its known morbidity, abundant data show that chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with an increased mortality risk in SCD. Increasing evidence suggests that the natural history of SCD nephropathy is progressive. Initial glomerular

Beta Blocker Toxicity at Therapeutic Doses: A Look Into Carvedilol Use in the Elderly

open access: yesClinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Beta‐blocker toxicity does not occur only in overdose situations. In vulnerable populations such as children and the elderly, therapeutic doses may produce cumulative toxic effects similar to those seen in acute overdose. These patients require monitoring that extends beyond basic laboratory investigations to preempt cumulative toxicity.

Soluble Form of the (Pro)Renin Receptor Is Augmented in the Collecting Duct and Urine of Chronic Angiotensin II–Dependent Hypertensive Rats

open access: yes, 2011
Renin synthesis and secretion by principal cells of the collecting duct are enhanced in angiotensin (Ang) II–dependent hypertension. The presence of renin/(pro)renin and its receptor, the (pro)renin receptor ([P]RR), in the collecting duct may provide a ...

Renal medullary (pro)renin receptor contributes to angiotensin II-induced hypertension in rats via activation of the local renin–angiotensin system [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
(Pro) renin receptor (PRR) is a new component of the renin-angiotensin system and regulates renin activity in vitro. Within the kidney, PRR is highly expressed in the renal medulla where its expression is induced by angiotensin II infusion. The objective

Prediction of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus by Soluble (Pro)Renin Receptor During the First Trimester [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, 2013
There are currently no factors that have been shown to predict gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) during early pregnancy. The soluble (pro)renin receptor [s(P)RR] may contribute to the development of GDM.The objective of the study was to determine whether plasma s(P)RR concentrations during early pregnancy are associated with the development of GDM ...

(Pro)renin and (pro)renin receptor expression during kidney development in neonates [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Although a recent study demonstrated that the (pro)renin receptor ((P)RR) was highly expressed in the developing kidney during the mouse embryonic development, the mechanism by which (P)RR supports renal development in humans is not fully understood.

Acidic organelles mediate TGF-β1-induced cellular fibrosis via (pro)renin receptor and vacuolar ATPase trafficking in human peritoneal mesothelial cells

open access: yes, 2018
International audienceTGF-β1, which can cause renal tubular injury through a vacuolar-type H+-ATPase (V-ATPase)-mediated pathway, is induced by the glucose degradation product methylglyoxal to yield peritoneal injury and fibrosis.

Vascular Calcification: Mechanisms, Models, and Therapies

open access: yesiNew Medicine, Volume 2, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Vascular calcification represents an active multifactorial process that mirrors several key features of skeletal bone mineralization. Clinically, it is characterized by diminished arterial compliance and increased arterial wall stiffness, both of which serve as independent predictors of significant adverse cardiovascular events.
