## Abstract Bradykinin (BK) and angiotensin II (AngII) often have opposite roles in cardiovascular diseases. Our aim here was to construct hybrid receptors which bind AngII but signal as BK. Various sequences of the intracellular face of the AngII type I receptor, AT1R, were replaced with correspon

This study investigated the effects of epidermal growth factor (EGF) on the labeling of various RNA species and of nuclear proteins in primary rat astroglial cell cultures. After 12 hours of EGF treatment in serumfree medium or chemically defined medium, significant increase in RNA labeling, and als
SUMMARY: The effect of cromakalim on vascular reactivity was studied in rat isolated pulmonary arterial strips. Cromakalim ( \(0.1-1 \mu \mathrm{M})\) inhibited contractions induced by low \((20-30 \mathrm{mM}) \mathrm{KCl}\) concentrations in a concentrationdependent manner. It had no effect on tho
## Abstract Rat1 fibroblasts stably transfected with the rat angiotensin II (AngII) AT1a and bradykinin (BK) B2 receptor cDNAs gained the ability to bind Ang II and BK. Wildโtype Rat1 cells bound neither ligand. Exposure to either effector led to characteristic Gฮฑi and Gฮฑq signal cascades, the rele
Difluorodeoxycitidine (dFdCyd. gemcitabine) was tested for cytotoxicity in cultured human lung-cancer cells SW I573 in combination with I hr hyperthermia at 43'C. The results show that the timing is extremely important. Simultaneous application led to decreased cytotoxicity, whereas an interval of 2
