Disease relevance of ANG

  • Levels of soluble ANG were elevated in RA (351 +/- 25.7 ng/ml, p < 0.001), in RAEB/RAEB-t (402 +/- 17.9 ng/ml; p < 0.001), in CMML (413.8 +/- 29.5 ng/ml; p < 0.001), and in patients with AML (305.1 +/- 17.1 ng/ml; p < 0.01, controls 255.4 +/- 8.1 ng/ml) [1].
  • In this study, we examined the regulation of VEGF expression in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) by hyperglycemia as well as by angiotensin II (ANG II) [2].
  • We also proved that another tumorigenic androgen receptor-positive prostate cancer cell line, 22Rv1, secretes higher levels of ANG than VEGF [3].
  • BACKGOUND: The distribution of angiogenin (ANG) in normal colorectal and colorectal cancer tissues has not been precisely elucidated, while studies on the clinical significance of ANG have been scanty at best [4].
  • ANG in RA SF was 248.7 +/- 17.4 ng/ml, which did not differ significantly from levels found in osteoarthritis (OA; 305.9 +/- 23.1 ng/ml) [5].
  • Angiogenin is related to worsening heart failure severity (NYHA classification), with the highest levels in NYHA class III [6].

Biological context of ANG

 

Anatomical context of ANG

  • The mainstays of therapy, glycemic control and inhibition of ANG II, are key measures to prevent early podocyte injury and the subsequent development of diabetic nephropathy [23].
  • Persistent activation of the ANG/Tie-2 system in addition to high levels of VEGF may keep the vasculature in a destabilized condition and may account for the continuous formation of new and immature blood vessels resulting in massive plasma extravasation and repeated bleeding episodes [24].
  • Synovial lining cells, macrophages, endothelial cells, and vascular smooth muscle cells were immunopositive for bFGF and ANG; however, their expression was not up-regulated in RA ST compared to ST from OA and normal subjects [5].
  • ANG immunoreactivity was also observed in interstitial cells in the vicinity of and at the invasion front of cancer cells, as well as in normal superficial epithelial cells and in some interstitial cells [4].
  • It may be that some of these mediators, like ANG, play a role in the physiology of normal synovium [5].
 

Associations of ANG with chemical compounds

  • We also examined whether the 12-lipoxygenase (12-LO) product 12-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (12-HETE) can alter VEGF expression, since 12-LO products of arachidonic acid have angiogenic properties, and ANG II as well as high glucose (HG, 25 mM) can increase 12-LO activity and expression in VSMC [2].
  • The RAS exerts its effects by the generation of a family of bioactive angiotensin peptides in which angiotensin II (ANG II) and the angiotensin type 1 (AT1) and angiotensin type 2 (AT2) receptors are most well characterised [25].
  • Here we have used computational docking as a guide for the identification of available NSC-65828 and C-181431 analogues that bind more tightly to ANG, and for the characterization of inhibitor binding modes [26].
  • Application of losartan intracerebroventricularly (i.c.v.) at 0.5 mg/kg suppressed central ANG II-stimulated plasma AVP release [27].
  • Central ANG II induced fetal plasma vasopressin increase was not altered by PD123319 [27].
 

Physical interactions of ANG

  • The augmented intrarenal ANG II coupled with sustained levels of AT1 receptors contribute to the continued ANG II dependent suppression of renal function and sodium excretion thereby maintaining the hypertension [28].
  • ANG II had no effect on the binding of EGF to the high-affinity receptor from 1 to 20 h and did not alter receptor downregulation [29].
 

Enzymatic interactions of ANG

  • ANG II increased (P < 0.05) phosphorylated ERK1/2 protein levels [30].
 

Regulatory relationships of ANG

  • Furthermore, ANG II treatment significantly induced VEGF mRNA and protein expression only in VSMC cultured in HG and not NG [2].
  • The current studies were undertaken to verify whether vascular response to ANG II is increased in adult offspring of low-protein fed dams (LP) compared with control (CTRL) and if so, to examine underlying mechanism(s) [31].
  • Tumor necrosis factor reduced ANG II- and potassium-induced aldosterone synthesis and CYP11B2 mRNA levels [32].
  • ANG II induces secretion and activation of transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) by glomerular mesangial cells [33].
  • Furthermore, ANG II-induced TSP-1 production is dependent on p38 MAPK and JNK signaling [33].
