Journal ArticleDOI
Angiotensinogen-deficient mice with hypotension.
Keiji Tanimoto,Fumihiro Sugiyama,Yu-ichi Goto,Junji Ishida,Eriko Takimoto,Ken-ichi Yagami,Akiyoshi Fukamizu,Kazuo Murakami +7 more
TL;DR: The present study generated angiotensinogen-deficient mice by homologous recombination in mouse embryonic stem cells, resulting in the complete loss of plasma immunoreactive ang Elliotensin I.
Journal ArticleDOI
Angiotensin II Type 1a Receptor-deficient Mice with Hypotension and Hyperreninemia
Takeshi Sugaya,Shin-ichiro Nishimatsu,Keiji Tanimoto,Eriko Takimoto,Toshiyuki Yamagishi,Kenkichi Imamura,Saori Goto,Kazunori Imaizumi,Yutaka Hisada,Akio Otsuka,Hiromi Uchida,Masaki Sugiura,Katsuhiro Fukuta,Akiyoshi Fukamizu,Kazuo Murakami +14 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that an AT1a-mediated signal transduction pathway is, at least in part, involved in the regulation of blood pressure and renin gene expression.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chimeric renin-angiotensin system demonstrates sustained increase in blood pressure of transgenic mice carrying both human renin and human angiotensinogen genes
Akiyoshi Fukamizu,K. Sugimura,Eriko Takimoto,Fumihiro Sugiyama,Min Seok Seo,Senye Takahashi,Toshihisa Hatae,Noriko Kajiwara,Ken-ichi Yagami,Kazuo Murakami +9 more
TL;DR: Results clearly demonstrated that the sustained increase in blood pressure of the hybrid mice was initiated by the interaction between the products of the two human genes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hypertension Induced in Pregnant Mice by Placental Renin and Maternal Angiotensinogen
Eriko Takimoto,Junji Ishida,Fumihiro Sugiyama,Hisashi Horiguchi,Kazuo Murakami,Akiyoshi Fukamizu +5 more
TL;DR: Maternal hypertension was studied in an animal model by mating transgenic mice expressing components of the human renin-angiotensin system, which may provide molecular insights into pregnancy-associated hypertension in humans.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparative studies on species-specific reactivity between renin and angiotensinogen.
TL;DR: A strictly comparative study on hydrolysis of hANG by hREN and mouse submandibular renin (mREN) in vitro showed that kcat/Km value of mREN for rhANG was 468-fold lower than that for rhREN acting on rhANG.
