NRIP1 regulates cell proliferation in lung adenocarcinoma cells.

Nuclear receptor interacting protein 1 (NRIP1) is a transcription cofactor that regulates the activity of nuclear receptors and transcription factors. Functional expression of NRIP1 has been identified in multiple cancers. However, the expression and function of NRIP1 in lung adenocarcinoma have remained unclear.

Pericyte detachment and renal congestion involve interstitial injury and fibrosis in Dahl salt-sensitive rats and humans with heart failure.

Congestive heart failure produces fluid volume overload, central and renal venous pressure elevation, and consequently renal congestion, which results in worsening renal function. Pericyte detachment and pericyte-myofibroblast transition (PMT) were linked to renal interstitial fibrosis. Dahl salt-sensitive hypertensive (DahlS) rats are a non-surgical renal congestion model.

Sodium glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor suppresses renal injury in rats with renal congestion.

Renal congestion is an issue of cardiorenal syndrome in patients with heart failure. Recent clinical and basic studies suggest a renoprotective potential of sodium-glucose cotransporter (SGLT) 2 inhibitors. However, the effect on renal congestion and its mechanism is not fully understood.

Inhibition of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 suppresses renal stone formation.

Background And Aims: Nephrolithiasis is a common renal disease with no effective medication. Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors, an anti-diabetic agent, have diuretic and anti-inflammatory properties and could prevent nephrolithiasis. Here, we investigated the potential of SGLT2 inhibition against nephrolithiasis using large-scale epidemiological data, animal models, and cell culture experiments.

(Pro)renin receptor and insulin signalling regulate cell proliferation in MCF-7 breast cancer cells.

(Pro)renin receptor [(P)RR] is related to both the renin-angiotensin system and V-ATPase with various functions including stimulation of cell proliferation. (P)RR is implicated in the pathophysiology of diabetes mellitus and cancer. Hyperinsulinemia is observed in obesity-related breast cancer.

Elevated (Pro)renin Receptor Expression by Anti-Cancer Drugs, Carboplatin and Paclitaxel, in Cultured Cancer Cells: Possible Involvement of Apoptosis and Autophagy.

(Pro)renin receptor [(P)RR] is a component of the renin-angiotensin system and plays an essential role in the activity of vacuolar H-ATPase and autophagy. (P)RR is expressed in cancer cells. However, the relationship among (P)RR, apoptosis and autophagy in the treatment of anti-cancer drugs has not been clarified.

(Pro)renin receptor/ATP6AP2 is required for autophagy and regulates proliferation in lung adenocarcinoma cells.

(Pro)renin receptor ((P)RR)/ ATP6AP2 (ATPase, H transporting, lysosomal accessory protein 2) functions as an essential accessory subunit of vacuolar H -ATPase (V-ATPase). V-ATPase is necessary for lysosome function and autophagy. Autophagy is related to cell proliferation, migration and invasion of various cancer cells.

Increased soluble (pro)renin receptor protein by autophagy inhibition in cultured cancer cells.

(Pro)renin receptor ((P)RR) regulates the renin-angiotensin system and functions as an essential accessory subunit of vacuolar H -ATPase. There is accumulating evidence that shows close relationship between (P)RR and autophagy. Soluble (P)RR consisting of the extracellular domain of (P)RR is generated from (P)RR by proteolytic enzymes.
