Angiotensin II type 1a receptor mediates doxorubicin-induced cardiomyopathy.
Although the serious cardiotoxicity of doxorubicin (DOX), a useful chemotherapeutic agent, limits the use of this agent, the mechanism of DOX-induced cardiomyopathy remains unclear. Since accumulating evidence suggests that activation of the renin-angiotensin system is involved in the development of various types of cardiovascular remodeling, we examined the role of angiotensin II (Ang II) in D...
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 کاملAngiotensin II type 1 receptor blockade prevents up-regulation of angiotensin II type 1A receptors in rat injured artery.
We investigated the effects of the angiotensin II (Ang II) type 1 receptor (AT1) antagonist KRH-594 on levels of the mRNAs for AT1A, AT1B, platelet-derived growth factor-receptor beta (PDGF-Rbeta), and extracellular matrix (ECM)-related genes using the competitive reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) method and on neointimal formation in the balloon-injured rat carotid arter...
متن کاملEnhanced erythropoiesis mediated by activation of the renin-angiotensin system via angiotensin II type 1a receptor.
Although clinical and experimental studies have long suggested a role for the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) in the regulation of erythropoiesis, the molecular basis of this role has not been well understood. We report here that transgenic mice carrying both the human renin and human angiotensinogen genes displayed persistent erythrocytosis as well as hypertension. To identify the receptor mole...
متن کاملAngiotensin type 1a receptor deficiency decreases amyloid β-protein generation and ameliorates brain amyloid pathology
Alzheimer's disease is characterized by neuronal loss and cerebral accumulation of amyloid-β protein (Aβ) and lowering the generation of Aβ is a pivotal approach in the strategy of Alzheimer's disease treatment. Midlife hypertension is a major risk factor for the future onset of sporadic Alzheimer's disease and the use of some antihypertensive drugs may decrease the incidence of Alzheimer's dis...
