Phosphoramidon-sensitive conversion of big endothelin-1 and degradation of endothelin-1 in rat kidney.
We investigated the intrarenal conversion of big endothelin-1 (ET-1) to ET-1 in the isolated perfused rat kidney. Big ET-1 caused a concentration-dependent increase in perfusion pressure, and the pressor molar potency of the peptide was 50-fold less than that of ET-1. The big ET-1 (2 x 10(-8) mol/L)-induced pressor action was accompanied by increases in immunoreactive endothelin levels in both ...
متن کاملOncostatin M regulates endothelin-1 production in human endothelial cells.
The effect of the macrophage- and T-lymphocyte-derived cytokine oncostatin M (OSM) on endothelin-1 (ET-1) production in cultured human umbilical cord vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) was studied. OSM (2.5-10 ng/ml) stimulated ET-1 production and the expression of preproendothelin-1 mRNA. The stimulatory effect of OSM was reversed by anti-interleukin (IL)-6 IgG (33 μg/ml). IL-6 (10 ng/ml) was show...
متن کاملEndothelin-1 (1-31) is an intermediate in the production of endothelin-1 after big endothelin-1 administration in vivo.
The precursor of endothelin-1, big endothelin-1, can be hydrolyzed by chymase to generate endothelin-1 (1-31) in vitro. In the present study, we explored the processes involved in the production of endothelin-1 (1-31) as well as its pharmacodynamic characteristics in the rabbit in vivo. Endothelin-1 (1-31) (1 nmol/kg, injected into the left cardiac ventricle) induced a monophasic increase of me...
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 کاملHemodynamic effects of endothelin-1 and big endothelin-1 in chronic hemodialysis patients.
Increased plasma concentrations of endothelin-1 (ET-1) and big endothelin-1 (big ET-1) have been reported in patients with end-stage renal failure (ESRD). In the present study, which included hemodialysis (HD) patients with (n = 21) and without (n = 32) ischemic heart disease, the putative association between plasma levels of ET-1 and big ET-1 and ischemic heart disease and the influence of the...
