Osteopontin lung gene expression is a marker of disease severity in pulmonary arterial hypertension

Respirology (Carlton South. Print), 2019
Osteopontin (OPN) is a pleiotropic cytokine involved in the proliferation of pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PA‐SMC). OPN is upregulated in the lungs of patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH) associated with pulmonary fibrosis, suggesting that ...

Metabolic alterations in human pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells treated with PDGF‐BB

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Metabolic abnormalities are considered to play a key regulatory role in vascular remodeling of pulmonary arterial hypertension. We analyzed the metabolome in the culture supernatants of human pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PASMC) during the malignant proliferation phenotype transition via a targeted metabolomics method. Significant and extensive

Management of Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension

Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2015
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is common and may result from a number of disorders, including left heart disease, lung disease, and chronic thromboembolic disease. Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is an uncommon disease characterized by progressive remodeling of the distal pulmonary arteries, resulting in elevated pulmonary vascular resistance and ...

Noradrenergic and cholinergic innervation of the normal human heart and changes associated with cardiomyopathy

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Autonomic nerves are crucial in cardiac function and pathology. However, data on the distribution of cholinergic and noradrenergic nerves in normal and pathologic human hearts is lacking. Nonfailing donor hearts were pressure‐perfusion fixed, imaged, and dissected. Left ventricular cardiomyopathy samples were also obtained.

Transmembrane protein 16A/anoctamin 1 inhibitor T16A-A01 reversed monocrotaline-induced rat pulmonary arterial hypertension

Pulmonary Circulation, 2020
Transmembrane protein 16A was involved in the development of the monocrotaline-induced pulmonary arterial hypertension model through ERK1/2 activation, and it was considered as potential target for pulmonary arterial hypertension treatment.

A potential therapeutic role for angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 in human pulmonary arterial hypertension

European Respiratory Journal, 2018
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a deadly disease with no cure. Alternate conversion of angiotensin II (AngII) to angiotensin-(1–7) (Ang-(1–7)) by angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) resulting in Mas receptor (Mas1) activation improves rodent ...

Absence of Functional Autoantibodies Targeting Angiotensin II Receptor Type 1 and Endothelin‐1 Type A Receptor in Circulation and Purified IgG From Patients With Systemic Sclerosis

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a rare but severe autoimmune disease characterized by immune dysregulation, fibrosis, and vasculopathy. Although previous studies have highlighted the presence of functional autoantibodies targeting the angiotensin II receptor type 1 (AT1) and endothelin‐1 type A receptor (ETAR), leading to autoantibody‐mediated ...
