Cerebrospinal fluid from patients with subarachnoid haemorrhage and vasospasm enhances endothelin contraction in rat cerebral arteries.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
IntroductionPrevious studies have suggested that cerebrospinal fluid from patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) leads to pronounced vasoconstriction in isolated arteries.

Crystal structures of human ETB receptor provide mechanistic insight into receptor activation and partial activation

open access: yesNature Communications, 2018
Signalling through the endothelin receptor ETB, a class A GPCR, induces nitric oxide-mediated vasorelaxation. Here the authors present the crystal structures of the human ETB receptor bound to the peptide hormone endothelin-3 and in complex with the ETB ...

Endothelin type A receptors mediate pain in a mouse model of sickle cell disease

open access: yesHaematologica, 2018
Sickle cell disease is associated with acute painful episodes and chronic intractable pain. Endothelin-1, a known pain inducer, is elevated in the blood plasma of both sickle cell patients and mouse models of sickle cell disease.

The Role of Endothelin-1 and Endothelin Receptor Antagonists in Inflammatory Response and Sepsis

open access: yesArchivum Immunologiae et Therapiae Experimentalis, 2014
Endothelin-1 (ET-1) is a potent endogenous vasoconstrictor, mainly secreted by endothelial cells. It acts through two types of receptors: ETA and ETB.

Blockade of Endothelin-1 Receptor Type B Ameliorates Glucose Intolerance and Insulin Resistance in a Mouse Model of Obstructive Sleep Apnea

open access: yesFrontiers in Endocrinology, 2018
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with insulin resistance (IR) and glucose intolerance. Elevated endothelin-1 (ET-1) levels have been observed in OSA patients and in mice exposed to intermittent hypoxia (IH). We examined whether pharmacological

Endothelin receptor signaling: new insight into its regulatory mechanisms.

open access: yesJournal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2013
The endothelin (ET) system consists of two G protein coupled-receptors (GPCRs), ET type A receptor (ETAR) and ET type B receptor (ETBR), and three endogenous ligands, ET-1, ET-2, and ET-3.

Bioengineering a Patient‐Derived Vascularized Lung Tumor‐on‐Chip Model to Decipher Immunomodulation by the Endothelium

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Most in vitro cancer models lack cellular diversity, functional complexity, and clinical relevance. This work highlights the generation of an innovative dynamic tetraculture with autologous patient‐derived cells within a vascularized tumor‐on‐chip, as well as the recapitulation of endothelial anergy features induced by the tumor microenvironment ...

Endothelin receptor antagonism and cancer [PDF]

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Clinical Investigation, 2009
AbstractThe endothelin peptides have an important role in the cancer‐stromal interactions that promote tumour growth. Endothelin‐1 (ET‐1), clinically the most investigated endothelin, is a vital agent in the growth and progression of several tumours including prostate, ovarian, colorectal, bladder, breast and lung carcinomas.

Endothelin receptor antagonists for pulmonary arterial hypertension.

open access: yesCochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, 2013
BACKGROUND Pulmonary arterial hypertension is a devastating disease, which leads to right heart failure and premature death. Recent evidence suggests that endothelin receptor antagonists may be promising drugs in the treatment of pulmonary arterial ...
