Chymase activity in synovial fluids of collagen-induced-arthritis rats regulates gelatinase release and promotes synovial fibroblasts proliferation via FAK/p21 signaling pathway.
Title: Mast cell chymase in synovial fluid of collagen-induced-arthritis rats regulates gelatinase release and promotes synovial fibroblasts proliferation via FAK/p21 signaling pathway.
The pathobiologic response in WKY rats was directly linked to increases in cardiac gene expression and enzymatic activity of chymase and modest reductions in ACE2 activity.
Title: Blunting of cardioprotective actions of estrogen in female rodent heart linked to altered expression of cardiac tissue chymase and ACE2.
Compared to chymase, ACE-mediated angiotensin-(1-12) metabolism in the heart was several fold lower. Overall our findings suggest that angiotensin-(1-12), not Ang I, is the better substrate for Ang II formation by chymase in adult rats.
Title: Primacy of cardiac chymase over angiotensin converting enzyme as an angiotensin-(1-12) metabolizing enzyme.
In a pure VO model, chymase produced in adult cardiac fibroblasts leads to autophagic degradation of newly synthesized intracellular procollagen I, suggesting a new role of chymase in extracellular matrix degradation.
Title: Increased fibroblast chymase production mediates procollagen autophagic digestion in volume overload.
The results indicate an important role for chymase in inducing fibrosis through TGF-beta1 activation, parallel with Ang II effects.
Title: Role of chymase in diabetic nephropathy.
These results suggest that chymase can promote cardiac fibroblast proliferation and collagen synthesis via TGF-beta 1/Smad pathway rather than angiotensin II, which is implicated in the process of myocardial fibrosis.
Title: Chymase induces profibrotic response via transforming growth factor-beta 1/Smad activation in rat cardiac fibroblasts.
chymase inactivates the FAK-mediated cell survival signaling
Title: Activated mast cells induce endothelial cell apoptosis by a combined action of chymase and tumor necrosis factor-alpha.
Based on the results, this study suggested rMCP-5 is a key promoter of angiogenesis in the rat.
Title: Inhibition of granuloma-associated angiogenesis by controlling mast cell mediator release: role of mast cell protease-5.
Plasma ANG II does not appear to regulate intrarenal chymase activity. ACE-independent ANG II production by chymase may provide mechanism for augmenting intrarenal ANG II in ischemic kidney in renovascular hypertension.
Title: Angiotensin converting enzyme-independent angiotensin ii production by chymase is up-regulated in the ischemic kidney in renovascular hypertension.
Chymase-secreting mast cells mediate apoptosis of neighboring smooth muscle cells through a mechanism involving degradation of pericellular fibronectin and disruption of the p-focal adhesion kinase-dependent cell-survival signaling cascade.
Title: Mast cell chymase induces smooth muscle cell apoptosis by a mechanism involving fibronectin degradation and disruption of focal adhesions.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
