| Name | Bradykinin |
| Description | Bradykinin is an inflammatory mediator. It is a peptide that causes blood vessels to dilate (enlarge) via the release of prostacyclin, nitric oxide, and Endothelium-Derived Hyperpolarizing Factor. Bradykinin is a physiologically and pharmacologically active peptide of the kinin group of proteins, consisting of nine amino acids. |
| In vitro | Bradykinin is a potent vasodilator peptide that exerts its vasodilatory action through stimulation of specific endothelial B2 receptors, thereby causing the release of prostacyclin, NO, and EDHF[1]. Bradykinin has been reported to be involved in the progression of many types of cancer. Bradykinin treatment stimulates ERK1/2 activation and IL-6 production thereby contributing to the invasion and migration of colorectal cancer cells. [2]. Exogenous bradykinin markedly inhibits TF expression in mRNA and protein level induced by LPS in a dose-dependent manner. The NO synthase antagonist L-NAME and PI3K inhibitor LY294002 dramatically abolish the inhibitory effects of bradykinin on tissue factor expression[3]. |
| In vivo | Application of 1 μM bradykinin to the ovary produces significant decreases in heart rate and mean arterial pressure. Application of 1 μM bradykinin to the ovary produces bradycardia and hypotension similar to the responses evoked when vagal innervation is intact in vagotomized animals[4]. Vascular bradykinin can improve pancreatic microcirculation and hemorheology in rats with severe acute pancreatitis. The pancreatic microcirculatory blood flow volume and velocity in the vascular bradykinin treatment group increases gradually after 48 h[5]. PI3K/Akt signaling pathway activation induced by bradykinin administration reduces the activity of GSK-3β and MAPK, and reduces NF-x03BA;B level in the nucleus, thereby inhibiting TF expression. Consistent with this, intraperitoneal injection of C57/BL6 mice with bradykinin also inhibits the thrombus formation induced by ligation of inferior vena cava[3]. |
