Dual RAS therapy not on target, but fully alive.
Inhibitors of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) form a cornerstone in the treatment of kidney disease. These drugs lower blood pressure and albuminuria, and afford renal protection. Dual therapy with an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor and angiotensin receptor blocker have been shown to be more effective in reducing blood pressure and albuminuria than the single use of these agents. It ...

متن کاملRas-GRF activates Ha-Ras, but not N-Ras or K-Ras 4B, protein in vivo.
Human cells contain four homologous Ras proteins, but it is unknown whether these homologues have different biological functions. As a first step in determining if Ras homologues might participate in distinct signaling cascades, we assessed whether a given Ras guanine nucleotide exchange factor could selectively activate a single Ras homologue in vivo. We found that Ras-GRF/Cdc25Mm activates Ha...
متن کاملSuperoxide Inhibits Guanine Nucleotide Exchange Factor (GEF) Action on Ras, but not on Rho, through Desensitization of Ras to GEF
Ras and Rho GTPases are molecular switches for various vital cellular signaling pathways. Overactivation of these GTPases often causes development of cancer. Guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs) and oxidants function to upregulate these GTPases through facilitation of guanine nucleotide exchange (GNE) of these GTPases. However, the effect of oxidants on GEF functions, or vice versa, has n...
متن کاملRas GTPases: Codon Bias Holds KRas Down but Not Out
Rare codons selectively limit the accumulation of Ras family member proteins with important consequences for Ras pathway activation and tumorigenesis.
