(D-Pro⁷)-Angiotensin I/II (1-7) is a peptide antagonist of the Mas receptor, engineered by replacing the C-terminal Pro⁷ of Angiotensin-(1-7) with a D-proline[1]. The Mas receptor, a G-protein-coupled receptor for Ang-(1-7), elicits vasodilatory, anti-proliferative and anti-fibrotic protective signals upon activation[2]. (D-Pro⁷)-Angiotensin I/II (1-7) competitively blocks the binding of Angiotensin-(1-7) to Mas and is widely used to selectively interrupt ACE2/Ang-(1-7)/Mas-axis signaling in research[3].
In vitro, pretreatment of human pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells (PMVEC) with 100nM (D-Pro⁷)-Angiotensin I/II (1-7)(30min) completely abolished the protective effect of Ang-(1-7) against thrombin induced barrier disruption, reducing the trans-endothelial electrical resistance (TEER)[4]. In rat aortic vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) cultured in high glucose (25mM), 72h co-incubation with 1μM (D-Pro⁷)-Angiotensin I/II (1-7) reversed the inhibitory effect of Ang-(1-7) on high glucose-induced ErbB2 phosphorylation, restoring the p-ErbB2/t-ErbB2 ratio[5].
In vivo, (D-Pro⁷)-Angiotensin I/II (1-7) (10μM; 20min pre-incubation in isolated organ bath) reduced the maximal vasorelaxation evoked by Ang-(1-7) in rat renal arteries, completely blocking Ang-(1-7)-induced vasodilation and abolishing Ang-(1-7)-mediated activation of the NO-sGC-cGMP pathway[6]. (D-Pro⁷)-Angiotensin I/II (1-7) (0.1μM; 20min pre-incubation; vascular-bath perfusion) blocks an A-779-insensitive novel Ang-(1–7) receptor subtype and completely reverses the endothelium-dependent relaxation induced by Ang-(1–7) in isolated thoracic aortic rings from Sprague–Dawley rats[7].

Protocol
| Cell experiment [1]: | |
Cell lines | Human pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells |
Preparation Method | Human pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells (PMVECs, passages 4–8) were grown to confluence in polycarbonate wells containing gelatin-coated gold microelectrodes. Following a 30 minute recording of baseline resistance, the Ang-(1–7) receptor blocker (D-Pro⁷)-Angiotensin I/II (1-7)(100nM), the bradykinin receptor blocker icatibant (1µM), the NO synthase inhibitor Nω-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (l-NAME; 1mM), or respective vehicle controls were added, followed after 15 minutes by Ang-(1–7) (100nM) or vehicle and after an additional 30 minutes by thrombin (0.2U/mL). Transendothelial electrical resistance (TEER) measurements were performed using an electrical cell substrate impedance sensing system. TEER values were recorded continuously up to 75 minutes after thrombin stimulation. |
Reaction Conditions | 100nM; 30min |
Applications | Pretreatment of human pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells (PMVEC) with (D-Pro⁷)-Angiotensin I/II (1-7) completely abolished the protective effect of Ang-(1-7) against thrombin induced barrier disruption, reducing the trans-endothelial electrical resistance (TEER). |
| Animal experiment [2]: | |
Animal models | Sprague–Dawley rats |
Preparation Method | 7–9-month-old male Hanover Sprague–Dawley rats were maintained in collective cages in an appropriate room with controlled temperature and with a 12h light cycle. The vasorelaxant activity of Ang-(1–7) was measured in vessels with or without functional endothelium pre-contracted to the same tension level (approximately 1.5g of tension) with submaximal concentrations of phenylephrine (0.03–0.1μM). Ang-(1–7) was added in increasing cumulative concentrations once the response to phenylephrine had stabilized. In an attempt to determine which receptor is involved in the vasorelaxant effect of Ang-(1–7), experiments were performed in endothelium-containing vessels, in the presence of the Ang-(1–7) antagonists A-779 (0.1, 1.0 or 10μM) or (D-Pro⁷)-Angiotensin I/II (1-7) (0.1μM); the B2 receptor antagonist HOE 140 (1μM), the Ang II receptor antagonists CV11974 (0.01μM; AT1 antagonist) or PD123319 (1μM; AT2 antagonist). As a control, another vessel segment from each rat was simultaneously monitored for Ang-(1–7) effects alone. |
Dosage form | 0.1μM; 20min pre-incubation, vascular-bath perfusion |
Applications | (D-Pro⁷)-Angiotensin I/II (1-7) blocks an A-779-insensitive novel Ang-(1–7) receptor subtype and completely reverses the endothelium-dependent relaxation induced by Ang-(1–7) in isolated thoracic aortic rings from Sprague–Dawley rats. |
