A novel role for myeloid endothelin-B receptors in hypertension [PDF]
Aims Hypertension is common. Recent data suggest that macrophages (Mφ) contribute to, and protect from, hypertension. Endothelin-1 (ET-1) is the most potent endogenous vasoconstrictor with additional pro-inflammatory properties.

Ligand-dependent Differences in the Internalization of Endothelin A and Endothelin B Receptor Heterodimers* [PDF]
Endothelin-1 (ET-1) is a potent vasoactive peptide that acts on endothelin A (ETA) and endothelin B (ETB) receptors. Although both receptor subtypes are co-expressed in numerous cells, little is known about their ability to form heterodimers.

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

Localization of endothelin-1 and endothelin-receptors A and B in human epididymis [PDF]
Expression of mRNA of endothelin-1 (ET-1) and its receptors, endothelin receptor A (ET-A) and endothelin receptor B (ET-B), in human epididymis was assessed by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Immunohistochemistry was performed on longitudinal sections through whole normal human epididymides.

Clarifying Endothelin Type B Receptor Function [PDF]
Endothelin (ET) receptors have become the targets for the treatment of a variety of cardiovascular disorders and a mixed ET type A (ETA)/ET type B (ETB) receptor antagonist, bosentan, is currently being used to effectively treat pulmonary hypertension.

Targeting of endothelin receptor‐B to the neural crest [PDF]
AbstractEndothelin receptor B (Ednrb) plays a critical role in the development of melanocytes and neurons and glia of the enteric nervous system. These distinct neural crest‐derived cell types express Ednrb and share the property of intercalating into tissues, such as the intestine whose muscle precursor cells also express Ednrb.

Background Protein kinase C (PKC) is known to be involved in the pathophysiology of experimental cerebral ischemia. We have previously shown that after transient middle cerebral artery occlusion, there is an upregulation of endothelin receptors in the ...

AKI is associated with high mortality rates and the development of CKD. Ischemia/reperfusion (IR) is an important cause of AKI. Unfortunately, there is no available pharmacologic approach to prevent or limit renal IR injury in common clinical practice ...
