| Abstract | Our recent study indicated that angiotensin II (Ang II), the main component of renin-angiotensin system, participated in the pathogenesis of Parkinson’s disease (PD) by triggering the apoptosis of dopaminergic neuronal cells. However, the underlying mechanisms are still not fully understood. In this study, by using CATH.a cells, a dopaminergic neuronal cell line stably expressing angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT1R) and angiotensin II type 2 receptor (AT2R), we tested the hypothesis that activation of autophagy contributed to the apoptosis triggered by Ang II. We showed that Ang II activated autophagy and triggered apoptosis in CATH.a cells in a dose-dependent manner. More importantly, inhibition of autophagy by 3-methyladenine markedly attenuated the apoptosis caused by Ang II in CATH.a cells. In addition, the Ang II-induced autophagy and subsequent cell apoptosis could be fully abolished by an AT1R antagonist losartan rather than PD1223319, an antagonist for AT2R. Taken together, our study provides the first evidence that Ang II triggers apoptosis via activation of autophagy in a dopaminergic neuronal cell line through an AT1R-mediated manner. These findings have deepened our understanding on the role of Ang II in the pathogenesis of PD and support the use of AT1R antagonists for the treatment of this devastating neurodegenerative disease. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
