Endothelin and the Cardiovascular System: The Long Journey and Where We Are Going
Biology, 2022 Endothelin was first discovered more than 30 years ago as a potent vasoconstrictor. In subsequent years, three isoforms, two canonical receptors, and two converting enzymes were identified, and their basic functions were elucidated by numerous ...

Stretching Promotes Wound Contraction Through Enhanced Expression of Endothelin Receptor B and TRPC3 in Fibroblasts. [PDF]
Plast Reconstr Surg Glob Open, 2023 Background:. One factor that can contribute to the development of hypertrophic scar contracture is mechanical stress. Mechanical cyclic stretch stimuli enhance the secretion of endothelin-1 (ET-1) from keratinocyte.

Genetic interactions between neurofibromin and endothelin receptor B in mice. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 When mutations in two different genes produce the same mutant phenotype, it suggests that the encoded proteins either interact with each other, or act in parallel to fulfill a similar purpose.

Endothelin Receptors and Pain [PDF]
The Journal of Pain, 2009 The endogenous endothelin (ET) peptides participate in a remarkable variety of pain-relatedprocesses. Pain that is elevated by inflammation, by skin incision, by cancer, during a Sickle Cell Disease crisis and by treatments that mimic neuropathic and inflammatory pain and are all reduced by local administration of antagonists of endothelin receptors ...

Endothelin‐receptor interactions [PDF]
FEBS Letters, 1993 The mechanism of action of endothelin‐receptor interactions was studied, using radioligand binding assays and SDS‐PAGE, to investigate the possibility of disulfide interchange. Electrophoretic analysis suggested involvement of disulfide bond(s) in the receptor‐ligand complex.

Endothelin Receptor Antagonists: Status Quo and Future Perspectives for Targeted Therapy
Journal of Clinical Medicine, 2020 The endothelin axis, recognized for its vasoconstrictive action, plays a central role in the pathology of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Treatment with approved endothelin receptor antagonists (ERAs), such as bosentan, ambrisentan, or macitentan,

Endothelin B Receptors on Primary Chicken Müller Cells and the Human MIO-M1 Müller Cell Line Activate ERK Signaling via Transactivation of Epidermal Growth Factor Receptors. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Injury to the eye or retina triggers Müller cells, the major glia cell of the retina, to dedifferentiate and proliferate. In some species they attain retinal progenitor properties and have the capacity to generate new neurons. The epidermal growth factor

Evidence for G‐Protein–Coupled Estrogen Receptor as a Pronatriuretic Factor
Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2020 Background The novel estrogen receptor, G‐protein–coupled estrogen receptor (GPER), is responsible for rapid estrogen signaling. GPER activation elicits cardiovascular and nephroprotective effects against salt‐induced complications, yet there is no ...

Affinity labelling of endothelin receptor and characterization of solubilized endothelin–endothelin‐receptor complex [PDF]
European Journal of Biochemistry, 1990 Chick cardiac membranes were affinity labelled by cross‐linking to membrane‐bound 125I‐endothelin‐1 with disuccinimidyl tartarate. SDS/PAGE and autoradiographic analysis of the 125I‐endothelin‐1‐labelled material in the presence or absence of 2‐mercaptoethanol revealed one major labelled band, corresponding to a molecular mass of 53 kDa, whose ...

Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion enhances transcriptional expression of endothelin-1 and vasoconstrictor ETB receptors via the protein kinase MEK-ERK1/2 signaling pathway in rat. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 BACKGROUND:Coronary artery remodelling and vasospasm is a complication of acute myocardial ischemia and reperfusion. The underlying mechanisms are complex, but the vasoconstrictor peptide endothelin-1 is suggested to have an important role.
