Pathophysiological Roles of Endothelin Receptors in Cardiovascular Diseases

open access: yesJournal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2012
Endothelin (ET)-1 derived from endothelial cells has a much more important role in cardiovascular system regulation than the ET-2 and ET-3 isoforms. Numerous lines of evidence indicate that ET-1 possesses a number of biological activities leading to ...

Endothelin: 30 Years From Discovery to Therapy.

open access: yesHYPERTENSION, 2019
Discovered in 1987 as a potent endothelial cell-derived vasoconstrictor peptide, endothelin-1 (ET-1), the predominant member of the endothelin peptide family, is now recognized as a multifunctional peptide with cytokine-like activity contributing to ...

Cardiac remodelling in the era of the recommended four pillars heart failure medical therapy

open access: yesESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1029-1044, April 2025.
Abstract Cardiac remodelling is a key determinant of worse cardiovascular outcome in patients with heart failure (HF) and reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). It affects both the left ventricle (LV) structure and function as well as the left atrium (LA) and the right ventricle (RV).

Microvascular alterations in hypertension and vascular aging [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Hypertension and aging are characterized by vascular remodelling and stiffness as well as endothelial dysfunction. Endothelial function declines with age, since aging is associated with senescence of the endothelium due to increased rate of apoptosis and

The effects of sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors on the ‘forgotten’ right ventricle

open access: yesESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1045-1058, April 2025.
Abstract With the progress in diagnosis, treatment and imaging techniques, there is a growing recognition that impaired right ventricular (RV) function profoundly affects the prognosis of patients with heart failure (HF), irrespective of their left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF).

Endothelin Receptor Antagonism [PDF]

open access: yesHypertension, 2008
The endothelins are a family (ET-1, ET-2, and ET-3) of naturally occurring polypeptides, with ET-1 being the most clinically pertinent isoform. ET-1 was formally identified in 1988, at which time it was viewed mainly as a potent vasoconstrictor; however, the biological understanding of endothelin has since rapidly evolved, and it is now appreciated ...

Ca2+ signal is involved in endothelin-1-induced internalization of endothelin type A receptor expressed in Chinese hamster ovary cells

open access: yesJournal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2019
Endothelin type A receptor (ETAR) is internalized upon agonist stimulation; however, the mechanism thereof remains controversial. In this study, we characterized the endothelin-1 (ET-1)-induced internalization of ETAR expressed in Chinese hamster ovary ...

Endothelin-1 Drives Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition In Hypertensive Nephroangiosclerosis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
BACKGROUND: Tubulointerstitial fibrosis, the final outcome of most kidney diseases, involves activation of epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT). Endothelin‐1 (ET‐1) activates EMT in cancer cells, but it is not known whether it drives EMT in the kidney.

SPARCL1 and NT‐proBNP as biomarkers of right ventricular‐to‐pulmonary artery uncoupling in pulmonary hypertension

open access: yesESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1416-1426, April 2025.
Abstract Aims SPARCL1 was recently identified as a biomarker of right ventricular (RV) maladaptation in patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH), and N‐terminal pro‐brain natriuretic protein (NT‐proBNP) is an established biomarker of RV failure in PH. The present study investigated whether NT‐proBNP and SPARCL1 concentrations are associated with load ...

CLINICAL CASE OF COMBINATION THERAPY INCLUDING AMBRIZENTAN IN THE PATIENT WITH SEVERE IDIOPATHIC PULMONARY ARTERIAL HYPERTENSION

open access: yesЕвразийский Кардиологический Журнал, 2017
Idiopathic pulmonary hypertension (IPAH) is a rare cardiovascular disease of unknown etiology, but the most common form of pulmonary arterial hypertension, defined as mean pulmonary arterial pressure >25 mmHg and pulmonary vascular resistance >3 ...
