Expression and role of angiotensin II type 2 receptor in the kidney and mesangial cells of spontaneously hypertensive rats.
Angiotensin II type 2 (AT2) receptor is developmentally regulated and exerts antiproliferative and proapoptotic actions. Genetic ablation of this receptor in mice affects regulation of blood pressure, but the involvement of the AT2 receptor in the pathogenesis of hypertension remains unknown. In the present study, we examined developmental changes of angiotensin receptor subtypes in the kidney ...
متن کاملGrowth-dependent induction of angiotensin II type 2 receptor in rat mesangial cells.
Angiotensin II acts on at least two receptor subtypes, AT1 and AT2. Although the physiological role of the AT2 receptor is still poorly defined, it may be implicated in inhibition of cell growth, vasorelaxation, and apoptosis. In the present study, to investigate the role of the AT2 receptor in the kidney and its implication in hypertensive states, we examined its expression using cultured mesa...
متن کاملGenetic subgrouping of stroke-prone SHR and stroke-resistant SHR.
From these results, we can conclude that the developmental pattern of hypertension in the young age is genetically determined and closely related to the incidence of hemorrhage or infarction. These newly selected substrains of SHRSP with higher incidences of cerebral infarction (SP-2) or hemorrhage (SP-1) are regarded as the better models for studying the pathogenesis, treatment, and prevention...
متن کاملAngiotensin II increases Pax-2 expression in fetal kidney cells via the AT2 receptor.
Although both the renin angiotensin system (RAS) and the paired homeobox 2 gene (Pax-2) seem critically important in renal organogenesis, whether and how they might interact has not been addressed. The present study asked whether a link between the RAS and Pax-2 exists in fetal renal cells, speculating that such an interaction, if present, might influence renal development. Embryonic kidney exp...
متن کاملAngiotensin II type 2 receptor counter-regulates type 1 receptor in catecholamine synthesis in cultured porcine adrenal medullary chromaffin cells.
We previously showed that CGP 42112 (an angiotensin type 2 [AT(2)] agonist) markedly reduces catecholamine biosynthesis by decreasing cGMP production mediated by AT(2), a subtype of Ang II receptor that is dominantly expressed in cultured porcine chromaffin cells. To elucidate the relationship of the 2 types of Ang II receptors, angiotensin type 1 (AT(1)) and AT(2), in the synthesis of catechol...
