Investigation of the Molecular Mechanisms by Which Endothelin-3 Stimulates Preadipocyte Growth

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2021
Endothelins induce many biological responses, and they are composed of three peptides: ET-1, ET-2, and ET-3. Reports have indicated that ET-1 regulates cell proliferation, adipogenesis, and other cell responses and that ET-3 stimulates the growth of ...

Astrocytic ET‐1 System Determines Microglia Phenotype Following Spinal Cord Injury

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The study reveals that astrocytic ET‐1 system is solely activated by thrombin following SCI via RhoA/NF‐κB and MAPKs/NF‐κB signal pathway. The release of astrocytic ET‐1 drives microglia polarization toward M1 phenotype through YAP signaling via ETA and ETB receptors.

Endothelins and hypoxia-inducible factor in cancer.

Endocrine-Related Cancer, 2007
The endothelin system is a family of three similar small peptides, two G-protein-coupled receptors and two proteinases. Endothelins have several physiological roles, notably in embryonic differentiation and vascular homeostasis.

Comprehensive genetic analysis of poorly differentiated gastric cancer in young females

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
Although the involvement of female sex hormones in the development of poorly differentiated gastric cancer in young females is controversial, our detailed analysis using RNA‐seq suggested that the female sex hormone, β‐estradiol plays a role in the development of poorly differentiated gastric cancer in young females. Abstract Aim The reasons behind the

Endothelin receptors promote schistosomiasis-induced hepatic fibrosis via splenic B cells.

PLoS Pathogens, 2020
Endothelin receptors (ETRs) are activated by vasoactive peptide endothelins and involved in the pathogenesis of hepatic fibrosis. However, less is known about the role of ETRs in Schistosoma (S.) japonicum-induced hepatic fibrosis. Here, we show that the

Activin A‐activated ALK4 induces pathogenic Th17 involved endothelial–mesenchymal transition in systemic lupus erythematosus‐associated pulmonary arterial hypertension

Arthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.
Objective Autoimmune diseases, such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), are associated with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), a condition that can lead to heart failure. However, whether T cells also contribute to the occurrence of PAH in SLE, has not been clarified.

Simvastatin overcomes the pPCK1‐pLDHA‐SPRINGlac axis‐mediated ferroptosis and chemo‐immunotherapy resistance in AKT‐hyperactivated intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma

Cancer Communications, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) is a challenging cancer with an increasing incidence. The Phase III TOPAZ‐1/KEYNOTE‐966 study demonstrated chemo‐immunotherapy (CIT) as a significant advancement, potentially replacing traditional chemotherapy for advanced biliary tract cancer.
