Disease relevance of Ang1

  • However, when Ang1 expression was initiated simultaneously with that of VEGF, it strongly suppressed VEGF-induced NV and prevented retinal detachment [1].
  • The contribution of COMP-Ang1 in renal interstitial fibrosis, however, remains to be clarified [2].
  • This study investigated the effects of COMP-Ang1 on peritubular capillary EC in the renal cortex and the renal fibrogenic process that is triggered by unilateral ureteral obstruction [2].
  • These observations demonstrate the potential of Ang1 as a new therapeutic modality for MC dropout in diseases such as diabetic retinopathies [3].
  • Increased expression of Ang1 in eyes with severe retinal ischemia or in eyes with rupture of Bruch's membrane significantly suppressed the development of retinal or choroidal neovascularization, respectively [4].
 

High impact information on Ang1

  • The angiopoietins Ang-1 and Ang-2 have been identified as ligands of the receptor tyrosine kinase Tie-2 (refs. 1,2) [5].
  • Direct comparison of transgenic mice overexpressing these factors in the skin revealed that the VEGF-induced blood vessels were leaky, whereas those induced by Ang1 were nonleaky [6].
  • Finally, ephrinB ligands induce capillary sprouting in vitro with a similar efficiency as angiopoietin-1 (Ang1) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), demonstrating a stimulatory role of ephrins in the remodeling of the developing vascular system [7].
  • In Langendorff-perfused guinea pig hearts, mast cell degranulation with compound 48/80 released Ang I-forming activity [8].
  • Taken together, these findings indicate that COMP-Ang1 can promote wound healing in diabetes through enhanced angiogenesis, lymphangiogenesis, and blood flow [9].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of Ang1

  • Because endotoxin-induced shock is a condition with microvascular leakage resulting from inflammation, we examined the potential therapeutic benefit of Ang1 in a murine model of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced endotoxic shock [10].
  • Our group has shown previously that RV inhibits angiotensin II (Ang II)-induced Akt activation and, consequently, vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) hypertrophy [11].
  • The highly lipophilic ACE inhibitor imidapril (Vitortrade mark) (30 mg kg(-1)) attenuated the development of weight loss in mice bearing the MAC16 tumour, suggesting that Ang II may play a role in the development of cachexia in this model [12].
  • Recombinant human Ang-1 antisense eukaryotic expression vector was constructed by directional cloning, and transfected by lipofectin method into human gastric cancer line SGC7901 with high Ang-1 expression level [13].
 

Biological context of Ang1

 

Anatomical context of Ang1

 

Associations of Ang1 with chemical compounds

  • This study investigated the expression patterns of the Ang-Tie-2 family of endothelium-specific receptor tyrosine kinases and vascular endothelial growth factors and their receptors (VEGF-VEGFR system) during postnatal mouse lung development [21].
  • The Ang1-induced ROS was identified as hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) using adenovirus-catalase infection [22].
  • We found that human umbilical vein endothelial cells treated with Ang1 produce ROS transiently, which was suppressed by NADPH oxidase inhibitor, diphenylene-iodonium chloride, and rotenone [22].
  • After intraperitoneal glucose challenge, COMP-Ang1 significantly lowered plasma glucose levels [23].
  • Examination of the uteri revealed Ang-2 mRNA and protein expression in the oestrogen-dominated cycling phase and the progesterone-dominated mated phase, whereas Ang-1 expression was restricted to the mated phase [24].
 

Other interactions of Ang1

  • In the present study, the relationship of Angrp to Ang has been investigated by producing both proteins in bacteria and comparing their functional properties [25].
  • This and other evidence suggests that the RNase A superfamily originated from an RNase 5-like gene and expanded in mammals [26].
  • A chimeric mouse/human antibody directed against the human transferrin receptor (E6) was fused at its CH2 domain to the gene for a human angiogenic ribonuclease, angiogenin (Ang) [27].
  • The enhanced survival rate induced by Ang1 was accompanied by an improvement in hemodynamic function, reduced lung injury, a lower expression of inflammatory adhesion molecules, and preserved eNOS activity in the lung tissue [10].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Ang1

  • Although the Ang gene was not isolated from this library, it was possible to amplify this gene from 129 mouse genomic DNA by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) [16].
  • Sequence analysis showed that the 129 strain Ang gene is identical to the BALB/c gene throughout the coding region [16].
  • Using semiquantitative RT-PCR, we demonstrate that DEX treatment down regulates Ang-1 mRNA levels by 3- to 4-fold [20].
  • We previously reported that overexpression of Ang1 in MCF7 xenograft tumors facilitated vessel stabilization by mural cells, and that cultured SMC express Tie2 [28].
  • Intravenous injection of adenovirus encoding VEGF (Adeno-VEGF) resulted in widespread tissue oedema within 1-2 days after administration, whereas injection of Adeno-Ang1 resulted in the skin vessels becoming less leaky in response to topical inflammatory stimuli or local injection of VEGF [29].
