EDN1

EDN1

A gene on chromosome 6p24.1 that encodes endothelin 1, a potent vasoconstrictor of the endothelin family, which is produced by vascular endothelial cells.

As shown in Table 3, compared with the sham intervention, the true purification intervention was associated with significantly lower expression of IL1 mRNA and protein and significantly higher expression of the single miRNA predicted for IL-1 (miR-21-5p); with significantly lower TNF mRNA (but not TNF-[alpha] protein) and significantly higher expression of the miRNA predicted for this cytokine (miR-187-3p); with significantly lower TLR2 mRNA (but not TLR-2 protein), and significantly higher expression of one of the two miRNAs predicted for this cytokine (miR-146a-5p); and with significantly lower EDN1 mRNA and ET-1 protein and significantly higher expression of both miRNAs predicted for this cytokine (miR-1-3p and miR-199a-5p).

EDN1 Lys198 ASN is associated with diabetic retinopathy in type 2 diabetes.
Effect of duration of diabetes on severity of retinopathy
EDN1 is a potent endogenous vasoconstrictor, has positive inotropic and chronotropic effects and mitogenic properties, influences homeostasis, and stimulates the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone and the sympathetic systems (1-3).
Pre-pro-EDN1 mRNA (2026 nucleotides) is the product of the human EDN1 gene (6836 nucleotides), which is located on chromosome 6p23-p24.
By sequencing the EDN1 gene of 56 unrelated Caucasians systematically, we identified four novel common genetic variations:
We therefore established standard PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) methods for the 12 polymorphisms listed above and a melting peak analysis method using fluorescent probes (LightCycler assays) for the rapid detection of possibly functionally important EDN1 polymorphisms [except for +138/ex1ins/delA, for which a TaqMan assay already exists in our laboratory (11)].
org/content/vol50/issue2/) were chosen according to the EDN1 sequence (OMIM*131240; GenBank accession no.
Identification of twelve polymorphisms in the endothelin-1 gene by use of fluorescently labeled oligonucleotides and PCR with restriction fragment polymorphism analysis
The impact of tagged single-nucleotide polymorphisms (tagSNPs) and inferred haplotypes in 12 candidate genes (ACE, ADRB2, AGT, AGTR1, ALOX15, EDN1, GRK4, PTGS1, PTGS2, TLR4, VEGFA, and VEGFB) on the relationship between residential proximity to major roadways and LVM was analyzed using multiple linear regression, adjusting for multiple potential confounders.
Twelve genes were selected from among genotyped MESA candidate genes: ACE, ADRB2, AGT, AGTR1, ALOX15, EDN1, GRK4, PTGS1, PTGS2, TLR4, VEGFA, and VEGFB.
