FK506 activates BMPR2, rescues endothelial dysfunction, and reverses pulmonary hypertension.
Dysfunctional bone morphogenetic protein receptor-2 (BMPR2) signaling is implicated in the pathogenesis of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). We used a transcriptional high-throughput luciferase reporter assay to screen 3,756 FDA-approved drugs and bioactive compounds for induction of BMPR2 signaling. The best response was achieved with FK506 (tacrolimus), via a dual mechanism of action as ...
متن کاملFunctional Changes in Pulmonary Arterial Endothelial Cells Associated with BMPR2 Mutations
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a devastating disease characterized by abnormal remodeling of small, peripheral pulmonary arteries. Germline mutations in the bone morphogenetic protein receptor type 2 (BMPR2) gene are a major risk factor for developing PAH. At present, the correlation between the BMPR2 mutation and the patient's prognosis remains controversial despite several investiga...
متن کاملDysfunctional BMPR2 signaling drives an abnormal endothelial requirement for glutamine in pulmonary arterial hypertension
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is increasingly recognized as a systemic disease driven by alteration in the normal functioning of multiple metabolic pathways affecting all of the major carbon substrates, including amino acids. We found that human pulmonary hypertension patients (WHO Group I, PAH) exhibit systemic and pulmonary-specific alterations in glutamine metabolism, with the diseas...
متن کاملInflammation, endothelial injury, and persistent pulmonary hypertension in heterozygous BMPR2-mutant mice.
Heterozygous bone morphogenetic protein receptor-II-knockout (BMPR2(+/-)) mice have a similar genetic trait like that in some idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension patients. To examine the effect of pulmonary endothelial injury in BMPR2(+/-) mice, we challenged the mice with two injections of monocrotaline combined with intratracheal instillation of replication-deficient adenovirus express...
متن کاملIncreased susceptibility to hypoxic pulmonary hypertension in Bmpr2 mutant mice is associated with endothelial dysfunction in the pulmonary vasculature.
Patients with familial pulmonary arterial hypertension inherit heterozygous mutations of the type 2 bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) receptor BMPR2. To explore the cellular mechanisms of this disease, we evaluated the pulmonary vascular responses to chronic hypoxia in mice carrying heterozygous hypomorphic Bmpr2 mutations (Bmpr2 delta Ex2/+). These mice develop more severe pulmonary hypertensio...
