Endothelin 1 (swine, human) (TFA) is a synthetic peptide with human and porcine Endothelin 1 (ET-1) sequences and is a potent endogenous vasoconstrictor[1]. Endothelin 1 acts through ETA and ETB receptors and has proinflammatory and profibrotic effects[2]. Endothelin 1 is a potent vasoconstrictor and mitogen that contributes to elevated blood pressure and associated vascular remodeling and target organ damage[3]. Endothelin 1 can act as an autocrine/paracrine growth factor in porcine ovarian granulosa cells and human cancer cell lines[4, 5].
In vitro, treatment of porcine ovarian (granulosa) cell monolayers with Endothelin 1 (swine, human) (TFA) (100nM) rapidly increased intracellular soluble inositol polyphosphate content, elevated Ca2+ concentration, and inhibited follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)-stimulated progesterone and cAMP accumulation[6].

Endothelin 1 (swine, human) (TFA)是一种具有人和猪内皮素1(ET-1)序列的合成肽,是有效的内源性血管收缩剂[1]。Endothelin 1通过ETA和ETB受体发挥作用,还具有促炎症反应和促纤维化作用[2]。Endothelin 1是一种强大的血管收缩剂和有丝分裂原,有助于血压升高以及相关的血管重塑和靶器官损伤[3]。Endothelin 1可以充当猪卵巢颗粒细胞和人类癌细胞系中的自分泌/旁分泌生长因子[4, 5]。
在体外,Endothelin 1(100nM)处理猪卵巢(颗粒)细胞单层培养物,快速增加了细胞内可溶性肌醇多磷酸酯含量,升高了Ca2+浓度,抑制了促卵泡激素(FSH)刺激的孕酮和cAMP积累[6]。
