Angiotensin-(1-7) downregulates the angiotensin II type 1 receptor in vascular smooth muscle cells.
Angiotensin (Ang)-(1-7) is a biologically active peptide of the renin-angiotensin system that has both vasodilatory and antiproliferative activities that are opposite the constrictive and proliferative effects of angiotensin II (Ang II). We studied the actions of Ang-(1-7) on the Ang II type 1 (AT(1)) receptor in cultured rat aortic vascular smooth muscle cells to determine whether the effects ...
متن کاملSIRT1, a longevity gene, downregulates angiotensin II type 1 receptor expression in vascular smooth muscle cells.
OBJECTIVE Resveratrol (3,5,4'-trihydroxystilbene), a polyphenol found in red wine, is known to activate sirtuin1 (SIRT1), a longevity gene. Previous studies have demonstrated that resveratrol extends the life span of diverse species through activation of SIRT1. It was also reported that inhibition of angiotensin II function by angiotensin II type I receptor (AT1R) antagonist prolonged rat life ...
متن کاملAngiotensin II type 2 receptor gene transfer downregulates angiotensin II type 1a receptor in vascular smooth muscle cells.
Two distinct subtypes of angiotensin (Ang) II receptors, type 1 (AT(1)) and type 2 (AT(2)), have been identified. Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) usually express AT(1) receptor. To elucidate the direct effects of the AT(2) receptor on the AT(1) receptor in VSMCs, we transfected AT(2) receptor gene into cultured rat VSMCs. Overexpression of AT(2) receptor significantly decreased expression ...
متن کاملNovel regulatory effect of angiotensin II type 1 receptor-interacting molecule on vascular smooth muscle cells.
We have recently cloned a novel molecule that interacts with the angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT1R)-associated protein (ATRAP). In this study, we tested the hypothesis that ATRAP modulates angiotensin II-induced responses in vascular smooth muscle cells. The results of immunoprecipitation and bioluminescence resonance energy transfer assay demonstrated a direct interaction between ATRAP and ...
متن کاملCaveolin-dependent angiotensin II type 1 receptor signaling in vascular smooth muscle.
Angiotensin II (Ang II) is a pluripotent hormone in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) and stimulates arterial hypertrophy, a hallmark of remodeling in hypertension. These effects are mediated primarily through the G protein–coupled receptor Ang II type 1 receptor (AT1R). In VSMCs, AT1R-mediated signaling is biphasic, and internalization of the agonist/receptor complex into what we called a “...
