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.

Endothelin Receptors and Their Antagonists

Seminars in Nephrology, 2015
All three members of the endothelin (ET) family of peptides, ET-1, ET-2, and ET-3, are expressed in the human kidney, with ET-1 being the predominant isoform. ET-1 and ET-2 bind to two G-protein-coupled receptors, ETA and ETB, whereas at physiological concentrations ET-3 has little affinity for the ET(A) receptor.

Evidence for G‐Protein–Coupled Estrogen Receptor as a Pronatriuretic Factor

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2020
Background The novel estrogen receptor, G‐protein–coupled estrogen receptor (GPER), is responsible for rapid estrogen signaling. GPER activation elicits cardiovascular and nephroprotective effects against salt‐induced complications, yet there is no ...

Different role of endothelin ETA and ETB receptors and endothelial modulators in diabetes-induced hyperreactivity of the rabbit carotid artery to endothelin-1 [PDF]

, 2004
The influence of diabetes on regulatory mechanisms and specific receptors implicated in the contractile response of isolated rabbit carotid arteries to endothelin-1 was examined. Endothelin-1 induced a concentration-dependent contraction that was greater

Mechanisms underlying diabetes enhancement of endothelin-1-induced contraction in rabbit basilar artery [PDF]

, 2004
The influence of alloxan-induced diabetes on the reactivity of rabbit basilar artery to endothelin-1 was examined. Endothelin-1 induced concentration-dependent contraction of basilar arteries that was higher in diabetic than in control rabbits ...

Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion enhances transcriptional expression of endothelin-1 and vasoconstrictor ETB receptors via the protein kinase MEK-ERK1/2 signaling pathway in rat. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
BACKGROUND:Coronary artery remodelling and vasospasm is a complication of acute myocardial ischemia and reperfusion. The underlying mechanisms are complex, but the vasoconstrictor peptide endothelin-1 is suggested to have an important role.

Clinical trials with endothelin receptor antagonists: What went wrong and where can we improve? [PDF]

, 2012
In the early 1990s, within three years of cloning of endothelin receptors, orally active endothelin receptor antagonists (ERAs) were tested in humans and the first clinical trial of ERA therapy in humans was published in 1995.

Up-regulation of endothelin type B receptors in the human internal mammary artery in culture is dependent on protein kinase C and mitogen-activated kinase signaling pathways

BMC Cardiovascular Disorders, 2008
Background Up-regulation of vascular endothelin type B (ETB) receptors is implicated in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease. Culture of intact arteries has been shown to induce similar receptor alterations and has therefore been suggested as a ...

Plasmatic Biochemical Variables Associated with Polymorphisms in the Endothelin-1 and Endothelin-1 Receptor a Genes in Hypertensive Patients: Pilot Study [PDF]

, 2016
Endothelin-1 (ET-1) is a potent vasoconstrictive peptide, and its activity is mediated by thetype A receptor (EDNRA). This action may play a significant role in the etiology of hypertension.There are different works that shows an association between ...

Immunohistochemical Localization of Endothelin- 1 and Endothelin A Receptor in Human Primary Tooth Enamel Organ [PDF]

Journal of Dentistry, 2023
Statement of the Problem: Enamel organ (EO) is an ectodermal derived structure, which is involved in the different aspects of tooth development. Tooth development shares the same regulatory molecules and genes expressed in other developing organs ...
