Phosphodiesterase 10A Upregulation Contributes to Pulmonary Vascular Remodeling
Phosphodiesterases (PDEs) modulate the cellular proliferation involved in the pathophysiology of pulmonary hypertension (PH) by hydrolyzing cAMP and cGMP. The present study was designed to determine whether any of the recently identified PDEs (PDE7-PDE11) contribute to progressive pulmonary vascular remodeling in PH. All in vitro experiments were performed with lung tissue or pulmonary arterial...
متن کاملUpregulation of MicroRNA-214 Contributes to the Development of Vascular Remodeling in Hypoxia-induced Pulmonary Hypertension Via Targeting CCNL2
Hypoxia-induced pulmonary hypertension (PH), which is characterized by vascular remodeling of blood vessels, is a significant complication of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). In this study, we screened 13 candidate miRNAs in pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PASMCs) harvested from COPD patients with PH (n = 18) and normal controls (n = 15) and found that the expression of miR-2...
متن کاملThrombin‐mediated activation of Akt signaling contributes to pulmonary vascular remodeling in pulmonary hypertension
Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) has been increasingly recognized as a common source of elevated pulmonary vascular resistance and pulmonary hypertension. It is clear that development of pulmonary thromboemboli is the inciting event for this process, yet it remains unclear why some patients have persistent pulmonary artery occlusion leading to distal pulmonary vascular remo...
متن کاملPhosphodiesterase 1 upregulation in pulmonary arterial hypertension: target for reverse-remodeling therapy.
BACKGROUND Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a life-threatening disease, characterized by vascular smooth muscle cell hyperproliferation. The calcium/calmodulin-dependent phosphodiesterase 1 (PDE1) may play a major role in vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation. METHODS AND RESULTS We investigated the expression of PDE1 in explanted lungs from idiopathic PAH patients and animal mode...
متن کاملNADPH oxidase 4 is expressed in pulmonary artery adventitia and contributes to hypertensive vascular remodeling.
OBJECTIVE Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a progressive disease arising from remodeling and narrowing of pulmonary arteries (PAs) resulting in high pulmonary blood pressure and ultimately right ventricular failure. Elevated production of reactive oxygen species by NADPH oxidase 4 (Nox4) is associated with increased pressure in PH. However, the cellular location of Nox4 and its contribution to ab...
