The role of endothelin-1 in pulmonary arterial hypertension. [PDF]
, 2014 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,

Cellular and molecular mediators of bone metastatic lesions [PDF]
, 2018 Bone is the preferential site of metastasis for breast and prostate tumor. Cancer cells establish a tight relationship with the host tissue, secreting factors that stimulate or inhibit bone cells, receiving signals generated from the bone remodeling ...

Endothelin in health and disease
Biomolecules & Biomedicine, 2004 Endothelin is a recently discovered peptide composed of 21 amino acids. There are three endothelin isomers: endothelin -1 (ET-1), endothelin -2 (ET-2) and endothelin - 3 (ET-3).

Attenuation of ischemic liver injury by monoclonal anti-endothelin antibody, awETN40 [PDF]
, 1997 Background: Enhanced production of endothelin-1 (ET1), vasoconstrictive 21 amino acids produced by endothelial cells during ischemia and after reperfusion of the liver, is known to cause sinusoidal constriction and microcirculatory disturbances, which ...

Endothelin and menstruation [PDF]
Human Reproduction, 1996 Endothelin (ET) and its mRNA are present in human endometrium. Its expression varies across the menstrual cycle, reaching maximal levels in the pre-menstrual phase. Human endometrial epithelial cells are the major in-vitro source of ET, and its release is affected by the stage of the menstrual cycle from which the endometrium is taken and by the ...

Truncated human endothelin receptor A produced by alternative splicing and its expression in melanoma [PDF]
, 1998 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.

Life Sciences, 2012 Following the initial description of endothelium-dependent vasoconstriction in the early 1980s, it has been exactly 25 years since efforts to identify the sequence of the endothelin gene and peptide began in May 1987, work which resulted in a landmark paper submitted to Nature in December 1987 and published on March 31, 1988.
