The progress in the research field of diabetic kidney disease (DKD) has been disturbed by the lack of reliable animal models. Angiotensin II (Ang II) type 1 receptor (AT1R)-associated protein (ATRAP) promotes internalization of AT1R and selectively inhibits pathological AT1R signaling. In this study, we investigated whether overactivation of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) through a combination of ATRAP deletion with Ang II stimulation developed a progressive DKD model in C57BL/6 mice, which are resistant to the development of kidney injury.

The internalization of angiotensin II type 1 receptor (ATR) plays an important role in maintaining cardiovascular homeostasis. Decreased receptor internalization is closely related to cardiovascular diseases induced by the abnormal activation of ATR, such as hypertension. However, the mechanism behind reduced ATR internalization is not fully understood.

Transient prehypertensive treatment (TPT) causes prolonged antihypertensive and cardioprotective effects. Reduced angiotensin sensitivity has been attributed to those effects. We hypothesize that prehypertensive preconditioning by angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT1R) blockade improves cardiovascular protection of late-onset AT1R blockade in a model of spontaneous hypertensive heart-failure rats (SHHF/Mcc-fa(cp)).

Gene trapping is a form of insertional mutagenesis that causes disruption of gene function. Here we report the construction and extensive examination of a versatile retrovirus vector, RET (removable exon trap). The RET vector uses an improved poly A-trap strategy for the efficient identification of functional genes regardless of their expression status in target cells.
