In this study the influence of Bradykinin, a biogenic polypeptide, on the excretory function of the dog kidney was investigated, utilizing the clearance and stop-flow method. The results are summarized as follows; 1) Bradykinin administered intravenously elicited a marked antidiuresis. 2) When given into the renal artery, however, prompt increase of the urine flow, sodium excretion and free water clearance without significant change in the glomerular filtration rate ensued. 3) It was also effective during an osmotic diuresis with 10% Mannitol infusion, though the response was not so marked. 4) The stop-flow experiment showed that sodium reabsorption in the proximal tubules is inhibited by the infusion of bradykinin into the renal artery. It was thus concluded that the diuretic effect of bradykinin given intra-arterially results from the inhibition of sodium transport in the proximal tubules.

Inflammation is one of the main causes of pathologic pain. Knowledge of the molecular links between inflammatory signals and pain-mediating neuronal signals is essential for understanding the mechanisms behind pain exacerbation. Some inflammatory mediators directly modulate the excitability of pain-mediating neurons by contacting the receptor molecules expressed in those neurons. For decades, many discoveries have accumulated regarding intraneuronal signals from receptor activation through electrical depolarization for bradykinin, a major inflammatory mediator that is able to both excite and sensitize pain-mediating nociceptor neurons. Here, we focus on the final effectors of depolarization, the neuronal ion channels, whose functionalities are specifically affected by bradykinin stimulation. Particular G-protein coupled signaling cascades specialized for each specific depolarizer ion channels are summarized. Some of these ion channels not only serve as downstream effectors but also play critical roles in relaying specific pain modalities such as thermal or mechanical pain. Accordingly, specific pain phenotypes altered by bradykinin stimulation are also discussed. Some members of the effector ion channels are both activated and sensitized by bradykinin-induced neuronal signaling, while others only sensitized or inhibited, which are also introduced. The present overview of the effect of bradykinin on nociceptor neuronal excitability at the molecular level may contribute to better understanding of an important aspect of inflammatory pain and help future design of further research on the components involved and pain modulating strategies.

The present study was undertaken to demonstrate whether or not bradykinin activates a phospholipase D in rabbit kidney proximal tubule cells. By measuring the formation of [$^3$H]phosphatidic acid and [$^3$H]phosphatidylethanol we could elucidate the direct stimulation of phospholipase D by bradykinin. Bradykinin leads to a rapid increase in [$^3$H]phosphatidic acid and [$^3$H]diacylglycerol, and [$^3$H]phosphatidic acid formation preceded the formation of [$^3$H]diacylglycerol. This result suggests that some phosphatidic acid seems to be formed directly from phosphatidylcholine by the action of phospholipase D, not from diacylglycerol by the action of diacylglycerol kinase. In addition, the other mechanisms by which phospholipase D is activated was examined. We have found that phospholipase D was activated and regulated by extracellular calcium ion and pertussis toxin-insensitive G protein, respectively. It has also been shown that bradykinin may activate phospholipase D through protein kinase C-dependent pathway. In conclusion, we are now, for the first time, strongly suggesting that bradykinin-induced activation of phospholipase D in the rabbit kidney proximal tubule cells is mediated by a pertussis toxin-insensitive G protein and is dependent of protein kinase C.

Among the six antihistamine agents tested in this study, homochlorcyclizine showed the highest bradykinin antagonistic activity in the receptor binding assay as well as the isolated rat ileum assay. Schild plot analysis of bradykinin-induced ileal contraction in the presence of three different concentrations of homochlorcyclizine revealed a pA$_{2}$=6.26, and a correlation coefficient of 0.984. Homochlorcyclizine of (100 $\mu{M}$ final concentration) also showed 25% antagonistic activity in the receptor binding assay.

Bradykinin is an autocoid related to acute and chronic pain and inflammation. The non-peptide bradykinin antagonists are of interest as novel anti-inflammatory therapeutics and some active compounds such as FR 173657, LF 16-0687, and bradyzide were reported very recently. In our search for the new bradykinin antagonists, we designed to synthesize the analogues of FR173657 with two to three amide bonds and lipophilic ring system in each molecule. (omitted)

Bradykinin is an autocoid related to acute and chronic pain and inflammation. The non-peptide bradykinin antagonists are of interest as novel anti-inflammatory therapeutics. To understand the structural basis for the bradykinin antagonistic activity and to guide the design of more potent compounds we analysed the three dimensional pharmacophore model. Seven active compounds very recently reported such as FR 167344, FR 173657, LF 160687, and bradyzide were used as our pharmacophore model analysis. (omitted)

Some active compounds such as FR 173657, LF 160687, and bradyzide were reported very recently. In our search for the new bradykinin antagonists, we designed and synthesized the iminodiacetic acid derivatives having two or three amide bonds and lipophilic ring system in each molecule. Liquid phase combinatorial synthesis using the iminodiacetic acid template gave diverse individual compounds rapidly and efficiently on a 10-50 mg scale. (omitted)

Cytosolic $Ca^{2+}$ is an important regulator of tumor cell proliferation and metastasis. Recently, the strategy of blocking receptors and channels specific to certain cancer cell types has emerged as a potentially viable future treatment. Oral squamous cell carcinoma is an aggressive form of cancer with a high metastasis rate but the receptor-mechanisms involved in $Ca^{2+}$ signaling in these tumors have not yet been elucidated. In our present study, we report that bradykinin induces $Ca^{2+}$ signaling and its modulation in the human oral squamous carcinoma cell line, HSC-3. Bradykinin was found to increase the cytosolic $Ca^{2+}$ levels in a concentration-dependent manner. This increase was inhibited by pretreatment with the phospholipase C-${\beta}$ inhibitor, U73122, and also by 2-aminoethoxydiphenyl borate, an inhibitor of the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor. Pretreatment with extracellular ATP also inhibited the peak bradykinin-induced $Ca^{2+}$ rise. In contrast, the ATP-induced rise in cytosolic $Ca^{2+}$ was not affected by pretreatment with bradykinin. Pretreatment of the cells with either forskolin or phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (activators of adenylyl cyclase and protein kinase C, respectively) prior to bradykinin application accelerated the recovery of cytosolic $Ca^{2+}$ to baseline levels. These data suggest that bradykinin receptors are functional in $Ca^{2+}$ signaling in HSC-3 cells and may therefore represent a future target in treatment strategies for human oral squamous cell carcinoma.

Bradykinin receptor B2, a GPCR protein, binds with the inflammatory mediator hormone bradkynin. It plays an important role in cross-talk between the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) and the kinin-kallikrein system (KKS). Also, it is involved in many processes including vasodilation, edema, smooth muscle spasm and pain fiber stimulation. Hence, studuying the structural features of the receptor becomes important. But the unavailability of the three dimensional structure of the protein makes the analysis difficult. Hence we have performed the homology modelling of Bradykinin receptor B2 with 5 different templates. 25 different homology models were constructed. Two best models were selected based on the model validation. The developed models could be helpful in analysing the structural features of Bradykinin receptor B2 and in pathophysiology of various disorders related to them.
