Role of endothelin receptor A and NADPH oxidase in vascular abnormalities
Vascular dilatation is critically impaired in many diseases and is encountered by an upregulated endothelin receptor A (ETA) in the vasculature in association with a decline in nitric oxide bioavailability. Diabetic vasculopathy is characterized as a compromised vascular dilatation, implicated in many diabetic complications. It appears to be activated ETA and NADPH (nicotinamide adenine dinucle...
متن کاملEndothelin-1 increases vascular superoxide via endothelin(A)-NADPH oxidase pathway in low-renin hypertension.
BACKGROUND Angiotensin II-induced hypertension is associated with NAD(P)H oxidase-dependent superoxide production in the vessel wall. Vascular superoxide level is also increased in deoxycorticosterone acetate (DOCA)-salt hypertension, which is associated with a markedly depressed plasma renin activity because of sodium retention. However, the mechanisms underlying superoxide production in low-r...
متن کاملLeptin, endothelin, NADPH oxidase, and heart failure.
Leptin, Endothelin, NADPH Oxidase, and Heart Failure To the Editor: We read with great interest the article by Dong et al1 in the February 2006 issue of Hypertension. They showed that leptin suppresses cardiac contractile function in ventricular myocytes by an endothelin-1 and NADPH oxidase–dependent pathway. Interestingly, both endothelin receptor A and B antagonists were able to attenuate the...
متن کاملThe emerging role of NADPH oxidase NOX5 in vascular disease.
Oxidative stress is a consequence of up-regulation of pro-oxidant enzyme-induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and concomitant depletion of antioxidants. Elevated levels of ROS act as an intermediate and are the common denominator for various diseases including diabetes-associated macro-/micro-vascular complications and hypertension. A range of enzymes are capable of generating ROS, ...
متن کاملRole of NADPH oxidase in retinal vascular inflammation.
PURPOSE In another study, it was demonstrated that NADPH oxidase-derived reactive oxygen species (ROS) are important for ischemia-induced increases in vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and retinal neovascularization. Diabetes-induced increases in retinal ROS, VEGF expression, and vascular permeability are accompanied by increases in the NADPH oxidase catalytic subunit NOX2 within the re...
