In diabetes, ET-1 levels are elevated and upregulation of ETA and ETB occurs in the vasculature, along with a reduction in NO bioavailability.1,4 Activated ET receptors can also be found in diabetic complications such as cardiomyopathy and testopathy.2426 NOX is stimulated mainly by ETA, with PKC actively involved.27 The vasoconstrictive activity of ET-1 is mediated by the activity of NOX, and an activation of the L-type calcium channels by ET-1 causes an influx of calcium ions through activating NOX.28 An interaction of ET-1 with ROS is known as the ETROS pathway, which activates the ERK signaling pathway and AP-1 transcriptional factor.29 There is a positive feedback mechanism between them via an activation of ERK. | |||||||||||||||
