Angiotensin II has been demonstrated, at least in animal models, to stimulate MCP-1 expression. We investigated the effect of the angiotensin II type 1 (AT1) receptor antagonists irbesartan and losartan on MCP-1 production by freshly isolated human monocytes. Irbesartan and losartan inhibited basal MCP-1 production in a dose-dependent manner. Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) stimulated MCP-1 in a concentration-dependent manner, with 200 microg/ml LDL protein giving a 2-fold increase in MCP-1. Irbesartan and losartan dose dependently blocked LDL-stimulated MCP-1. An angiotensin II type 2 receptor antagonist, S-(+)-1-([4-(dimethylamino)-3-methylphenyl]methyl)-5-(diphenylacetyl)-4,5,6,7- ... tetrahydro-1H-imidazo(4,5-c)pyridine-6-carboxylic acid (PD123319), had no significant effect on basal MCP-1 levels or LDL-stimulated MCP-1. After noting homology between the AT1 receptor and the platelet-activating factor (PAF) receptor, we showed that irbesartan inhibited both [3H]PAF binding to human monocytes and carbamyl-PAF stimulation of MCP-1. However, irbesartan affinity for the PAF receptor was 700 times less than PAF, suggesting that there may be another mechanism for irbesartan inhibition of PAF-stimulated MCP-1. This is the first report showing that AT1 receptor antagonists inhibit basal as well as LDL- and PAF-stimulated MCP-1 production in freshly isolated human monocytes. http://www.tkuhn.ch/bel2nanopub/RAHSsArZ_FpYObeqFTLnngXADcpWVi81c5muuFrvEn8PU#_3 http://www.w3.org/ns/prov#wasQuotedFrom http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12626661 http://www.tkuhn.ch/bel2nanopub/RAHSsArZ_FpYObeqFTLnngXADcpWVi81c5muuFrvEn8PU#_4 http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#label Selventa http://www.tkuhn.ch/bel2nanopub/RAHSsArZ_FpYObeqFTLnngXADcpWVi81c5muuFrvEn8PU#assertion http://www.w3.org/ns/prov#hadPrimarySource http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12626661 http://www.tkuhn.ch/bel2nanopub/RAHSsArZ_FpYObeqFTLnngXADcpWVi81c5muuFrvEn8PU#assertion http://www.w3.org/ns/prov#wasDerivedFrom http://resource.belframework.org/belframework/1.0/knowledge/large_corpus.bel http://www.tkuhn.ch/bel2nanopub/RAHSsArZ_FpYObeqFTLnngXADcpWVi81c5muuFrvEn8PU#assertion http://www.w3.org/ns/prov#wasDerivedFrom http://www.tkuhn.ch/bel2nanopub/RAHSsArZ_FpYObeqFTLnngXADcpWVi81c5muuFrvEn8PU#_3 http://www.tkuhn.ch/bel2nanopub/RAHSsArZ_FpYObeqFTLnngXADcpWVi81c5muuFrvEn8PU#pubinfo http://www.tkuhn.ch/bel2nanopub/RAHSsArZ_FpYObeqFTLnngXADcpWVi81c5muuFrvEn8PU http://purl.org/dc/terms/created 2014-07-03T14:30:10.759+02:00 http://www.tkuhn.ch/bel2nanopub/RAHSsArZ_FpYObeqFTLnngXADcpWVi81c5muuFrvEn8PU http://purl.org/pav/createdBy http://orcid.org/0000-0001-6818-334X http://www.tkuhn.ch/bel2nanopub/RAHSsArZ_FpYObeqFTLnngXADcpWVi81c5muuFrvEn8PU http://purl.org/pav/createdBy http://orcid.org/0000-0002-1267-0234
