Abstract

The renin-angiotensin aldosterone system (RAAS) plays a pivotal role in the development of hypertension. Angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), which primarily metabolises angiotensin (Ang) II to generate the beneficial heptapeptide Ang-(1-7), serves as a negative regulator of the RAAS. Apelin is a second catalytic substrate for ACE2 and functions as an inotropic and cardiovascular protective peptide. The physiological effects of Apelin are exerted through binding to its receptor APJ, a seven-transmembrane G protein-coupled receptor that shares significant homology with the Ang II type 1 receptor (AT1R). The deregulation of microRNAs, a class of short and small noncoding RNAs, has been shown to involve cardiovascular remodeling and pathogenesis of hypertension via the activation of the Ang II/AT1R pathway. MicroRNAs are linked with modulation of the ACE2/Apelin signaling, which exhibits beneficial effects in the cardiovascular system and hypertension. The ACE2-coupled crosstalk among the RAAS, the Apelin system, and microRNAs provides an important mechanistic insight into hypertension. This paper focuses on what is known about the ACE2/Apelin signaling and its biological roles, paying particular attention to interactions and crosstalk among the ACE2/Apelin signaling, microRNAs, and hypertension, aiming to facilitate the exploitation of new therapeutic medicine to control hypertension.

摘要

肾素-血管紧张素-醛固酮系统(RAAS)在高血压的发生发展中起关键作用。血管紧张素转换酶2(ACE2)主要将血管紧张素(Ang)II代谢生成具有有益作用的七肽Ang-(1-7),它作为RAAS的负性调节因子。Apelin是ACE2的第二种催化底物,具有正性肌力作用且是一种心血管保护肽。Apelin的生理效应通过与它的受体APJ结合来发挥,APJ是一种七跨膜G蛋白偶联受体,与血管紧张素II 1型受体(AT1R)具有显著同源性。微小RNA(一类短的非编码小RNA)失调已被证明通过激活Ang II/AT1R途径参与心血管重塑和高血压发病机制。微小RNA与ACE2/Apelin信号传导的调节有关,ACE2/Apelin信号传导在心血管系统和高血压中具有有益作用。RAAS、Apelin系统和微小RNA之间由ACE2介导的相互作用为高血压提供了重要的机制性见解。本文重点关注关于ACE2/Apelin信号传导及其生物学作用的已知信息,特别关注ACE2/Apelin信号传导、微小RNA与高血压之间的相互作用和串扰,旨在促进开发控制高血压的新型治疗药物。
