Background: Activation of dendritic cells (DCs) is necessary to initiate immune responses.
Angiotensin II (Ang II) has been reported to have a proinflammatory and immunomodulatory …

The renin‐angiotensin system exerts a profound regulatory effect on the functional features
of dendritic cells (DCs), thus suggesting a new target of angiotensin II (Ang II) action in the …

It is well known that angiotensin-(1–7)(Ang-(1–7)) counterbalances vasoconstrictive and
proliferative functions of angiotensin II (Ang II), some of those actions are via inhibition of …

We previously identified the gene expression of renin–angiotensin system in human
monocyte-derived dendritic cells (DCs). This study was conducted to examine the …

The activation of dendritic cells (DC s) is necessary to initiate immune responses.
Angiotensin II (A ng II) can enhance the maturation and activation of DC s, but the …

Background/Aim: Novel information on the role of endogenous compounds in regulating
physiological and pathological process are of interest, as it may lead to the development of …

Dendritic cells (DC) are highly specialized antigen-presenting cells with a unique ability to
activate resting T lymphocytes and initiate primary immune responses. Angiotensin II (AII) is …

Angiotensin II (Ang II), a central renin–angiotensin system (RAS) effector molecule, and its
receptors, AT1 and AT2, have been shown to be involved in the inflammatory aspects of …

Objective High levels of both angiotensin (Ang) II and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α have
been implicated in the pathogenesis of glomerular injury by affecting podocytes. The aim of …

Objective—Immune cells contribute to angiotensin II (ATII)–induced vascular dysfunction
and inflammation. Interferon-γ (IFN-γ), an inflammatory cytokine exclusively produced by …
