Upregulation of circulating components of the alternative renin-angiotensin system in inflammatory bowel disease : A pilot study

© The Author(s) 2014..

INTRODUCTION: The relationship between intestinal inflammation and circulating components of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) is poorly understood.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: Demographic and clinical data were obtained from healthy controls and patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Plasma concentrations of the classical RAS components (angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) and angiotensin II (Ang II)) and alternative RAS components (ACE2 and angiotensin (1-7) (Ang (1-7))) were analysed by radioimmuno- and enzymatic assays. Systemic inflammation was assessed using serum C-reactive protein (CRP), white cell count, platelet count and albumin, and intestinal inflammation by faecal calprotectin.

RESULTS: Nineteen healthy controls (11 female; mean age 38 years, range 23-68), 19 patients with Crohn's disease (11 female; aged 45 years, range 23-76) and 15 patients with ulcerative colitis (6 female; aged 42 years, 26-64) were studied. Circulating classical RAS component levels were similar across the three groups, whereas ACE2 activity and Ang (1-7) concentrations were higher in patients with IBD compared to controls (ACE2: 21.5 vs 13.3 pmol/ml/min, p<0.05; Ang (1-7): 22.8 vs 14.1 pg/ml, p<0.001). Ang (1-7) correlated weakly with platelet and white cell counts, but not calprotectin or CRP, in patients with IBD.

CONCLUSIONS: Circulating components of the alternative RAS are increased in patients with IBD.
