Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is the leading complication in type 2 diabetes (T2D) and current therapies that limit CKD progression and the development of cardiovascular disease (CVD) include angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, angiotensin II receptor blockers and sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors.

Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), a component of renin-angiotensin system (RAS) has been identified in pancreas from type 2 diabetic mice and its overexpression prevents beta cell dysfunction.

In NOD mice, ACE2 deletion significantly worsened glucose homeostasis, decreased islet insulin content, increased beta cell oxidative stress, and RIPK1-positive islets as compared with control mice.

Aldosterone acts on renal vessels, renal cells (glomerular mesangial cells, podocytes, vascular smooth muscle cells, tubular epithelial cells, and interstitial fibroblasts), and infiltrating inflammatory cells, inducing reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, upregulated epithelial growth factor receptor (EGFR), and type 1 angiotensin (AT1) receptor expressions, and activating nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB), activator protein-1 (AP-1), and EGFR to further promote cell proliferation, apoptosis, and proliferation.

Phenotypic transformation of epithelial cells stimulates the expression of transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β), connective tissue growth factor (CTGF), osteopontin (OPN), and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1), eventually leading to renal fibrosis.

Downregulation of microRNA-429 contributes to angiotensin II-induced profibrotic effect in rat kidney.
|
19 |
30132344
|
The present study determined whether miR429 participated in angiotensin (ANG) II-induced EMT and fibrogenesis in renal cells.
|
20 |
30132344
|
In NRK-52E cells, a rat proximal tubular cell line, incubation of ANG II (10-9 M) for 24 h significantly reduced the level of miR429 by 60% and increased the protein levels of mesenchymal markers α-smooth muscle actin and fibroblast-specific protein-1 by threefold and decreased epithelial marker E-cadherin by 60%, which was blocked by losartan, an AT1 receptor antagonist.
|
21 |
30132344
|
In cells overexpressed with miR429 transgene, ANG II-induced increases in collagen were abolished.
|
22 |

In this study we investigated the capacity of AngII to modulate glucose uptake in mouse podocytes expressing the human AT1 receptor (AT1R+) after 5 days of exposure to normal (NG, 5.6 mmol/L) or to high (HG, 30 mmol/L) glucose.
|
25 |
30087656
|
In podocytes cultured under NG conditions, AngII inhibited insulin-stimulated glucose uptake.
|
26 |
30087656
|
Regardless of the presence or absence of AngII, no effect of insulin on glucose uptake was observed in HG cells.
|
27 |
30087656
|
Stimulation of glucose transport by AngII was mediated by protein kinase C and by phosphoinositide 3-kinase.
|
28 |
30087656
|
Glucose dependent surface expression of the glucose transporters GLUT1, GLUT2, and GLUT4 was modulated by AngII in a time and glucose concentration dependent manner.
|
29 |
30087656
|
Furthermore, despite its inhibitory effect on insulin's action, AngII elevated the number of podocyte insulin receptors in both NG and HG cultured cells.
|
30 |
30087656
|
These findings demonstrate that AngII modulates podocyte basal, as well as insulin-dependent glucose uptake by regulating glucose transporters and insulin signaling.

At week 24, HF rats showed a significant increase in obesity and insulin resistance associated with podocyte injury, increased microalbuminuria, decreased creatinine clearance and impaired Oat3 function.

|
Renal MDA level and the expression of AT1R, NOX4, p67phox, 4-HNE, phosphorylated PKCα and ERK1/2 were significantly decreased after XOS treatment.
|
33 |

|
In addition, Nrf2-Keap1 pathway, SOD2 and GCLC expression as well as renal apoptosis were also significantly reduced by XOS.
|
34 |
29483238
|
These data suggest that XOS could indirectly restore renal function and Oat3 function via the reduction of oxidative stress and apoptosis through the modulating of AT1R-PKCα-NOXs activation in obese insulin-resistant rats.

CD2-associated protein/phosphoinositide 3-kinase signaling has a preventive role in angiotensin II-induced podocyte apoptosis.
|
111 |
27590856
|
The glomerular slit diaphragm (SD) serves as a size-selective barrier and is linked to the actin-based cytoskeleton by adaptor proteins, including CD2-associated protein (CD2AP).
|
112 |
27590856
|
In addition, CD2AP can facilitate the nephrin-induced phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3-K)/Akt signaling, which protects podocytes from apoptosis.
|
113 |
27590856
|
Here we found that CD2AP staining was located diffusely but predominantly in the peripheral cytoplasm and CD2AP co-localized with nephrin in mouse podocytes; however, Ang II decreased CD2AP staining diffusely and induced a separation from concentrated nephrin.
|
114 |
27590856
|
Ang II notably reduced CD2AP expression in time- and concentration-dependent manners, and this was significantly recovered by losartan.
|
115 |
27590856
|
LY294002, a PI3-K inhibitor, further reduced CD2AP expression and increased podocyte apoptosis, which was augmented by siRNA for CD2AP.
|
116 |
27590856
|
Thus, Ang II induces the relocalization and reduction of CD2AP via AT1R, which would cause podocyte apoptosis by the suppression of CD2AP/PI3-K signaling.

Recent studies showed that G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) serve as upstream regulators of Hippo signaling, that either activate or inactivate the Hippo pathway via the large tumor suppressor kinase (LATS) and its substrate, the co-transcription factor Yes-associated protein (YAP).
|
188 |

In this study, we focused on the Angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT1R), which belongs to the GPCR family and has an essential role in the control of blood pressure and water homeostasis.
|

We found that Angiotensin II (Ang II) inactivates the pathway by decreasing the activity of LATS kinase; therefore, leading to an enhanced nuclear shuttling of unphosphorylated YAP in HEK293T cells.

Although angiotensin II (Ang II) type 1 receptor antagonist ameliorates proteinuria, its pharmacological mechanism and the differential roles of Ang II type 1 receptor (AT1R) and type 2 receptor (AT2R) are not well understood.
|
392 |
17525253

We analyzed the effect of Ang II type 1 receptor antagonist on proteinuria caused by antibody against nephrin, a functional molecule of glomerular slit diaphragm and dysfunction of which is involved in the development of proteinuria in several glomerular diseases.

The cells were stimulated with atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and/or a nitric oxide (NO) donor, S-nitroso-N-acetyl penicillamine (SNAP), in the absence or presence of Ang II.
|
394 |
17229984
|
ANP or SNAP alone increased the cGMP synthesis in podocytes although the effects were not additive unless Ang II was present in the medium.
|
395 |
17229984
|
Ang II suppressed the ANP-dependent cGMP synthesis whereas SNAP-dependent cGMP production remained unaffected.
|
396 |
17229984
|
Adversely, PD123319, a specific inhibitor of AT2 receptors, augmented inhibition of ANP-dependent and enhanced the NO-dependent cGMP production.

|
Probenecid, an inhibitor of cGMP extrusion from the cells, suppressed the cGMP generation by both ANP and SNAP.

We conclude that cGMP synthesis in cultured podocytes is modulated by angiotensin II and that two adversely acting receptors, AT1 and AT2 are involved in this effect.

By indirect immunofluorescence, the cells were positive for cytokeratin, vimentin, desmin, and the ZO-1 protein, a component of the tight junction complex.

The mRNA expression of several components of the renin-angiotensin system was also examined, and some factors indirectly coupled to the renin-angiotensin system component angiotensin II in this podocytic culture by RT-PCR analysis. mRNA Expression for the angiotensin II degrading hydrolase aminopeptidase A and angiotensinogen was found, but this was not found for any other component of this system, such as renin, angiotensin-converting enzyme, or the angiotensin II receptors AT1a, AT1b, and AT2.

In addition, expression of the growth factors transforming growth factor-beta and interleukin-7, and the extracellular matrix components fibronectin, laminin B2, perlecan, and collagen IV alpha 1, was observed.
