Objective: To determine whether NP-6A4 (a new AT2R peptide agonist with an FDA orphan drug designation for pediatric cardiomyopathy) would mitigate cardiac damage from chronic inflammation induced by untreated obesity.

Summary: Seventeen pro-inflammatory and pro-fibrotic cytokines that increase during lethal cytokine storms caused by infections such as COVID-19 were among the cytokines suppressed by NP-6A4 treatment in ZO rat heart. Thus, NP-6A4 activates a novel anti-inflammatory network comprised of 21 proteins in the heart that was not reported previously. Since NP-6A4’s unique mode of action suppresses pro-inflammatory cytokine network and attenuates myocardial damage, it can be an ideal adjuvant drug with other anti-glycemic, anti-hypertensive, standard-of-care drugs to protect the heart tissues from pro-inflammatory and pro-fibrotic cytokine attack induced by obesity.

Smith MT, Woodruff TM, Wyse BD, Muralidharan A, Walther T (2013) A small molecule angiotensin II type 2 receptor (AT₂R) antagonist produces analgesia in a rat model of neuropathic pain by inhibition of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and p44/p42 MAPK activation in the dorsal root ganglia. Pain Med 14(10):1557-1568. doi: 10.1111/pme.12157

Objective: To elucidate the mechanism through which EMA300, a small molecule antagonist of the angiotensin II type 2 receptor (AT2R) with >1,000-fold selectivity over the angiotensin II type 1 receptor, produces analgesia in a rodent model of neuropathic pain.

Summary: Augmented angiotensin II/AT2R signaling in the DRGs of CCI rats is attenuated by EMA300 to block p38 MAPK and p44/p42 MAPK activation, a mechanism with clinical validity for alleviating neuropathic pain.

Usage: Immunostaining (1:250), rat DRG sections

Immunohistochemical localization of AT1a, AT1b, and AT2 Angiotensin II receptor subtypes in the rat adrenal, pituitary, and brain with a perspective commentary.

Objective: To immunohistochemically differentiate the angiotensin receptor subtypes: AT-1ARa, AT-1ARb, and AT-2R.

Summary: Antibodies that can differentiate the three different angiotensin II receptor subtypes in the rat were used to immunohistochemically label angiotensin II receptor subtype-like immunoreactivity in the rat adrenal, pituitary, and brain. The pattern of staining corroborates mRNA, radioligand binding, and functional studies of adrenal and anterior pituitary angiotensin receptors.

Usage: Western blot (1:500), immunofluorescence (1:500), immunocytochemistry (AB-N25AP and AB-N26AP at 1:500, AB-N28AP at 1:2000).

Angiotensin-II is a putative neurotransmitter in lactate-induced panic-like responses in rats with disruption of GABAergic inhibition in the dorsomedial hypothalamus.

Shekhar A, Johnson PL, Sajdyk TJ, Fitz SD, Keim SR, Kelley PE, Gehlert DR, DiMicco JA (2006) Angiotensin-II is a putative neurotransmitter in lactate-induced panic-like responses in rats with disruption of GABAergic inhibition in the dorsomedial hypothalamus. J Neurosci 26(36):9205-9215. doi: 10.1523/JNEUROSCI.2491-06.2006

Objective: To determine the exact mechanism for lactate to elicit a panic attack.

Summary: Results implicate A-II pathways and the A-II receptors (AT-1Ra, AT-1Rb) in the hypothalamus as putative substrates for sodium lactate-induced panic-like responses in vulnerable subjects.

Usage: Immunohistochemistry (1:500), Western blot (1:500)

NADPH oxidase contributes to angiotensin II signaling in the nucleus tractus solitarius.

Objective: To investigated whether NADPH oxidase is involved in angiotensin II signaling in central autonomic neurons.

Summary: Angiotensin II (AngII), acting through angiotensin type 1 (AT1 ) receptors, exerts powerful effects on central autonomic networks regulating cardiovascular homeostasis and fluid balanceColocalization of AT-1r’s and a NADPH oxidase subunit provides evidence that NADPH oxidase is involved in the effects of angiotensin II on autonomic neurons.

Angiotensin II subtype 1A (AT1A) receptors in the rat sensory vagal complex: Subcellular localization and association with endogenous angiotensin.

Objective: To determine interactive sites in the sensory vagal complex of rat brain using dual immunolabeling of antisera recognizing the AT1-AR and Ang II.

Summary: In the rat sensory vagal complex, AT-1A receptors are strategically positioned for involvement in modulation of the postsynaptic excitability and intracrine hormone-like effects of Ang II. In addition, these receptors have distributions consistent with diverse roles in regulation of transmitter release, regional blood flow and/or vascular permeability.
