Bioactivity | Bradykinin is an active peptide that is generated by the kallikrein-kinin system. It is a inflammatory mediator and also recognized as a neuromediator and regulator of several vascular and renal functions. | ||||||
Invitro | 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 promotes the invasion and migration of colorectal cancer cells. Bradykinin treatment stimulates ERK1/2 activation and IL-6 production[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]. | ||||||
