Comparison of the structures of the endothelin A receptor antagonists BQ123 and N-methyl leucine BQ123 with the crystal structure of the C-terminal tail of endothelin-1 [PDF]
The functionally important regions of the cyclic pentapeptide endothelin A receptor antagonist BQ123 are shown to correlate with the structure of the C-terminal tail of endothelin-1, as found in the recently-determined X-ray crystal structure.

Growth factors in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis: relative roles [PDF]
Treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis patients has evolved very slowly; the fundamental approach of corticosteroids alone or in combination with other immunosuppressive agents has had little impact on long-term survival.

Spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs) develop severe hypertension and subsequently left ventricular hypertrophy. Whether they also develop right ventricular hypertrophy is not clear. We analyzed 76 female SHRs (strain SHR/NHsd) and observed severe right

Glycogen synthase kinases 3α and 3β in cardiac myocytes: regulation and consequences of their inhibition [PDF]
Inhibition of glycogen synthase kinase 3β (GSK3β) as a consequence of its phosphorylation by protein kinase B/Akt (PKB/Akt) has been implicated in cardiac myocyte hypertrophy in response to endothelin-1 or phenylephrine.

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

Comparing Endothelin A Receptor Expression in Dysplasia and Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Background and purpose: Endothelin axis (endothelin or ET) including endothelin A receptor (ETA) play a major role as the regulator of vessels tone and tissue differentiation and development.
