Bacterial Peptidoglycan Stimulates Adipocyte Lipolysis via NOD1
Obesity is associated with inflammation that can drive metabolic defects such as hyperlipidemia and insulin resistance. Specific metabolites can contribute to inflammation, but nutrient intake and obesity are also associated with altered bacterial load in metabolic tissues (i.e. metabolic endotoxemia). These bacterial cues can contribute to obesity-induced inflammation. The specific bacterial c...
متن کاملEndothelin-1 stimulates steroid secretion of human adrenocortical cells ex vivo via both ETA and ETB receptor subtypes.
The role played by endothelins (ETs) and their receptor subtypes (ETA and ETB) in the regulation of steroid hormone secretion in human adrenal gland remains unclear. Therefore, we investigated the gene expression of ET-1 and its receptors in highly pure preparations of human adrenocortical cells and the effect of ET-1 on their secretory activity. Reverse transcription-PCR with primers specific ...
متن کاملEndothelin-1 decreases endothelial NOS expression and activity through ETA receptor-mediated generation of hydrogen peroxide.
Similar to infants born with persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN), there is an increase in circulating endothelin-1 (ET-1) and decreased endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) gene expression in an ovine model of PPHN. These abnormalities lead to vasoconstriction and vascular remodeling. Our previous studies have demonstrated that reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels are el...
متن کاملEndothelin-1 Promotes Survival and Chemoresistance in Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia B Cells through ETA Receptor
The endothelin axis, comprising endothelins (ET-1, ET-2 and ET-3) and their receptors (ET(A)R and ETBR), has emerged as relevant player in tumor growth and metastasis. Here, we investigated the involvement of ET-1/ET(A)R axis in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). CLL cells expressed higher levels of ET-1 and ETA receptor as compared to normal B cells. ET-1 peptide stimulated phosphoinositide-3...
متن کاملEndothelin ETB receptor heterodimerization: beyond the ETA receptor.
The idea that endothelin ETA and ETB receptors may form homodimers and heterodimers has gained increasing interest in recent years. The existence of such interactions between endothelin receptors has the potential to explain some puzzling results from receptor binding and functional studies. Zeng and colleagues take ETB receptor heterodimerization beyond the ETA receptor, reporting renal endoth...
