Roles of Renin-Angiotensin System in the Regulation of Prostate Cancer Bone Metastasis: A Critical Review
Mestastatic prostate cancer cells (MPCCs) frequently metastasize to bone, which is a “favorite soil” for colonization and proliferation of MPCCs. Prostate cancer bone mestastasis is tightly associated with tumor-induced bone lesions, most commonly caused from the etiological imbalance between osteoblastic bone formation and osteoclastic bone resorption, and from the anti-tumor immune response. ...
متن کاملAT1 receptor-associated protein and septic shock-induced vascular hyporeactivity: another 'magic bullet' in the pipe?
Septic shock remains an important issue for critical care physicians. Despite significant advances in the knowledge of its pathophysiology, new effective therapeutic approaches have yet to emerge. Consequently, research on its pathophysiology must be continued. In a recent study, Katharina Mederle and colleagues explored the impact of angiotensin 1 receptor-associated protein 1 (Arap1) deficien...

متن کاملAngiotensin II: a new approach for refractory shock management?
Patients with distributive shock still have a high mortality rate and remain an important issue for intensivists. Management of catecholamine-resistant shock in these patients poses a challenging problem. Despite significant advances in the knowledge of its pathophysiology, all innovative therapeutic approaches and interventions have failed to improve outcome. In the previous issue of Critical ...
متن کاملStudy of the correlation between ACE gene polymorphism and coronary artery disease
Introduction: Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) is an exopeptidase that converts Angiotensin I to Angiotensin II. Angiotensin II is a potent vasoconstrictor and releases aldosterone, and have a critical role in hypertension. In this study, ACE insertion / deletion (I/D) polymorphism and ACE activity was determined in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) and normal subjects. The corr...
متن کاملRenin-angiotensin system blockers in cardiac surgery.
Major complications associated with cardiac surgery are still common and carry great prognostic significance. β-Blockers, statins, antiplatelets, and renin-angiotensin system (RAS) blockers are current medical interventions to prevent cardiovascular complications in cardiac surgery. Renin-angiotensin system blockers include angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, angiotensin II receptor block...
