Mitochondrial Fission Inhibitors Suppress Endothelin-1-Induced Artery Constriction

open access: yesCellular 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+

Endothelium-derived endothelin-1 [PDF]

open access: yesPflügers Archiv - European Journal of Physiology, 2009
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

open access: yesIndian Journal of Dental Research, 2016
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

open access: yesResearch in Veterinary Science, 2015
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

open access: yesProceedings of the Society for Experimental Biology and Medicine, 1999
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.

MiR-21, MiR-29a, GATA4, and MEF2c Expression Changes in Endothelin-1 and Angiotensin II Cardiac Hypertrophy Stimulated Isl-1+Sca-1+c-kit+ Porcine Cardiac Progenitor Cells In Vitro

open access: yesCells, 2019
Cost- and time-intensive porcine translational disease models offer great opportunities to test drugs and therapies for pathological cardiac hypertrophy and can be supported by porcine cell culture models that provide further insights into basic disease ...

Association of Elevated Plasma Endothelin-1 Levels With Pulmonary Hypertension, Mortality, and Heart Failure in African American Individuals: The Jackson Heart Study.

open access: yesJAMA cardiology, 2016
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]

open access: yesEuropean Respiratory Journal, 2000
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.

open access: yesNew England Journal of Medicine, 1993
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.
