Hypoxic regulation of EDN1, EDNRA, EDNRB, and ECE1 gene expressions in ERN1 knockdown U87 glioma cells

Endocrine Regulations, 2019
Objective. The aim of the present investigation was to study the effect of hypoxia on the expression of genes encoding endothelin-1 (EDN1) and its cognate receptors (EDNRA and EDNRB) as well as endothelin converting enzyme 1 (ECE1) in U87 glioma cells in

Sympatho‐Excitation in Pulmonary Hypertension: The Potential Role of Pulmonary Arterial Baroreceptors: An Acute Physiologic Intervention Study

Respirology, EarlyView.
Pulmonary arterial baroreceptors reflexively stimulate sympathetic nerve activity (SNA) in response to elevated pulmonary artery pressure and distension. In pulmonary hypertension patients, changes in muscle SNA were proportional to changes in pulmonary haemodynamics following nebulised iloprost.

Genetic Pigmentary Disorders: From Molecular Mechanisms to Clinical Manifestations

The Journal of Dermatology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Genetic pigmentary disorders represent a diverse group of genetic conditions characterized by alterations in melanin production and transport and melanocyte development, resulting from single‐gene pathological variants. These disorders encompass both hypopigmentary and hyperpigmentary phenotypes, affecting not only skin pigmentation but also ...

Cardiovascular Plasticity and Adaptation of High‐Altitude Birds and Mammals

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
This schematic depicts the cardiovascular adaptations of mammals and birds to high‐altitude hypoxia. It highlights key phenotypic changes in oxygen transport and cardiac responses, driven by molecular mechanisms including transcriptional regulation and genetic modifications.

Endothelin Type B Receptor–Induced Sustained Ca2+ Influx Involves Gq/11/Phospholipase C–Independent, p38 Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase–Dependent Activation of Na+/H+ Exchanger

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2010
The mechanism for sustained Ca2+ influx activated by G protein–coupled receptors was examined. In Chinese hamster ovary cells expressing recombinant human endothelin type B receptor (ETBR) and endogenous P2Y receptor (P2Y-R), endothelin-1 elicited a ...

Single oral administration of dronabinol increases ocular blood flow in patients with glaucoma

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Glaucoma is a leading cause of irreversible blindness globally, primarily driven by elevated intraocular pressure (IOP). Still, some patients progress despite significant IOP lowering, potentially due to impaired ocular blood flow. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of dronabinol, a synthetic tetrahydrocannabinol derivative, on ...

Vessel‐associated microglia are differentially activated and distributed in relation to systemic infection and Alzheimer's disease

Brain Pathology, EarlyView.
This post‐mortem study revealed an increased density of vessel‐associated microglia (VAM) in the temporal lobe in systemic infection and Alzheimer's disease. VAM density was related to brain cytokine levels and markers of cerebrovascular dysfunction and BBB leakage indicating that activated VAM contributes to neurovascular injury in Alzheimer's disease.

Endothelial Netrin‐4 regulates oligodendrocyte precursor cell proliferation and differentiation via ET‐1 signaling in preterm white matter injury

Brain Pathology, EarlyView.
Our findings show early increased Netrin‐4 in mice with PWMI boosts angiogenesis and OPCs proliferation. Later, high levels hinder OPCs differentiation into mature cells, impairing myelination. It may act by stimulating ET‐1 secretion. Abstract Perinatal hypoxia–ischemia is a leading cause of preterm white matter injury (PWMI), yet mechanisms ...
