1 Aortic and renal tissues have uncoupled eNOS and increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) in PRCP(gt/gt) mice as detected by dihydroethidium or Amplex Red fluorescence or lucigenin luminescence. Reactive Oxygen Species prolylcarboxypeptidase (angiotensinase C) Mus musculus
2 Aortic and renal tissues have uncoupled eNOS and increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) in PRCP(gt/gt) mice as detected by dihydroethidium or Amplex Red fluorescence or lucigenin luminescence. Reactive Oxygen Species prolylcarboxypeptidase (angiotensinase C) Mus musculus
3 The importance of ROS is evidenced by the fact that treatment of PRCP(gt/gt) mice with antioxidants (mitoTEMPO, apocynin, Tempol) abrogates the hypertensive, prothrombotic phenotype. Reactive Oxygen Species prolylcarboxypeptidase (angiotensinase C) Mus musculus
4 Further, PRCP siRNA treatment of endothelial cells shows increased ROS and uncoupled eNOS and decreased protein C activation because of thrombomodulin inactivation. Reactive Oxygen Species prolylcarboxypeptidase (angiotensinase C) Mus musculus
5 Collectively, our studies identify PRCP as a novel regulator of vascular ROS and homeostasis. Reactive Oxygen Species prolylcarboxypeptidase (angiotensinase C) Mus musculus
