Truncated human endothelin receptor A produced by alternative splicing and its expression in melanoma [PDF]

, 1998
In this study, reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction was used to amplify human endothelin receptor A (ETA) and ETB receptor mRNA. A truncated ETA receptor transcript with exons 3 and 4 skipped was found.

An emerging role for microRNA in the regulation of endothelin-1

Frontiers in Physiology, 2013
Endothelin-1 (ET-1) is a peptide signaling molecule serving diverse functions in many different tissues such as the vasculature and the kidney. The primary mechanism thought to control ET-1 bioavailability is the rate of transcription from the ET-1 gene (

Therapeutic efficacy of TBC3711 in monocrotaline-induced pulmonary hypertension [PDF]

, 2011
Background: Endothelin-1 signalling plays an important role in pathogenesis of pulmonary hypertension. Although different endothelin-A receptor antagonists are developed, a novel therapeutic option to cure the disease is still needed.

Endothelin ETA- and ETB-Receptor-Mediated Inhibition of Noradrenaline Release From Isolated Rat Stomach

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2003
We examined the effect of endothelin-1, endothelin-3 and sarafotoxin S6c on the release of noradrenaline from gastric sympathetic nerve terminals using an isolated, vascularly perfused rat stomach.

High endothelin-converting enzyme-1 expression independently predicts poor survival of patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma

Tumor Biology, 2017
Patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma have poor survival and high recurrence rate, thus an effective prognostic biomarker is needed. Endothelin-converting enzyme-1 is responsible for biosynthesis of endothelin-1, which promotes growth and ...

Mitochondrial Fission Inhibitors Suppress Endothelin-1-Induced Artery Constriction

Cellular Physiology and Biochemistry, 2017
Background/Aims: Endothelin-1 is implicated in the pathogenesis of hypertension, but the underlying mechanisms remained elusive. Our previous study found that inhibition of mitochondrial fission of smooth muscle cells suppressed phenylephrine- and high K+

Portopulmonary hypertension practice patterns after liver transplantation

Liver Transplantation, EarlyView., 2022
Abstract Portopulmonary hypertension (POPH) is a type of pulmonary arterial hypertension occurring exclusively in those with portal hypertensive liver disease. Liver transplantation (LT) can significantly improve outcomes. Current guidelines counsel against immediate adjustments to targeted therapy after LT and suggest routine echocardiography as ...

Responses to neither exogenous nor endogenous endothelin-1 are altered in patients with hypercholesterolemia

Journal of Lipid Research, 2005
There is some controversy regarding whether vascular responses to endothelin are altered in hypercholesterolemia. Studies performed to date have been compromised by the use of endothelin antagonists at inappropriate concentrations.

Endothelin-1 in Health and Disease

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2023
Discovered almost 40 years ago, the potent vasoconstrictor peptide endothelin-1 (ET-1) has a wide range of roles both physiologically and pathologically. In recent years, there has been a focus on the contribution of ET-1 to disease. This has led to the development of various ET receptor antagonists, some of which are approved for the treatment of ...

Expression of endothelin-1 in unaffected colon mucosa 10 cm and 20 cm from colorectal carcinoma [PDF]

Medicinski Podmladak
Introduction: Endothelin-1 is a vasoconstrictor peptide primarily synthesized by endothelial and smooth muscle cells. Increased expression of this peptide has been observed in inflammation, hypoxia, ischemia, various cardiovascular diseases and various ...
