Evidence for G‐Protein–Coupled Estrogen Receptor as a Pronatriuretic Factor
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 ...

Role of endothelin receptor type B (EDNRB) in lung adenocarcinoma
The five‐year survival rate of lung adenocarcinoma patients (LUAD) is very low,and the methods of predicting survival are a great obstacle for LUAD therapies. Endothelin receptor type B (EDNRB) gene is associated with tumorigenesis.

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]
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.

EndothelinA-endothelinB receptor cross-talk and endothelin receptor binding [PDF]
AbstractBackground and objectiveThe magnitude of inhibition of an endothelin (ET)-1 response by selective blockade of the ETA or ETB receptors can be limited by apparent compensation mediated by the unblocked receptor. While the mechanism underlying this functionally defined interaction, or ‘cross-talk’, is not clear, binding studies suggest an ...

Background Up-regulation of vascular endothelin type B (ETB) receptors is implicated in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease. Culture of intact arteries has been shown to induce similar receptor alterations and has therefore been suggested as a ...

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

Different role of endothelin ETA and ETB receptors and endothelial modulators in diabetes-induced hyperreactivity of the rabbit carotid artery to endothelin-1 [PDF]
The influence of diabetes on regulatory mechanisms and specific receptors implicated in the contractile response of isolated rabbit carotid arteries to endothelin-1 was examined. Endothelin-1 induced a concentration-dependent contraction that was greater

The role of endothelin-1 in pulmonary arterial hypertension. [PDF]
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a rare but debilitating disease, which if left untreated rapidly progresses to right ventricular failure and eventually death. In the quest to understand the pathogenesis of this disease differences in the profile,

The endothelin system is implicated in various human and animal glaucomas. Targeting the endothelin system has great promise as a treatment for human glaucoma, but the cell types involved and the exact mechanisms of action are not clearly elucidated ...
