Desensitization of type 1 angiotensin II receptor subtypes in the rat kidney.
Differences involving serine residues in the sequence of the carboxyl-terminal tail of type 1 angiotensin II (Ang II) receptor subtypes AT(1A) and AT(1B) suggest differences in desensitization ability. We examined the Ang II-induced homologous desensitization patterns of both receptor subtypes in freshly isolated renal structures: glomerulus (Glom), afferent arteriole, and cortical thick ascend...
متن کاملAngiotensin II type 1 receptor antibodies in childhood kidney transplantation.
Angiotensin II type 1 receptor antibodies (AT1 RAb) have emerged as non-HLA Ab present in patients with acute AMR and risk of graft loss. Furthermore, AT1 RAb have been shown to increase angiotensin II sensitivity which may play a role in the development of CVD and hypertension. Data on AT1 RAb in stable transplant recipients are lacking. The aim of this study was to analyze the levels of AT1 R...
متن کاملCharacterization of angiotensin II receptor subtypes in rat heart.
Angiotensin II exerts positive inotropic and chronotropic effects on the mammalian heart by binding to specific membrane receptors. Recently, two subtypes of angiotensin II receptors (AT1 and AT2) have been distinguished by using the nonpeptide antagonists losartan (previously known as DuP 753) and PD123177. To evaluate the tissue distribution and subtypes of angiotensin II receptors in rat hea...
متن کاملUpregulation of angiotensin II type 1 receptor, inflammatory mediators, and enzymes of arachidonate metabolism in obese Zucker rat kidney: reversal by angiotensin II type 1 receptor blockade.
BACKGROUND Severe obesity can result in proteinuria and progressive glomerulosclerosis in humans and experimental animals. The associated renal disease is ameliorated by weight reduction and/or blockade of the renin-angiotensin system. Various growth factors, cytokines, and lipid mediators are implicated in the pathogenesis of renal disease. To explore the possible involvement of these mediator...
متن کاملAngiotensin II Receptor Subtypes in the Kidney1
The kidney is an important target organ for angiotensin II. The diverse biologic effects of angiotensin II in the kidney and periphery suggest that angiotensin II may be interacting with more than one receptor. Recently, the synthesis of highly selective nonpeptide angiotensin II receptor antagonists and the expression cloning of the angiotensin receptor have unequivocally demonstrated the exis...
