Broadening the View: Substance P and Its Metabolism in Pruritus‐Related Diseases

The Journal of Dermatology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Chronic pruritus is a debilitating symptom accompanying numerous inflammatory skin diseases and remains a major therapeutic challenge. Neurogenic inflammation plays a central role in its pathogenesis, with the tachykinin substance P acting as a key mediator at the interface of the nervous system, immune cells, and cutaneous tissues.

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 ...

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.

The role of endothelin in stroke: Experimental data and underlying pathophysiology

Archives of Medical Science, 2006
The role of endothelin in functional and structural changes after stroke is only partly understood: synthesis and release of the potent vasoconstrictor peptide endothelin-1 increases following ischemia and mediates the delayed hypoperfusion associated ...

Targeting the activated allosteric conformation of the endothelin receptor B in melanoma with an antibody-drug conjugate: mechanisms and therapeutic efficacy

BJC Reports
Background Endothelin 1 receptors are one of the drivers of tumor progression in many cancers. Inhibition of their signaling pathways with antagonist drugs has been the subject of numerous clinical trials, but the results have not met expectations ...

Emollient Formulations and Skin Barrier Practices in the Context of Eczema and Food Allergy Prevention

Allergy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The skin is far from a passive shield; it functions as a dynamic “living barrier” whose structural and immunological integrity is paramount in preventing atopic dermatitis (AD) and the subsequent progression of the atopic march toward food allergy (FA).

New perspectives on VEGF signalling in Alzheimer's disease

Brain Pathology, EarlyView.
Emery et al. bring together findings from recent multi‐omic studies, including single‐cell mRNA analysis of human post‐mortem brain tissue, and proteomic analysis of matched CSF and blood samples in large clinical studies. The authors present evidence of the involvement of altered VEGF signalling in vascular and immune dysfunction and neurodegeneration

Endothelin Receptors Expressed by Immune Cells Are Involved in Modulation of Inflammation and in Fibrosis: Relevance to the Pathogenesis of Systemic Sclerosis

Journal of Immunology Research, 2015
Endothelin-1 (ET-1) plays a pivotal role in vasoconstriction, fibrosis, and inflammation, the key features of systemic sclerosis (SSc). ET-1 receptors (ETA and ETB) are expressed on endothelial cells, smooth muscle cells, and fibroblasts, but their ...

Renal‐vascular axis: unmasking its role in vascular endothelial growth factor‐inhibitor vascular toxicity in cancer patients

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Vascular toxicity is a growing concern in cancer patients receiving vascular endothelial growth factor inhibitor (VEGFi) therapy, posing a significant threat to patient prognosis. While the primary mechanism of VEGFi‐induced vascular toxicity is linked to redox‐sensitive reactions that disrupt vascular tone, leading to hypertension and ...
