Nucleosides are essential for RNA and DNA synthesis. They also play a central role in other cellular metabolic pathways, and modulate a diverse array of physiological processes, including renal and cardiovascular function and neurotransmission. Due to their hydrophilic nature, specialized...

The renin-angiotensin system (RAS) has been implicated in vascular inflammation and atherosclerosis. Angiotensin II via the ATR1 can activate monocytes to produce inflammatory factors and increase adhesion. ATR1 expression is partly regulated by alternate splicing of the ATR1 gene. The RAS may...

Both ACE2 and apelin have been reported playing important roles in regulating cardiovascular structure and function. In this study, we used ACE2 or apelin gene knockout or knockdown mice to explore the roles of ACE2 or apelin in cardiovascular diseases. In particular, we created animal disease...

NHE1, whose activity and expression are elevated in cardiac hypertrophy, requires an acidifying pathway provided by AE3-mediated Cl-/HCO3- exchange to sustain its activity. Carbonic anhydrase II (CAII) interacts with NHE1 and AE3 to induce hypertrophy but the role of AE3 in hypertrophy is poorly...

Ischemic cardiomyopathy remains the primary cause of heart failure worldwide. A disintegrin and metalloproteinases (ADAMs) are a family of membrane-bound proteases with diverse functions. ADAM15 is expressed in the myocardium and is involved in mechanisms associated with ischemic heart disease...

Abnormalities in calcium homeostasis can result in kidney stones, a painful and potentially life-threatening condition. Improved therapies for this disorder can only be achieved through increased fundamental knowledge about calcium handling. In the kidneys, filtered calcium (Ca2+) is reabsorbed...
