The gastrointestinal endothelin system: receptors, cellular actions, and involvement in gastrointestinal disorders [PDF]
The gastrointestinal endothelin system regulates vital processes including motility, secretion, sensation, and inflammation. Endothelin-1 acts via endothelin A and B receptors expressed on diverse intestinal cells.

Cardiopulmonary bypass–mediated lung ischemia–reperfusion injury: A protective role of sitaxentan [PDF]
Background Cardiopulmonary bypass is widely used in cardiac surgery but often leads to lung ischemia–reperfusion injury, a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Despite advances in critical care, effective prevention remains challenging.

Generating CAR-macrophages to target endothelin B receptor-positive tumors [PDF]
The endothelin axis is highly involved and overexpressed in many tumors, making it an interesting therapeutic target. However, except for strategies based on small molecule antagonists, this axis is poorly targeted by immunotherapy approaches.

DNA methylation of the endothelin receptor B makes blue fish yellow [PDF]
Animal pigmentation is essential for concealment and communication in nature. Though selection acts on the phenotypes of an organism, these traits are often resolved to genes that shape pigmentation in populations.

Genetic interactions between neurofibromin and endothelin receptor B in mice. [PDF]
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 receptor-mediated vasoconstriction induced by endothelin A receptor antagonist [PDF]
The vasoconstrictor effect of endothelins (ET) is mediated by endothelin A (ETA) and endothelin B (ETB) receptors. Furthermore, ETB receptor stimulation results in release of vasodilators. Hence, ETA receptor antagonists should attenuate ET-mediated vasoconstriction. The aim of the present study was to evaluate and compare the effects of BQ-123, an ETA

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]
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

EndothelinA-endothelinB receptor cross-talk and endothelin receptor binding [PDF]
AbstractBackground and objectiveThe magnitude of inhibition of an endothelin (ET)-1 response by selective blockade of the ETA or ETB receptors can be limited by apparent compensation mediated by the unblocked receptor. While the mechanism underlying this functionally defined interaction, or ‘cross-talk’, is not clear, binding studies suggest an ...
