Human big-endothelin-1 and endothelin-1 release prostacyclin via the activation of ET1 receptors in the rat perfused lung.

Although ET1 and ET2 binding sites were found in rat lung membranes, a selective ET1 receptor antagonist, BQ-123 (10 microM), did not displace [125I]-endothelin-1 ([125I]ET-1) from ET2 sites, illustrating the selectivity of the angatonist for ET1 receptors. In rat perfused lungs, BQ-123 (1 microM) m...
