Endothelin B Receptor Immunodynamics in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension

Frontiers in Immunology, 2022
IntroductionInflammation is a major pathological feature of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), particularly in the context of inflammatory conditions such as systemic sclerosis (SSc).

Overexpression of endothelin B receptor in glioblastoma: a prognostic marker and therapeutic target?

BMC Cancer, 2018
Background Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common malignant brain tumor with median survival of 12-15 months. Owing to uncertainty in clinical outcome, additional prognostic marker(s) apart from existing markers are needed.

Right Ventricular Hypertrophy in Spontaneously Hypertensive Rats (SHR/NHsd) Is Associated with Inter-Individual Variations of the Pulmonary Endothelin System [PDF]

Biology
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

Genetic interactions between neurofibromin and endothelin receptor B in mice. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
When mutations in two different genes produce the same mutant phenotype, it suggests that the encoded proteins either interact with each other, or act in parallel to fulfill a similar purpose.

Endothelin B Receptors on Primary Chicken Müller Cells and the Human MIO-M1 Müller Cell Line Activate ERK Signaling via Transactivation of Epidermal Growth Factor Receptors. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
Injury to the eye or retina triggers Müller cells, the major glia cell of the retina, to dedifferentiate and proliferate. In some species they attain retinal progenitor properties and have the capacity to generate new neurons. The epidermal growth factor

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 ...

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 ...

Endothelin B receptors contribute to retinal ganglion cell loss in a rat model of glaucoma. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Glaucoma is an optic neuropathy, commonly associated with elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) characterized by optic nerve degeneration, cupping of the optic disc, and loss of retinal ganglion cells which could lead to loss of vision. Endothelin-1 (ET-1)

Stretching Promotes Wound Contraction Through Enhanced Expression of Endothelin Receptor B and TRPC3 in Fibroblasts

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Global Open, 2023
Background:. One factor that can contribute to the development of hypertrophic scar contracture is mechanical stress. Mechanical cyclic stretch stimuli enhance the secretion of endothelin-1 (ET-1) from keratinocyte.
