Angiotensin II induces DNA damage in the kidney.
Increased activity of the renin angiotensin system with enhanced levels of angiotensin II leads to oxidative stress with endothelial dysfunction, hypertension, and atherosclerosis. Epidemiologic studies revealed a higher cancer mortality and an increased kidney cancer incidence in hypertensive patients. Because elevated angiotensin II levels might contribute to carcinogenesis, we tested whether...
متن کاملAcidic pH induces topoisomerase II-mediated DNA damage.
Acidic pH plays an important role in various pathophysiological states and has been demonstrated to be carcinogenic in animal models. Recent studies have also implicated acidic pH in the development of preneoplastic Barrett's esophagus in human. However, little is known about the molecular mechanism underlying acidic pH-induced carcinogenesis. In the current study, we show that acidic pH, like ...
متن کاملIntermittent hypoxia reduces microglia proliferation and induces DNA damage in vitro
Objective(s):Intermittent hypoxia (IH), caused by obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), could cause hippocampus or neuron damage through multiple signaling pathways, while the underlying mechanisms are still unclear. Thus, the present study aimed to explore the effect of IH on the biological functions of microglia cells. Materials and Methods:Cell proliferation of BV2 cells after exposure to IH were o...
متن کاملAngiotensin II induces carbon monoxide production in the perfused kidney: relationship to protein kinase C activation.
Heme oxygenase (HO)-derived carbon monoxide (CO) attenuates vascular reactivity to constrictor stimuli. ANG II produces vasoconstriction and induces HO-1 isoform expression. However, direct evidence that ANG II promotes HO product generation is lacking. Therefore, we examined the effects of ANG II on CO release and HO isoform expression in isolated rat kidneys. Kidneys were perfused with oxygen...
متن کاملAngiotensin II blockade in kidney transplant recipients.
Interstitial fibrosis/tubular atrophy (IF/TA) contributes to the loss of kidney allografts, and treatment or preventive options are lacking. We conducted a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial to determine whether angiotensin II blockade prevents the expansion of the cortical interstitial compartment, the precursor of fibrosis. We randomly assigned 153 transplant recipients to rec...
