چکیده
PURPOSE The pro-inflammatory effects of kinins are mediated by two bradykinin receptors: BR1 and BR2. The aim of this study was to evaluate the expression profile of kinin receptor genes by an estimation of mRNA levels in human nasal polyps (NP) and normal mucosa (NM). MATERIAL AND METHODS BR1 and BR2-dependent genes differentially transcribed in NP were investigated using oligonucleotide microarray technology. The mRNA copy number of BR1, BR2 and TIMP1 genes was assessed by QRT-PCR. Thirty six eosinophilic (ENP), 17 neutrophilic nasal polyps (NNP) and 28 NM samples were included into the study. RESULTS Among 92 genes encoding proteins involved in signal transduction via B1 and B2 kinin receptors TIMP1 was found to be 2,63-fold higher in the NP than in NM. Increased TIMP1 gene expression was proved by QRT-PCR (p=0,003). Moreover two genes: FOS and PTGS1 presented higher (3,82- and 4,27-fold, respectively) expression in NM compared to NP tissues. In QRT-PCR analysis insignificantly higher expression of gene encoding BR1 in ENP [2564 mRNA copies/microg RNA (22-32863)] compared with NM [1426 copies mRNA (15-27995)] was found. mRNA expression for the BR2 in ENP [9872 copies mRNA (19-244832)] was insignificantly higher than in NM [5753 copies (46-199658)]. BR2 mRNA was the predominant transcript in most NP and NM samples followed by BR1 mRNA (p<0,01). There was a positive correlation between the expression of BR1 and BR2 in the ENP (r=0,91; p<0,01) and NNP (r=0,6; p<0,01). CONCLUSIONS We did not document any changes in the expression profile of kinin receptors in the analyzed groups, which may suggest that kinin receptors do not make an important contribution in the etiology of NP.

Bradykinin-related peptides up-regulate the expression of kinin B1 and B2 receptor genes in human promonocytic cell line U937.
Kinins, universal mediators of inflammation, are recognized by two kinds of receptors, B1 and B2, which have been found to be expressed in numerous cell types of several species. However, the knowledge of the regulation of these receptors in leukocytes is still not satisfactory. In the current work, we have demonstrated a constitutive production of B2 receptor mRNA in the human promonocyte U937...

B1- and B2-kinin receptors are G protein-coupled receptors that play an important role in the vascular function. Therefore, the present study was designed to evaluate the participation of kinin receptors in the acetylcholine (ACh)-induced vascular relaxation, focusing on the protein-protein interaction involving kinin receptors with endothelial and neuronal nitric oxide synthases (eNOS and nNOS...

In this study we compare the role of kinin-B1 and B2 receptors during ischaemia/reperfusion of rat pancreas. Our investigations were prompted by the observation that infusion of a kinin-B2 receptor antagonist produced significant improvement in acute experimental pancreatitis. In an acute model with two hours of ischaemia/two hours of reperfusion, application of the kinin-B1 receptor antagonist...
متن کاملKinin B1 receptors contributes to acute pain following minor surgery in humans
BACKGROUND Kinins play an important role in regulation of pain and hyperalgesia after tissue injury and inflammation by activating two types of G-protein-coupled receptors, the kinin B1 and B2 receptors. It is generally accepted that the B2 receptor is constitutively expressed, whereas the B1 receptor is induced in response to inflammation. However, little is known about the regulatory effects ...
