NFATc3 is required for chronic hypoxia-induced pulmonary hypertension in adult and neonatal mice.
Pulmonary hypertension occurs with prolonged exposure to chronic hypoxia in both adults and neonates. The Ca(2+)-dependent transcription factor, nuclear factor of activated T cells isoform c3 (NFATc3), has been implicated in chronic hypoxia-induced pulmonary arterial remodeling in adult mice. Therefore, we hypothesized that NFATc3 is required for chronic hypoxia-induced pulmonary hypertension i...
متن کاملNFATc3 is required for intermittent hypoxia-induced hypertension.
Sleep apnea, defined as intermittent respiratory arrest during sleep, is associated with increased incidence of hypertension and peripheral vascular disease. Exposure of rodents to brief periods of intermittent hypercarbia/hypoxia (H-IH) during sleep mimics the cyclical hypoxia-normoxia of sleep apnea. Endothelin-1, an upstream activator of nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT), is increas...
متن کاملRegulation of soluble guanylyl cyclase-alpha1 expression in chronic hypoxia-induced pulmonary hypertension: role of NFATc3 and HuR.
The nitric oxide/soluble guanylyl cyclase (sGC) signal transduction pathway plays an important role in smooth muscle relaxation and phenotypic regulation. However, the transcriptional regulation of sGC gene expression is largely unknown. It has been shown that sGC expression increases in pulmonary arteries from chronic hypoxia-induced pulmonary hypertensive animals. Since the transcription fact...
متن کاملStatins and Pulmonary Hypertension in Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease
Chronic obstructive lung disease (COPD) is a chronic multisystem disease with a considerable burden. One of its most common complications is pulmonary artery hypertension (PAH). It has been demonstrated that the development of PAH is correlated with decreased quality of life and survival. Different medications have been proposed for the treatment of PAH, among which one can name statins. Howeve...
