Glioblastoma Multiforme Cancer Stem Cells Express Components of the Renin–Angiotensin System
AIM To investigate the expression of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) in cancer stem cells (CSCs), we have previously characterized in glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). METHODS 3,3-Diaminobenzidine (DAB) immunohistochemical (IHC) staining for the stem cell marker, SOX2, and components of the RAS: angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE), (pro)renin receptor (PRR), angiotensin II receptor 1 (ATIIR1)...
متن کاملRenin-angiotensin system and unilateral ureteral obstruction
Unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) is a clinical scenario that leads to obstructive nephropathy. UUO alters the expression of many mediators in the ipsilateral kidney. Renin-angiotensin system (RAS) is involved in UUO. Angiotensin II (Ang II) and angiotensin 1-7 (Ang 1-7) as the main arms of RAS influence kidney function which may alter by UUO. Ang II via Ang II receptor subtypes I (AT1R) ...
متن کاملCentral components of the renin-angiotensin system.
1. Re-establishment of renal blood flow after total renal ischaemia of 4 h duration causes a pressor response in pentobarbitone anaesthetized rats and cats.2. The pressor response is related to the release of renin from the ischaemic kidney.3. Spinal section at any cervical level or stellate ganglionectomy abolishes the pressor response but spinal section caudad to the thorax or vagotomy and tr...
متن کاملNeprilysin is a Mediator of Alternative Renin-Angiotensin-System Activation in the Murine and Human Kidney
Cardiovascular and renal pathologies are frequently associated with an activated renin-angiotensin-system (RAS) and increased levels of its main effector and vasoconstrictor hormone angiotensin II (Ang II). Angiotensin-converting-enzyme-2 (ACE2) has been described as a crucial enzymatic player in shifting the RAS towards its so-called alternative vasodilative and reno-protective axis by enzymat...
متن کاملRat epididymal fat tissue express all components of the renin-angiotensin system.
In the present study the gene expression of components of the renin-angiotensin system was investigated in fat tissue of rats. mRNAs for angiotensinogen, renin, angiotensin-converting enzyme and type I (AT1) angiotensin II receptor were detected in the stromal-vascular fraction of the fat tissue and the same mRNAs, with the exception of the angiotesin-converting enzyme, in the adipocyte fractio...
