- W2024687651 abstract "Endothelin (ET)-1 peripheral levels are high in children with respect to values of adults, but its pathophysiological significance remains to be established. In these conditions the interaction of ET-1 with its receptors may constitute a clue to the understanding of ET-1 function. Because a direct determination of ET binding sites in the heart of children is lacking, in this study we have attempted an assessment of the ET receptor status in cardiac tissue of infants (<1 year; 0.39 +/- 0.26 (SD) years, n=6) and children (1-14 years; 6.3 +/- 4.9 years, n=7) as well as an evaluation of the receptor modulation as a function of age, associated to the observed decrease of plasma ET levels between infants and children. ET-1 binding sites have also been evaluated in atrium and ventricle membranes of adult subjects recipient of cardiac transplantation (CHF) and of post-mortem cardiac specimens (autopsy) of non cardiac patients. Considering all the pediatric patients (infants +/- children) studied, an affinity constant (Kd) value of 38.2 +/- 6.1 (SEM) pM and a density (Bmax) value of 166.2 +/- 11.6 fmol/mg protein has been obtained for atrium. Similar values have been found in the ventricle. These values are significantly higher with respect to those obtained in adults: for atrial membranes, Kd = 22.2 +/- 9.7 and 11.6 +/- 1.8 pM; Bmax = 58.4 +/- 22.8 and 42.1 +/- 8.9 fmol/mg protein, respectively in explanted hearts and in post mortem specimens. No significant differences have been found in the binding parameters between infants and children, while, considering our results as a whole, a significant inverse correlation between Bmax and subject age (p<0.001) is suggested. The ET-A/ET-B ratio, evaluated by competition experiments with the specific ET-A antagonist BQ-123, was about 70:30 in pediatric patients, in both atrium and ventricle, without any difference between infants and children. Similar values for ET-A/ET-B ratio in adult CHF patients, in contrast to a reduction (significant only in ventricle) of the percent of ET-A subtype in autopsy, has been found. This is the first study concerning a direct evaluation of ET receptor status in children's hearts; the higher density of binding sites, associated to the elevation of plasma levels, could suggest a enhanced biological function of ET in children." @default.
