In this review, we briefly discuss (1) the regulation of renal afferent arterioles in Ang II-dependent hypertension, (2) the interaction of AT1R and P2XR activation in regulating renal afferent arterioles in a setting of hypertension, (3) mechanisms regulating ATP release and effect of angiotensin II on ATP release, and (4) the possible intracellular pathways involved in AT1R and P2XR interactions. Here, AGT is linked to hypertensive disorder.
