Binding of prorenin to (pro)renin receptor induces the proliferation of human umbilical artery smooth muscle cells via ROS generation and ERK1/2 activation

Introduction: Since the discovery of the (pro)renin receptor (PRR), it has been considered as a novel bioactive molecule of the renin–angiotensin system (RAS). The activation of PRR can elicit a series of angiotensin II (AngII)-independent effects. Materials and methods: In this study, we investigat...
