Addition of inhaled iloprost to bosentan may have beneficial effects in patients with idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH). A multicentre, open, randomised, controlled trial was performed to assess the safety and efficacy of inhaled iloprost in patients with IPAH who had already been treated with bosentan. The trial was terminated early after a futility analysis predicted failure w...
This study aimed to determine whether the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) family members soluble VEGF receptor 1 (also called soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase 1 (sFlt-1)) and placental growth factor (PlGF) could be used as biomarkers for pulmonary hypertension (PH). Consecutive patients undergoing right heart catheterisation were enrolled (those with mean pulmonary arterial pressure ≥...
In the present study, the hypothesis that dendritic cells (DCs), key players in immunity and tolerance, might be involved in the immunopathology of idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH) was tested. The phenotype and localisation of DCs were characterised by immunohistochemistry and double-labelling immunofluorescence in lung samples from controls, human IPAH patients and an experime...
An increase in cytosolic free Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)]cyt) in pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells (PASMC) is a major trigger for pulmonary vasoconstriction and a critical stimulation for PASMC proliferation and migration. Previously, we demonstrated that expression and function of calcium sensing receptors (CaSR) in PASMC from patients with idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (I...
BACKGROUND The prevalence and prognostic implications of hypoxemia either at rest or during six-minute walk test (6MWT) in patients with idiopathic or heritable pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH or HPAH) have not been systemically studied. OBJECTIVES We sought to determine the prevalence, phenotypic and prognostic implications of hypoxemia in patients with IPAH and HPAH. METHODS Patient...
Pulmonary hypertension (PHT) is associated with increased vascular resistance due to sustained contraction and enhanced proliferation of pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells (PASMC); the abnormal tone and remodeling in the pulmonary vasculature may relate, at least in part, to decreased cyclic nucleotide levels. Cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases (PDEs), of which 11 families have been ident...
Knowledge of molecular mechanisms underlying pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) continues to increase with the emerging theme that PAH is a heterogeneous disease involving multiple molecular abnormalities. Mutations in several genes have been identified in subsets of patients with PAH, and multiple signaling systems that influence vascular tone, function, and remodeling have been associated ...
Idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH) is a rare and progressive disease. Several processes are believed to lead to the fatal progressive pulmonary arterial narrowing seen in IPAH including vasoconstriction, cellular proliferation inflammation, vascular remodeling, abnormalities in the lung matrix, and in situ thrombosis. Nitric oxide (NO) produced by NO synthases (NOS) is a potent v...
RATIONALE An increase in cytosolic free Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](cyt)) in pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells (PASMC) is a major trigger for pulmonary vasoconstriction and an important stimulus for PASMC proliferation and pulmonary vascular remodeling. The dihydropyridine Ca(2+) channel blockers, such as nifedipine, have been used for treatment of idiopathic pulmonary arterial hyperten...
onnective tissue disease (CTD)-associated pulmonary arterial hypertension (CPAH) is the second most prevalent type of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) after idiopathic PAH (IPAH). CPAH is estimated to account for 30% of all adult cases of PAH. Approximately 15% of mixed CTD (MCTD), 10% of systemic sclerosis (SSc), and several percent of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients develop P...
