1. Background: The present study examined the effect of angiotensin II on the regulation of different angiogenesis associated genes in human breast cancer cells and attempted to determine whether administration of At1R blocker candesartan could suppress the angiotensin II dependent gene regulation. 2. Methods: Angiotensin II dependent expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinases 1 (TIMP-1), and hypoxia inducible transcription factor 2α (HIF-2α) as well as administration of angiotensin II and At1R blocker candesartan was analyzed in MDA-MB 468 human breast…
