Uric acid induced inflammatory responses in endothelial cells via up-regulating(pro)renin receptor
Hyperuricemia is an important risk factor for vascular inflammation, yet the potential mechanisms of uric acid (UA) in endothelial cells are not well understood. UA has been found to stimulate renin-angiotensin system (RAS) activation in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). (Pro)renin re...
