Luteolin inhibits endothelin-1 secretion in cultured endothelial cells.
We discovered that luteolin, a typical flavonoid contained in various kinds of plants, inhibits the secretion and gene expression of endothelin-1 (ET-1), a potent vasoconstrictor regulating blood pressure, in porcine aortic endothelial cells. Its ED50 was about 10 microM. In addition, the inhibition of ET-1 by a glycoside compound of luteolin (luteolin-6-C-glucoside) was weak.
متن کاملCaptopril inhibits endothelin-1 secretion from endothelial cells through bradykinin.
Incubation with captopril, an angiotensin I converting enzyme inhibitor, for 24 hours at concentrations up to 10(-7) M inhibited endothelin-1 secretion by endothelial cells. This inhibition of endothelin-1 secretion was reversed by coincubation with 3 x 10(-3) M NG-nitro-L-arginine, an inhibitor of nitric oxide synthesis. Furthermore, captopril enhanced the production of nitric oxide in endothe...
متن کاملEndothelin-3 regulates endothelin-1 production in cultured human endothelial cells.
Effects of endothelin-3 on the secretion of endothelin-1 and other endothelium-derived substances were investigated in cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells. The present binding study showed two distinct subpopulations of binding sites for endothelin-3 with higher and lower affinities in cultured human endothelial cells. Endothelin-3 caused an increase in intracellular Ca2+ and inosit...
متن کاملEndothelin-1 inhibits endothelin-converting enzyme-1 expression in cultured rat pulmonary endothelial cells.
BACKGROUND The lung expresses large amounts of endothelin-converting enzyme-1 (ECE-1), which catalyzes a step in the biosynthesis of potent vasoactive endothelin-1 (ET-1) from the inactive intermediate big ET-1. Because there has been no report concerning a possible relationship between ET-1 and ECE-1, we investigated the effects of ET-1 on ECE-1 expression in cultured rat pulmonary endothelial...
متن کاملInhibitory effect of atrial natriuretic peptide on accelerated endothelin secretion from cultured human endothelial cells.
This study investigated the effect of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) on endothelin (ET) secretion from cultured human endothelial cells. Confluent umbilical venous endothelial cells were incubated with experimental agents in multi-well plates, and the level of immunoreactive ET in the medium was measured by radioimmunoassay. There was no significant effect of ANP (10(-8), 10(-7) and 10(-6) M)...
