Abstract excerpt
The endothelial cell-derived endothelin-1 (ET-1) is a potent mitogen for endothelial cells, vascular smooth muscle cells, and tumor cells. In this study, we analyzed the role of ET-1 on human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) phenotype related to different stages of angiogenesis. ET-1 promoted HUVEC proliferation, migration, and invasion in a dose-dependent manner. The ET(B) receptor (ET(B)R) antagonist, BQ...
