To determine whether the expression of the type 1 angiotensin II receptor (AT1) gene is developmentally regulated and whether the regulation is tissue specific, AT1 mRNA levels were determined by Northern blot analysis in livers and kidneys from fetal, newborn, and adult rats, using a 1133-bp rat AT1 cDNA. In the liver, AT1 mRNA levels increased fivefold from 15 d gestation to 5 d of age. Liver...

Hyperactivity of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system through the angiotensin II (Ang II)/Ang II type 1 receptor (AT1-R) axis constitutes a hallmark of hypertension. Recent findings indicate that only a subset of AT1-R signaling pathways is cardiodeleterious, and their selective inhibition by biased ligands promotes therapeutic benefit. To date, only synthetic biased ligands have been descr...

Angiotensin II (Ang II) is known to induce cardiomyocyte hypertrophy by activating the Ang II type 1 (AT1) receptor. Some studies have demonstrated that the autoantibodies against angiotensin AT1 receptor (AT1-AAs) cause functional effects, which is similar to those observed for the natural agonist Ang II. In this study, we investigated the effects of AT1-AAs on cardiomyocytes' structure and fu...

To identify genes of known function expressed by type I (AT1) cells, changes in gene expression during transdifferentiation of alveolar epithelial cells (AEC) in primary culture from type II (AT2) to type I-like cell phenotype were evaluated. Total RNA from AEC on Day 0 or Day 8 was hybridized to a rat microarray for screening. Eight upregulated genes on Day 8 were selected for further investig...

The mechanisms involved in angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT1-R) trafficking and membrane localization are largely unknown. In this study, we examined the role of caveolin in these processes. Electron microscopy of plasma membrane sheets shows that the AT1-R is not concentrated in caveolae but is clustered in cholesterol-independent microdomains; upon activation, it partially redistributes to ...

BACKGROUND An interaction of insulin with angiotensin II effects could be pathophysiologically important for the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and hypertension. METHODS AND RESULTS We examined the effect of insulin on AT1 receptor gene expression in cultured vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). A 24-hour incubation with insulin (100 nmol/L) produced a 2-fold increase in AT1 receptor densit...

Agonistic autoantibodies to the angiotensin II type I receptor (AT1-AA) and endothelin -1 (ET-1) are suggested to be important links between placental ischemia and hypertension during preeclampsia. Activation of the angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT1R) increases endothelial cell production of ET-1; however, the importance of ET-1 in response to AT1-AA-mediated AT1 R activation during preeclamp...

The current study was to prepare a mouse-derived antibody against the angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT1-mAb) based on monoclonal antibody technology, to provide a foundation for research on AT1-AA-positive diseases. Balb/C mice were actively immunized with the second extracellular loop of the angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT1R-ECII). Then, mouse spleen lymphocytes were fused with myeloma ce...
