14‐3‐3 proteins: Regulators of cardiac excitation–contraction coupling and stress responses

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend 14‐3‐3 protein interactions in cardiac regulation. Schematic representation of 14‐3‐3 binding partners in excitation–contraction coupling, transcriptional regulation/development and stress response pathways. Asterisks indicate targets where the exact 14‐3‐3 binding site is unknown.

Endothelin A-receptor blockade in experimental diabetes improves glucose balance and gastrointestinal function

, 2002
Secondary complications of diabetes mellitus often involve gastrointestinal dysfunction. In the experimental Goto Kakizaki rat, a model of Type II diabetes, hyperglycaemia and reduced glucose clearance is associated with elevated plasma endothelin (ET)-1

Computational modelling of cardiac fibroblast signalling reveals a key role for Ca2+ in driving atrial fibrillation‐associated fibrosis

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend A pre‐existing fibroblast signalling model was enhanced by integrating atrial‐specific components and reactions linked to atrial fibrosis and atrial fibrillation (AF). The analysis highlights the central role of Ca2⁺ signalling in driving profibrotic responses to AF‐relevant stimuli, angiotensin‐II and transforming growth factor ...

Endothelin Receptor Heterodimerization Inhibits β-arrestin Function

, 2016
Dimerization of G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) can affect receptor dynamics at many stages of the GPCR life cycle. Endothelin receptors A (ETA) and B (ETB) are co-expressed in vascular smooth muscle cells, and are key to microvascular autoregulation

Sparsentan, a Dual Endothelin Type A and Angiotensin II Subtype 1 Receptor Antagonist for the Treatment of Immunoglobulin A Nephropathy: Latest Trial Results, Pharmacokinetic Considerations, and Binding Profile

Immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) is one of the most common forms of primary glomerulonephritis. In some patients, it can progress rapidly, leading to proteinuria, kidney failure, and death.

Born early, age fast: Consequences of premature birth on chronic disease and accelerated ageing

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend ELGANs are exposed to several postnatal pro‐oxidant stressors, including ambient and supplemental oxygen, mechanical ventilation, infections, hyperalimentation, excessive glucocorticoids and intermittent hypoxia. Since endogenous antioxidant defences are underdeveloped, this imbalance promotes oxidative stress and inflammation ...

The endothelin system in pulmonary and renal vasculopathy: les liaisons dangereuses

European Respiratory Review, 2009
Endothelial cells regulate vascular tone largely by the actions of endothelin-1. Endothelin-1 is a potent vasoconstrictor, with effects that are dependent on the receptors to which it binds as well as their location.

Maternal nutrition as a key determinant of placental and developing blood–brain barrier xenobiotic protective functions

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Suboptimal maternal nutrition alters placental and developing blood–brain barrier (BBB) protective function and is associated with increased fetal brain vulnerability. In the placenta, nutritional adversity may reduce the exchange surface area and promote meta‐inflammation, compromising barrier efficiency in a model‐ and context ...
