AIMS Our aim was to determine the contribution of the three angiotensin (Ang) II receptor subtypes (AT(1a), AT(1b), AT(2)) to coronary responsiveness, cardiac histopathology, and tissue Ang II levels using mice deficient for one, two, or all three Ang II receptors. METHODS AND RESULTS Hearts of knockout mice and their wild-type controls were collected for histochemistry or perfused according ...
Some evidence suggests that RNA complementary to the messenger RNA encoding a peptide hormone encodes a complementary peptide that binds the original peptide hormone. The objective of this investigation was to assess in vivo the ability of complementary angiotensin II (II Ang) peptides to block the biological effects of angiotensin II (Ang II). Increasing concentrations of rat or human II Ang w...
The early stage of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is characterized by the formation of subretinal pigment epithelium (RPE) deposits as a result of the dysregulation in the turnover of extracellular matrix (ECM) molecules. However, the mechanism involved remains unclear. Hypertension (HTN) is an important risk factor for AMD, and angiotensin II (ANG II) is the most important hormone asso...
It is well known that angiotensin-(1-7) (Ang-(1-7)) counterbalances vasoconstrictive and proliferative functions of angiotensin II (Ang II), some of those actions are via inhibition of Ang II induced activation of mitogen-activated protein kinases(MAPK). This study investigated the effects of Ang-(1-7) on Ang II-mediated cell signaling pathways in mouse bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (DC)....
Angiotensin II (Ang II) plays an important role in the onset and development of cardiac remodelling associated with changes of autophagy. Angiotensin1-7 [Ang-(1-7)] is a newly established bioactive peptide of renin-angiotensin system, which has been shown to counteract the deleterious effects of Ang II. However, the precise impact of Ang-(1-7) on Ang II-induced cardiomyocyte autophagy remained ...
To investigate the role of human liver-type fatty acid binding protein (hL-FABP) in angiotensin (Ang) II-induced renal injury, Ang II was infused systemically into hL-FABP chromosomal transgenic (Tg) and wild-type (WT) mice (Tg-Ang II and WT-Ang II) for 28 days. Control mice were injected with saline only (Tg-control and WT-control). hL-FABP was expressed in proximal tubules of Tg mice. After a...
Angiotensin (Ang II) plays an important role in atherosclerosis through proinflammatory effect. Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) may mediate inflammatory response. It is unknown whether TLR4 mediates the proinflammatory effect of Ang II. Thus, we observed the role and signaling pathway of TLR4 in Ang II-induced inflammation in rat vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). Ang II and LPS stimulated TNF-a...
Previously, we have reported that the coronary reactive hyperemic response was reduced in adenosine A2A receptor-null (A2AAR?/?) mice, and it reversed by soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) inhibitor. However, is unknown aortic vascular response, therefore, hypothesized A2AAR-gene deletion mice affects adenosine-induced increase sEH A1 receptor (A1AR) activities. A2AAR?/? showed an sEH, AI AR CYP45...
Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibition (ACEi) ameliorates the development of hypertension and the intrarenal ANG II augmentation in ANG II-infused mice. To determine if these effects are associated with changes in the mouse intrarenal renin-angiotensin system, the expression of angiotensinogen (AGT), renin, ACE, angiotensin type 1 receptor (AT(1)R) mRNA (by quanitative RT-PCR) and prote...
OBJECTIVE Angiotensin peptides play a central role in cardiovascular physiology and pathology. Among these peptides, angiotensin II (Ang II) has been investigated most intensively. However, further angiotensin peptides such as Ang 1-7, Ang III, and Ang IV also contribute to vascular regulation, and may elicit additional, different, or even opposite effects to Ang II. Here, we describe a novel A...
