Disease relevance of Arg2

 

Psychiatry related information on Arg2

  • Since angiotensin II (AII) is a powerful elicitor of drinking behavior, we investigated the influence of the angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor, captopril, on the amount of water consumed by the STR/N mouse [5].
  • Male spiny mice (Acomys cahirinus) were challenged with several putative dipsogenic stimulus conditions: hypertonic sodium chloride (NaCl), 24-h water deprivation, d,l-isoproterenol HCl, angiotensin II (AII) and polyethylene glycol (PEG), or control conditions, in within-subjects designs [6].

Biological context of Arg2

 

Anatomical context of Arg2

  • Immunohistochemical analysis showed that arginase I is induced in macrophages, whereas arginase II is induced in various cell types, including macrophages and myofibroblasts, and roughly colocalizes with the collagen-specific chaperone heat shock protein 47 [18].
  • In conclusion, in both genders, AII gene expression is restricted to the PST and localized into mitochondria [15].
  • The N-terminal Arg2, Arg3 and Arg4 of human lactoferrin interact with sulphated molecules but not with the receptor present on Jurkat human lymphoblastic T-cells [19].
  • Administration of thiorphan , an enkephalin dipeptidyl carboxypeptidase inhibitor, did not potentiate the analgesic effect of D- Arg2 -Met5-enkephalin, whereas it dramatically enhanced the effect of D-Ala2-Met5-enkephalin, when both drugs were administered concomitantly into the cisterna magna of mice [20].
  • AI and AII were detected only in neurons and not in glial cells [21].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Arg2

  • By the intravenous route, only D- Arg2 -Met5-enkephalin, which induced a most potent analgesia by intracisternal injection, was effective [20].
  • Orchidectomy increased the renal level of OAT protein and decreased that of ODC and arginase II [24].
  • This study was undertaken to explore the cellular and regional distribution of AI and AII expression in brain using in situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry [21].
  • In contrast, most studies, at least in cell culture, suggest that AII may be most highly expressed in cancers of a number of different types [29].
  • Arginase II protein was expressed constitutively in wild-type and C/EBPbeta-/- cell lines and was unaltered by 8-Br-cAMP or rmIL-4. rmIL-4-stimulated immortalized C/EBPbeta-/- macrophages demonstrated higher nuclear signal transducer and activator of transcription-6 (STAT6) and phospho-STAT6 content than their +/+ counterparts [30].
