In an effort to begin to understand cell signaling pathways which are altered in lungs from HIV transgenic rats, we used microarray analysis. n=3 samples of lung tissue from 3 month old male HIV transgenic rat and n=3 samples of lung tissue from 3 month oldmale F344 (control) rat

Project description:Pulmonary hypertension is a frequent consequence of left heart disease and congestive heart failure (CHF) and causes extensive lung vascular remodelling which leads to right ventricular failure. Functional genomics underlying this structural remodelling are unknown but present potential targets for novel therapeutic strategies. We used microarrays to detail the gene expression underlying vascular remodeling in the pathogenesis of pulmonary hypertension and identified distinct classes of up-regulated genes during this process. Control rat lung samples were compared to samples of aortic banding rat lungs which exhibit pulmonary hypertension

Project description:Right heart failure results from advanced pulmonary hypertension (PH) and has a poor prognosis. There are few available treatments for right heart failure. Pulmonary artery remodeling, including changes in pulmonary artery endothelial cells to endothelial-mesenchymal cells, and aberrant fibroblast and pulmonary artery smooth muscle cell (PASMC) proliferation, are characteristics of the pathophysiological process of PH. As a result, the clinical situation requires novel PH diagnostic and treatment targets.

Project description:Right ventricular failure (RVF) due to pressure load is a major cause of death in congenital heart diseases and pulmonary hypertension. The mechanisms of RVF are yet unknown. Research is hampered by the lack of a good RVF model. Our aim was to study the pathophysiology of RVF in a rat model of chronic pressure load. Wistar rats (n=19) were subjected to pulmonary artery banding (PAB, 1.1mm) or sham surgery (CON). All PAB rats developed RVF (reduced cardiac output, RV stroke volume, TAPSE, increased end diastolic pressure, all p<0.05 vs. CON) but clinical symptoms of RVF (inactivity, ruffled fur, dyspnea, ascites) necessitating termination ensued in a subset (5/12) of rats (RVF+) after a period of 52±5 days. Rats with RVF+ had significantly worse RV function and pericardial effusion and liver congestion compared to RVF rats without symptoms (all p<0.05), despite similar pressure load (p=NS RVF vs. RVF+). Chronic pulmonary artery banding invariably leads to RV failure in rats, and a subset transitions to advanced clinical RVF. RVF is characterized by enhanced contractility, progressive diastolic dysfunction and derangement of energy metabolism, thus improving diastolic function and targeting RV metabolism may be the keys to treating RVF.

Project description:Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a debilitating progressive disease characterized by high blood pressure in the pulmonary artery. Chrysin (5,7-dihydroxyflavone) is a phytochemical, which is a flavonoid widely present in plant sources. It is known that right ventricular dysfunction is the worst mortality predictor in patient with PAH. Recent studies have shown that chrysin improves hemodynamic parameters including right ventricular pressure, right ventricular hypertrophy, and pulmonary vascular remodeling in a rat model of chronic hypoxia-induced pulmonary hypertension. On the other hand, trimetazidine (TMZ) is an anti-ischemic agent widely used in the treatment of coronary artery disease. It has been reported that trimetazidine therapy for 3 months on top of standard PAH regime significantly improve right ventricular ejection fraction and functional capacity in patient with PAH. However, the effects of chrysin or trimetazidine on gene expression in lung of patient with PAH. Here, we performed that a comprehensive analysis of gene expression changes in lung tissues of sugen-received rats under hypoxic conditions, which is a model of PAH with chrysin or trimetazidine treatment using RNA sequencing (RNA-seq).

Project description:Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a fatal disease characterized by a progressive increase in pulmonary artery pressure caused by pathological pulmonary artery remodeling. Here, we show that endothelial cell (EC) senescence plays a negative role in pulmonary hypertension via juxtacrine interaction with smooth muscle cells (SMCs). By using EC-specific progeroid mice that we recently generated, we discovered that EC progeria deteriorated vascular remodeling in the lungs, and exacerbated pulmonary hypertension in mice exposed to chronic hypoxia. Mechanistically, senescent ECs overexpressed Notch ligands, which resulted in increased Notch signaling and activated proliferation and migration capacities in neighboring SMCs. Pharmacological inhibition of Notch signaling reduced the effects of senescent ECs on SMCs functions in vitro, and improved the worsened pulmonary hypertension in EC-specific progeroid mice in vivo. Our findings show that EC senescence is a critical disease-modifying factor in PAH and that EC-mediated Notch signaling is a pharmacotherapeutic target for the treatment of PAH, particularly in the elderly.

Project description:Rationale: Pulmonary arterial hypertension is a common and potentially fatal complication of scleroderma that may involve inflammatory and autoimmune mechanisms. Alterations in the gene expression of peripheral blood mononuclear cells have been previously described in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension. The ability to identify patients at risk for developing pulmonary hypertension would be clinically beneficial. Objective: To identify genes that are differentially expressed in peripheral blood mononuclear cells in scleroderma patients with and without pulmonary hypertension which could be used as biomarkers of disease for early diagnosis and provide insight into pathogenesis of pulmonary hypertension in at-risk populations. Methods and Results: Gene expression analysis was performed on a carefully characterized Microarray Cohort of scleroderma patients with (n=10) and without (n=10) pulmonary hypertension. Differentially expressed genes were confirmed in the Microarray Cohort and validated in a separate Validation Cohort of scleroderma patients with (n=15) and without (n=19) pulmonary hypertension by RT-qPCR. We identified inflammatory and immune-related genes including interleukin-7 receptor (IL-7R) and chemokine receptor 7 (CCR7) as differentially expressed in patients with scleroderma-associated pulmonary hypertension. Flow cytometry confirmed decreased expression of IL-7R on circulating CD4+ T cells from scleroderma patients with pulmonary hypertension. Conclusions: Differences exist in the expression of inflammatory and immune-related genes in peripheral blood cells derived from patients with scleroderma-related pulmonary hypertension compared to those with normal pulmonary artery pressures. These findings may have implications as biomarkers to screen at-risk populations to facilitate early diagnosis and provide insight into inflammatory and autoimmune mechanisms of scleroderma-related pulmonary hypertension. Gene expression analysis was performed on a carefully characterized Microarray Cohort of scleroderma patients with (n=10) and without (n=10) pulmonary hypertension. Differentially expressed genes were confirmed in the Microarray Cohort by RT-qPCR.
