Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme 2 Suppresses Pathological Hypertrophy, Myocardial Fibrosis, and Cardiac Dysfunction

TL;DR: Elevated Ang II induced hypertension, myocardial hypertrophy, fibrosis, and diastolic dysfunction were exacerbated by ACE2 deficiency, whereas rhACE2 attenuated Ang II– and pressure-overload–induced adverse myocardia remodeling, suggesting ACE2 is an important negative regulator of Ang II-induced heart disease and suppresses adverse myCardial remodeling.
Journal ArticleDOI

Human Recombinant ACE2 Reduces the Progression of Diabetic Nephropathy

TL;DR: Treatment with hrACE2 attenuates diabetic kidney injury in the Akita mouse in association with a reduction in blood pressure and a decrease in NADPH oxidase activity, and in vitro studies show that the protective effect of hrace2 is due to reduction in ANG II and an increase in ANG 1–7 signaling.
Journal ArticleDOI

Angiotensin II induced proteolytic cleavage of myocardial ACE2 is mediated by TACE/ADAM-17: a positive feedback mechanism in the RAS

TL;DR: In conclusion, Ang II induces ACE2 shedding by promoting TACE activity as a positive feedback mechanism whereby Ang II facilitates the loss of its negative regulator, ACE2.
Journal ArticleDOI

ACE2 Deficiency Worsens Epicardial Adipose Tissue Inflammation and Cardiac Dysfunction in Response to Diet-Induced Obesity

TL;DR: In this article, the role of ACE2 in obesity-related cardiac dysfunction was investigated in mice fed a high-fat diet (HFD) or a control diet (WT) at 6 months of age.
