Snippet: ANG-(1-7) is generated from a single residue cleaved by ACE-2 from ANG II [34] , and then ANG-(1-7) could resist many of the effects of Ang II and also potentiate bradykinin action and subsequent nitric-oxide-dependent vasodilation. Studies have demonstrated that ANG-(1-7) and ACE-2 can reduce TGF-β1 levels in cultured fibroblast [35, 36] . Thus, methods of increasing ACE-2 or ANG-(1-7) expression may exert resisting effects on development of PF.....
Document: ANG-(1-7) is generated from a single residue cleaved by ACE-2 from ANG II [34] , and then ANG-(1-7) could resist many of the effects of Ang II and also potentiate bradykinin action and subsequent nitric-oxide-dependent vasodilation. Studies have demonstrated that ANG-(1-7) and ACE-2 can reduce TGF-β1 levels in cultured fibroblast [35, 36] . Thus, methods of increasing ACE-2 or ANG-(1-7) expression may exert resisting effects on development of PF. Similar with the expression of ACE-2, the expression of ANG-(1-7) also decreased after BLM treatment in the current study. TIIA treatment significantly prevented the decrease of ANG-(1-7) expression, in the company of alleviation of collagen deposition and fibrosis.
