ETA and ETB receptors are expressed in vascular adventitial fibroblasts.
The adventitia has been recognized to play important roles in vascular oxidative stress, remodeling, and contraction. We recently demonstrated that adventitial fibroblasts are able to express endothelin (ET)-1 in response to ANG II. However, it is unclear whether ET-1 receptors are expressed in the adventitia. We therefore investigated the expression and roles of both ET(A) and ET(B) receptors ...
متن کاملBlood pressure regulation by ETA and ETB receptors in conscious, telemetry-instrumented mice and role of ETA in hypertension produced by selective ETB blockade.
The net contribution of endothelin type A (ET(A)) and type B (ET(B)) receptors in blood pressure regulation in humans and experimental animals, including the conscious mouse, remains undefined. Thus we assessed the role of ET(A) and ET(B) receptors in the control of basal blood pressure and also the role of ET(A) receptors in maintaining the hypertensive effects of systemic ET(B) blockade in te...
متن کاملExpression of endothelin-1, ETA and ETB receptors, and ECE and distribution of endothelin-1 in failing rat heart.
Endothelin (ET)-1 has a positive inotropic effect and induces hypertrophy in cardiomyocytes. We previously reported that the peptide level of ET-1 is increased in the failing heart of rats with chronic heart failure (CHF) and that treatment with an ETA-receptor antagonist greatly improves survival in rats with CHF. However, precise analysis for alteration of the myocardial ET system in the fail...
متن کاملEta Receptors Blockade, by Activating Etb Receptors, Increases Vascular Permeability and Induces Exaggerated Fluid Retention
Endothelin receptor antagonists have been associated with fluid retention. It has been suggested that, of the two endothelin receptor subtypes, ET B receptors should not be blocked, because of their involvement in natriuresis and diuresis. Surprisingly, clinical data suggest that ET A-selective antagonists pose a greater risk of fluid overload than dual antagonists. The purpose of this study wa...
متن کاملDual role of endothelin-1 via ETA and ETB receptors in regulation of cardiac contractile function in mice.
An increase in coronary perfusion pressure leads to increased cardiac contractility, a phenomenon known as the Gregg effect. Exogenous endothelin (ET)-1 exerts a positive inotropic effect; however, the role of endogenous ET-1 in the contractile response to elevated load is unknown. We characterized here the role of ETA and ETB receptors in regulation of contractility in isolated, perfused mouse...
