Mitochondrial Fission Inhibitors Suppress Endothelin-1-Induced Artery Constriction
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+

Endothelium-derived endothelin-1 [PDF]
One year after the revelation by Dr. Furchgott in 1980 that the endothelium was obligatory for acetylcholine to relax isolated arteries, it was clearly shown that the endothelium could also promote contraction. In 1988, Dr. Yanagisawa's group identified endothelin-1 (ET-1) as the first endothelium-derived contracting factor.

Role of endothelin-1 in periodontal diseases: A structured review
Background and Objective: Endothelin-1 (ET-1) is a 21-amino acid peptide and is a potent vasoconstrictor produced by endothelial cells. It plays a role in the development of diseases such as hypertension and atherosclerosis.

Expression of endothelin-1 and endothelin-1 receptor A in canine mammary tumours
Endothelins and their receptors have been implicated in numerous diseases and have recently emerged as relevant players in a variety of malignancies. Tumours overexpress the Endothelin-1 (ET-1) and the Endothelin-A receptors (ETAR) and their interaction enhances tumour growth and metastasis by promoting tumour cell survival, proliferation and ...

Endothelin‐1 and Endothelin Receptor Antagonists in Cardiovascular Remodeling
Endothelins build a peptide family composed of three isoforms, each of them containing 21 amino acids. Endothelin‐1 is the isoform mainly responsible for any cardiovascular action and therefore the sole scope of this review. Endothelin‐1 is the most potent endogenous vasoconstrictor known; in addition it acts as a potent (co)mitogen.

IMPORTANCE Despite pathophysiological links between endothelin-1 and pulmonary vascular remodeling, to our knowledge, the association between plasma endothelin-1 levels and pulmonary hypertension has not been studied in the general population.

Endothelin-1 in stable bronchiectasis [PDF]
Endothelin (ET)-1 has been suggested to promote neutrophil adhesion to endothelium, migration to inflamed areas, and release of elastase. ET-1 might therefore play a role in the pathogenesis of bronchiectasis, a chronic inflammatory and infective airway disease which is still poorly understood.

Expression of endothelin-1 in the lungs of patients with pulmonary hypertension.
BACKGROUND Pulmonary hypertension is characterized by an increase in vascular tone or an abnormal proliferation of muscle cells in the walls of small pulmonary arteries.
