Crystal structure of human endothelin ETB receptor in complex with peptide inverse agonist IRL2500

open access: yesCommunications Biology, 2018
Endothelin receptors (ETA and ETB) are G-protein-coupled receptors activated by endothelin-1 and are involved in blood pressure regulation. IRL2500 is a peptide-mimetic of the C-terminal tripeptide of endothelin-1, and has been characterized as a potent ...

Baseline characteristics and enrichment results from the SONAR trial [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Aim: The SONAR trial uses an enrichment design based on the individual response to the selective endothelin receptor antagonist atrasentan on efficacy (the degree of the individual response in the urinary albumin‐to‐creatinine ratio [UACR]) and safety/

Endothelin B receptor-mediated vasoconstriction induced by endothelin A receptor antagonist [PDF]

open access: yesCardiovascular Research, 1998
The vasoconstrictor effect of endothelins (ET) is mediated by endothelin A (ETA) and endothelin B (ETB) receptors. Furthermore, ETB receptor stimulation results in release of vasodilators. Hence, ETA receptor antagonists should attenuate ET-mediated vasoconstriction. The aim of the present study was to evaluate and compare the effects of BQ-123, an ETA

The Effect of Endothelin-1 on Gene Expression of Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide Phosphate (NADPH) Oxidase via Transforming Growth Factor Beta (TGF–β) Receptor in Human Aortic Smooth Muscle Cells

open access: yesمجله دانشکده پزشکی اصفهان, 2018
Background: Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase (Nox) is one of the predominant sources of the production of free oxygen radicals in the vascular wall.

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.

Contribution of Piezo2 to endothelium-dependent pain. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
BackgroundWe evaluated the role of a mechanically-gated ion channel, Piezo2, in mechanical stimulation-induced enhancement of hyperalgesia produced by the pronociceptive vasoactive mediator endothelin-1, an innocuous mechanical stimulus-induced ...

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.

Contribution of endothelin receptors and cyclooxygenase-derivatives to the altered response of the rabbit renal artery to endothelin-1 in diabetes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
The influence of diabetes on regulatory mechanisms and specific receptors implicated in the response of isolated rabbit renal artery to endothelin-1 was examined. Endothelin-1 induced a concentration-dependent contraction that was less potent in arteries
