P10.01 INVOLVEMENT OF CALCIUM-CALMODULIN DEPENDENT PROTEIN KINASE II ON ENDOTHELIN RECEPTOR EXPRESSION IN CEREBRAL ARTERIES OF RAT

open access: yesArtery Research, 2009
Background. Experimental cerebral ischemia and organ culture of cerebral arteries result in enhanced expression of endothelin ETB receptors in smooth muscle cells. The present study was designed to evaluate the involvement of calcium-calmodulin dependent

The role of endothelin-1 and its autoantibodies in the pathogenesisof atopic dermatitis: a case-control study

open access: yesVestnik Dermatologii i Venerologii, 2021
Background. Atopic dermatitis is a chronic multifactorial dermatosis with a complex pathophysiological basis. One of the poorly studied links in the pathogenesis of the disease is endothelin-1.

Vascular fibrosis in aging and hypertension: molecular mechanisms and clinical implications [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Aging is the primary risk factor underlying hypertension and incident cardiovascular disease. With aging, the vasculature undergoes structural and functional changes characterized by endothelial dysfunction, wall thickening, reduced distensibility, and ...

Portopulmonary hypertension practice patterns after liver transplantation

open access: yesLiver Transplantation, EarlyView., 2022
Abstract Portopulmonary hypertension (POPH) is a type of pulmonary arterial hypertension occurring exclusively in those with portal hypertensive liver disease. Liver transplantation (LT) can significantly improve outcomes. Current guidelines counsel against immediate adjustments to targeted therapy after LT and suggest routine echocardiography as ...

Endothelin-1 Role in Human Eye: A Review

open access: yesJournal of Ophthalmology, 2010
Endothelin is a potent vasoactive peptide occurring in three isotypes, ET-1, ET-2, and ET-3. Through its two main receptors, endothelin A and endothelin B, it is responsible for a variety of physiological functions, primarily blood flow control.

Repurposing of the Drug Tezosentan for Cancer Therapy

open access: yesCurrent Issues in Molecular Biology, 2023
Tezosentan is a vasodilator drug that was originally developed to treat pulmonary arterial hypertension. It acts by inhibiting endothelin (ET) receptors, which are overexpressed in many types of cancer cells. Endothelin-1 (ET1) is a substance produced by

Anti-adrenergic effects of endothelin on human atrial action potentials are potentially anti-arrhythmic [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Endothelin-1 (ET-1) is elevated in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and heart failure. We investigated effects of ET-1 on human atrial cellular electrophysiological measurements expected to influence the genesis and maintenance of AF.

Expression profile of endothelin receptors (ETA and ETB) and microRNAs-155 and -199 in the corpus cavernosum of rats submitted to chronic alcoholism and diabetes mellitus

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2018
Recent evidence shows that chronic ethanol consumption increases endothelin (ET)-1 induced sustained contraction of trabecular smooth muscle cells of the corpora cavernosa in corpus cavernosum of rats by a mechanism that involves increased expression of ...

The dual endothelin converting enzyme/neutral endopeptidase inhibitor SLV-306 (daglutril), inhibits systemic conversion of big endothelin-1 in humans [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Aims - Inhibition of neutral endopeptidases (NEP) results in a beneficial increase in plasma concentrations of natriuretic peptides such as ANP.

Endothelin receptors: what's new and what do we need to know?

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Physiology. Regulatory Integrative and Comparative Physiology, 2010
Receptors are at the heart of how a molecule transmits a signal to a cell. Two receptor classes for endothelin (ET) are recognized, the ET(A) and ET(B) receptors.
