Endothelins are a family of peptides, which comprises endothelin-1 (ET-1), endothelin-2 (ET-2) and endothelin-3 (ET-3), each containing 21 amino-acids. ET-1 is a peptide secreted mostly by vascular endothelial cells, the predominant isoform expressed in vasculature and the most potent vasoconstrictor currently known. ET-1 also has inotropic, chemotactic and mitogenic properties. In addition, it influences salt and water homeostasis through its effects on the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system…

Endothelin antagonists in hypertension and kidney disease
TLDR
Experimental evidence and recent clinical studies suggest that endothelin receptor blockade, in particular selective ETAR blockade, holds promise in the treatment of hypertension, proteinuria, and diabetes.
Endothelin ETA receptor antagonism in cardiovascular disease.
TLDR
The role of ET-1 in cardiovascular modulation and the therapeutic potential of endothelin receptor antagonism are summarized.
Pathophysiological roles of endothelin receptors in cardiovascular diseases.
TLDR
The current understanding regarding the role of ET receptors, especially the ET(B) receptor, in CVD is summarized.
Endothelin Antagonism Suppresses Plasma and Cardiac Endothelin-1 Levels in SHRSPs at the Typical Hypertensive Stage
TLDR
Investigation of the effects of ET blockade on the expression levels of plasma and cardiac ET-1 in SHRSPs found that suppression of the upregulated ET system might be beneficial in arresting cardiac remodeling.
Endothelin Receptor Blockers in Cardiovascular Disease
TLDR
The endothelin (ET) system is comprised of 4 active ETs, with ET-1 being the predominant isoform in the cardiovascular system, and the nonselective ET receptor antagonist bosentan improves exercise capacity and increases time to clinical worsening in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension.
Inhibition of ENaC by endothelin-1.
TLDR
Inhibition of ENaC by endothelin-1 (ET-1) has been established in renal cells, and several molecular mechanisms of inhibition of EN aC by ET-1 are proposed and will be reviewed in this chapter.
Endothelin-1 and H2O2-induced signaling in vascular smooth muscle cells : modulation by CaMKII and Nitric oxide
Endothelin-1 has emerged as an extremely potent vasoactive peptide exhibiting potent mitogenic activity in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). A critical role of ET-1 in many cardiovascular…
Vascular Endothelin and Angiotensin Receptors Regulation in Inflammatory Arterial Disorders
TLDR
It is demonstrated that there is increased ETB and AT1 receptor expression in VSMC in ischemic heart disease and in GCA which correlates with the degree of inflammation.
Expression of Endothelin-1 by Stimulation with CXCL8 in Mouse Peritoneal Macrophages
TLDR
Investigation of the role of IL-8/CXCL8, as a major inflammatory chemokine, for ET-1 expression in macrophges suggests it can act as one of main inducers ofET-1 in vascular inflammatory reactions, and ET- 1 expression by IL- 8/CxCL8 is related to 12-LO pathway in PeMφ.
Pericardial fluid of cardiac patients elicits arterial constriction: role of endothelin-1.
TLDR
It is demonstrated that PFs of patients elicit substantial arterial constrictions, which is mediated primarily by ET-1, which could be a potential therapeutic target to improve coronary blood flow in cardiac patients.

Effects of endothelin-1 on renal function in humans: implications for physiology and pathophysiology.
TLDR
According to this study, endothelin-1 participates in volume homeostasis in human, whereas pathophysiological concentrations can contribute to renal vasoconstriction and sodium retention, and calcium channel blockers may protect against these effects of endothelins-1.
Vasoconstriction to endogenous endothelin-1 is increased in the peripheral circulation of patients with essential hypertension.
TLDR
It is indicated that TAK-044 caused a greater degree of vasodilation in the forearm vessels of essential hypertensive patients compared with normotensive subjects, an alteration associated with decreased tonic NO release.
Increased activity of endogenous endothelin in patients with hypercholesterolemia.
TLDR
The vascular activity of endogenous ET-1 is enhanced in hypercholesterolemic patients, whereas their sensitivity to exogenous ET-2 is unchanged, and these findings suggest increased production ofET-1, which may participate in the pathophysiology of vascular disease characteristic of hyper cholesterolemia.
Contribution of endogenous generation of endothelin-1 to basal vascular tone
TLDR
Results show that endogenous production of endothelin-1 contributes to the maintenance of vascular tone, andEndothelin converting enzyme inhibitors and receptor antagonists may have therapeutic potential as vasodilators.
Chronic endothelin receptor antagonism preserves coronary endothelial function in experimental hypercholesterolemia.
TLDR
The role for ET-1 in the pathogenesis of endothelial function is supported, and endothelin receptor antagonists may have a therapeutic role by maintaining coronary endothelialfunction in pathophysiological states.
Angiotensin II increases tissue endothelin and induces vascular hypertrophy: reversal by ET(A)-receptor antagonist.
BACKGROUND In vitro studies on vascular smooth muscle cells suggest that endothelin has a stimulating effect on cellular proliferation. This study was designed to determine the endogenous effect of…
Expression of endothelin-1 in the lungs of patients with pulmonary hypertension.
TLDR
Preliminary results suggest that pulmonary hypertension is associated with the increased expression of endothelin-1 in vascular endothelial cells, suggesting that the local production of endethelin- 1 may contribute to the vascular abnormalities associated with this disorder.
Plasma Endothelin in Chronic Heart Failure
TLDR
Evidence suggests that circulatory endothelin concentrations in the range 5–40 pmol/l are vasoactive, and may be of pathophysiological significance in patients with chronic heart failure.
Prevention of the cardiovascular and renal effects of angiotensin II by endothelin blockade.
TLDR
In conclusion, endogenous endothelin contributes to the cardiovascular and renal effects of Ang II, and the dipsogenic action of angiotensin II was not influenced by bosentan.
Selective upregulation of endothelin converting enzyme-1a in the human failing heart.
TLDR
This study showed that the biosynthetic pathway of ET-1 is activated in LV myocardium in the failing heart, and the myocardial processing of big ET- 1 is highly specific for ECE-1.
