Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme 2 Inhibits Apoptosis of Pulmonary Endothelial Cells During Acute Lung Injury Through Suppressing MiR-4262
Background/Aims: Angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) treatment suppresses the severity of acute lung injury (ALI). The effects of ACE2 in ALI have been shown to not only result from its antagonizing hydrolyzing angiotensin II (AngII), which is responsible for reduction in the vascular tension and...
