<b><i>Background:</i></b> Preclinical studies suggested that pharmacological inhibition of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) by ACE inhibitors (ACEis) or angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) may increase local angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (<i>ACE2</i>) expression. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> In this study, we evaluated the effect of ACEi or ARB treatment on expression of <i>ACE2</i>, <i>ACE</i>, and <i>AGTR1</i> in 3-month protocol kidney allograft biopsies of stable patients using RT-qPCR (<i>n</i> = 48). Protein ACE2 expression was assessed using immunohistochemistry from paraffin sections. <b><i>Results:</i></b> The therapy with RAAS blockers was not associated with increased <i>ACE2, ACE</i>, or <i>ATGR1</i> expression in kidney allografts and also ACE2 protein immunohistochemistry did not reveal differences among groups. <b><i>Conclusions:</i></b> ACEis or ARBs in kidney transplant recipients do not affect local ACE2 expression. This observation supports long-term RAAS treatment in kidney transplant recipients, despite acute complications such as COVID-19 where ACE2 serves as the entry protein for infection.
