Functional interplay between angiotensin II and nitric oxide: cyclic GMP as a key mediator.
Angiotensin II (Ang II) and nitric oxide (NO) signaling pathways mutually regulate each other by multiple mechanisms. Ang II regulates the expression of NO synthase and NO production, whereas NO downregulates the Ang II type I (AT1) receptor. In addition, downstream effectors of Ang II and NO signaling pathways also interact with each other. A feedback mechanism between Ang II and NO is critica...
متن کاملNitric oxide, angiotensin II, and hypertension.
Although initially adaptive, the changes that accompany hypertension, namely, cell growth, endothelial dysfunction, and extracellular matrix deposition, eventually can become maladaptive and lead to end-organ disease such as heart failure, coronary artery disease, and renal failure. A functional imbalance between angiotensin II (Ang II) and nitric oxide (NO) plays an important pathogenetic role...
متن کاملInterplay between connexin40 and nitric oxide signaling during hypertension.
Connexins (Cxs) and endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) contribute to the adaptation of endothelial and smooth muscle cells to hemodynamic changes. To decipher the in vivo interplay between these proteins, we studied Cx40-null mice, a model of renin-dependent hypertension which displays an altered endothelium-dependent relaxation of the aorta because of reduced eNOS levels. These mice, whi...
متن کاملRenal nitric oxide and angiotensin II interaction in renovascular hypertension.
In two-kidney, one clip (2K1C) renovascular hypertension, blood flow is reduced to the clipped but not to the nonclipped kidney, despite elevated angiotensin II. To determine possible interactions between endothelium-derived nitric oxide and angiotensin, we studied bilateral renal blood flow using radioactive microspheres in anesthetized 2K1C hypertensive rats 4 weeks after clipping. We studied...
