چکیده

Renin and angiotensins coexist in various tissues. The mode of control of the extrarenal renin-angiotensin system is not clear. Whether it is renin or angiotensin that is secreted has not been identified. We have investigated gonadotropin-dependent synthesis and subsequent release of the components of the intracellular renin-angiotensin system in a cloned and cultured mouse Leydig tumor cell line (MA-10). Treatment of cultured Leydig cells with bovine luteinizing hormone (bLH, 100 ng/ml) or human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG, 25 ng/ml) resulted in greater than 150- and 40- fold increased formation of angiotensin I and angiotensin II. In cells incubated with bLH or hCG, the majority of AII (up to 90%) was found in the culture medium while most of angiotensin I (greater than 85%) was in the cell lysate. Treatment with gonadotropic hormones (bLH/ hCG) increased renin 35- to 40-fold. Renin activity was confined mainly in the cell lysate even after the stimulation by gonadotropins, and only 1-2% of the total renin activity was detectable in culture medium. These results were interpreted that, in these transformed cells, hormonally-induced renin functions to generate angiotensin I within the Leydig cell and it is the angiotensins which are secreted.

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. ...

NEP, ACE and Homologues: The Pathophysiology of Membrane Metalloproteases

The zinc metalloprotease, neprilysin (NEP), plays a role in the metabolism of cardiovascular, inflammatory and neuropeptides, including mitogenic peptides such as bombesin. In the cardiovascular system, NEP has a primary role in the inactivation of natriuretic peptides but also contributes to local metabolism of angiotensin, endothelins and bradykinin. Hence NEP is seen as a potential therapeut...

Increased adrenal renin in transgenic hypertensive rats, TGR(mREN2)27, and its regulation by cAMP, angiotensin II, and calcium.

The newly established rat strain TGR(mREN2)27 is a monogenetic model in hypertension research. Microinjecting the mouse Ren-2d renin gene caused it to become a stable part of the genome. The rats are characterized by fulminant hypertension, low plasma active renin, suppressed kidney renin, high plasma inactive renin, and high extrarenal transgene expression, most prominently in the adrenal cort...

The role of local renin-angiotensin system on high glucose-induced cell toxicity, apoptosis and reactive oxygen species production in PC12 cells

Objective(s): Hyperglycemia, oxidative stress and apoptosis have key roles in pathogenesis of diabetic neuropathy. There are local renin-angiotensin systems (RASs) in different tissues such as neural tissue. Local RASs are involved in physiological and pathophysiological processes such as inflammation, proliferation and apoptosis. This study aimed to investigate the role of local renin-angioten...
