1 Therefore, our study concentrates on the effect of the ACE-inhibitor ramiprilat on chemokine release, AngII receptor (ATR) expression, and NF-kappaB activity in monocytes stimulated with AngII. ramiprilat angiotensinogen Homo sapiens
2 Ramiprilat dose-dependently suppressed AngII-induced upregulation of IL-8 and MCP-1. ramiprilat angiotensinogen Homo sapiens
3 The suppressive effect of ramiprilat on AngII-induced chemokine production and release was in part caused by downregulation of NF-kappaB, but more by a selective and highly significant reduced expression of AT1 receptors as shown in monocytes and endothelial cells. ramiprilat angiotensinogen Homo sapiens
4 In addition, ramiprilat downregulated NF-kappaB activity and thereby reduced the AngII-induced release of IL-8 and MCP-1 in monocytes. ramiprilat angiotensinogen Homo sapiens
