Angiotensin II, from vasoconstrictor to growth factor: a paradigm shift.
ngiotensin II (Ang II) is today considered as one of the essential factors in the pathophysiology of cardiovas-cular disease, producing acute hemodynamic and chronic pleiotropic effects. Although now it is widely accepted that these chronic effects are important, Ang II was initially considered only a short-acting, vasoactive hormone. This view was modified a quarter of a century ago when Dr Ow...
متن کاملEpidermal growth factor-enhanced human angiotensin II type 1 receptor.
The human angiotensin II type 1 (AT1) receptor gene was isolated and its promoter function analyzed by deletion mutant promoter/luciferase constructs in transfected Cos 7 cells. We found that epidermal growth factor enhanced the human AT1 promoter activity twofold to threefold. The region between -227 and -366 bp from the 5' end of the cDNA was mapped for a base sequence responsive to the epide...
متن کاملRole of transforming growth factor-beta 1 in the cellular growth response to angiotensin II.
We have shown that angiotensin II (Ang II)-induced hypertrophy of vascular smooth muscle cells is dependent on the balance between proliferative and antiproliferative growth factors, specifically basic fibroblast growth factor and transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-beta 1), respectively. We now present evidence, based on two phenotypically distinct cell cultures, that the ability to secrete...
متن کاملRole of Transforming Growth Factor-/31 in the Cellular Growth Response to Angiotensin II
We have shown that angiotensin II (Ang II)-induced hypertrophy of vascular smooth muscle cells is dependent on the balance between proliferatlve and antlproliferative growth factors, specifically basic fibroblast growth factor and transforming growth factor-/31 (TGF-01), respectively. We now present evidence, based on two phenotypically distinct cell cultures, that the ability to secrete the bi...
متن کاملVascular Endothelial Growth Factor from Embryonic Status to Cardiovascular Pathology
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a multifunctional cytokine with distinct functions in angiogenesis, lymphangiogenesis, vascular permeability, and hematopoiesis. VEGF is a highly conserved, disulfide-bonded dimeric glycoprotein of 34 to 45 kDa produced by several cell types including fibroblasts, neutrophils, endothelial cells, and peripheral blood mononuclear cells, particularly T ...
