Dual targeting of angiotensin receptors (AGTR1 and AGTR2) in epithelial ovarian carcinoma

This study investigated the expressions of AGTR1 and AGTR2 in epithelial ovarian carcinoma and the therapeutic potential of AGTR modulation with specific antagonist and/or agonist in epithelial ovarian cancer cells. Treatment of AGTR1 antagonist, losartan and/or AGTR2 agonist, CGP42112A synergistically mediated anti-cancer effects including the decrease of cell survival and down-regulation of VEGF.
