Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study develops a human engineered heart tissue‐derived model of diabetic cardiomyopathy that accurately replicates the dynamic changes in the structural, contractile, and electrophysiological properties of the myocardium. Furthermore, this model is used to confirm the direct protective effects of empagliflozin on the heart through an SGLT2 off ...

Gαq signalling from endosomes: A new conundrum
British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView., 2023 Abstract G‐protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) constitute the largest family of membrane receptors, and are involved in the transmission of a variety of extracellular stimuli such as hormones, neurotransmitters, light and odorants into intracellular responses.

Pharmacological Potential of Endothelin Receptors Agonists and Antagonists
Acta Medica, 2005 Endothelins are potent predominantly vasoconstricting agents that act as local autocrine and paracrine mediators. Endothelin-1 is the most potent and sustained vasoconstrictor and pressor substance yet identified.

Endocrine Regulations, 2021 Objective. The aim of the present investigation was to study the impact of glucose and gluta-mine deprivations on the expression of genes encoding EDN1 (endothelin-1), its cognate receptors (EDNRA and EDNRB), and ECE1 (endothelin converting enzyme 1) in ...

Astrocytic ET‐1 System Determines Microglia Phenotype Following Spinal Cord Injury
Advanced Science, EarlyView.The study reveals that astrocytic ET‐1 system is solely activated by thrombin following SCI via RhoA/NF‐κB and MAPKs/NF‐κB signal pathway. The release of astrocytic ET‐1 drives microglia polarization toward M1 phenotype through YAP signaling via ETA and ETB receptors.

Structural basis of antagonist selectivity in endothelin receptors
Cell DiscoveryEndothelins and their receptors, ETA and ETB, play vital roles in maintaining vascular homeostasis. Therapeutically targeting endothelin receptors, particularly through ETA antagonists, has shown efficacy in treating pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH)

Endothelin receptors as novel targets in tumor therapy
Journal of Translational Medicine, 2004 The endotelin (ET) axis, that includes ET-1, ET-2, ET-3, and the ET receptors, ETA and ETB, plays an important physiological role, as modulator of vasomotor tone, tissue differentiation and development, cell proliferation, and hormone production ...

Nuclear β-arrestin1 is a critical cofactor of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α signaling in endothelin-1-induced ovarian tumor progression [PDF]
, 2016 Hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) mediates the response to hypoxia or other stimuli, such as growth factors, including endothelin-1 (ET-1), to promote malignant progression in numerous tumors.

Comprehensive genetic analysis of poorly differentiated gastric cancer in young females
Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.Although the involvement of female sex hormones in the development of poorly differentiated gastric cancer in young females is controversial, our detailed analysis using RNA‐seq suggested that the female sex hormone, β‐estradiol plays a role in the development of poorly differentiated gastric cancer in young females. Abstract Aim The reasons behind the
