Snippet: There are several potential indications of our small ACE2 variants for the treatment of kidney disease. In particular, we think that Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) may benefit from the administration of our small ACE2 variants as a way to calm down the kidney RAS, which is overactive in this clinical syndrome. The pathogenesis of AKI is complex, often involving hemodynamic and non-hemodynamic mechanisms [41] [42] [43] [44] . Alterations in the RAS hav.....
Document: There are several potential indications of our small ACE2 variants for the treatment of kidney disease. In particular, we think that Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) may benefit from the administration of our small ACE2 variants as a way to calm down the kidney RAS, which is overactive in this clinical syndrome. The pathogenesis of AKI is complex, often involving hemodynamic and non-hemodynamic mechanisms [41] [42] [43] [44] . Alterations in the RAS have been shown to contribute to the development of AKI and are associated with adverse outcomes both in experimental and clinical studies [45] [46] [47] [48] [49] [50] . Several components of the kidney RAS, such as urine Angiotensinogen and Ang II, the main active peptide, are increased in experimental AKI caused by ischemia-reperfusion AKI [45] [46] [47] [51] [52] [53] [54] [55] [56] ACE inhibitors (ACEi) and angiotensin receptor antagonists (ARBs) may attenuate renal inflammation, injury and improve renal function in the ischemia-reperfusion model of AKI [57] [58] [59] [60] . Intrarenal Ang II is reportedly elevated in AKI, which may worsen kidney tissue injury independently of its hemodynamic effect that helps maintain renal circulation [61] [62] [63] . Based on these considerations, we are currently studying the effect of ACE2 1-619 in a mouse model of AKI.
