چکیده

objective(s): the present study was aimed to investigate the influence of thoracic epidural blockade on hypoxia-induced pulmonary hypertension in rats. materials and methods: forty eight wistar rats were randomly divided into 4 equal groups, named normoxia hypoxia hypoxia/ ropivacaine and hypoxia/saline. animals were placed in a hypoxia chamber and instrumented with epidural catheters at the thoracic level. rats were injected with saline or ropivacaine. haemodynamic measurements included pulmonary artery pressure and right ventricular hypertrophy. degree of pulmonary vascular remodeling was determined by hematoxylin and eosin (he) staining. serum cyclic gmp (cgmp) and tnf-α were measured using radioimmuno assay. real-time pcr and western boltting were employed to examine the expression of camp responding-element binding protein (creb). results: we found that the thoracic epidural blockade significantly decreased chronic hypoxia-induced pulmonary hypertension and vascular remodeling in rats. ropivacaine-treated rats exhibited significantly lower mean pulmonary artery pressure (mpap), ratio of right ventricular weight to left ventricular plus septal weight (rv/(lv+s)) and wall thickness of pulmonary artery compared with those of control rats. hypoxia-induced increase in levels of serum cgmp and tnf-α was reversed by thoracic epidural blockade. moreover, hypoxia increased expression of creb at mrna and protein levels which could be suppressed by thoracic epidural blockade. conclusion:thoracic epidural blockade reduced mpap and serum level of tnf-α and increased cgmp. the treatment reversed upregulated expression of creb at mrna and protein production.

Chronic intermittent hypobaric hypoxia attenuates monocrotaline-induced pulmonary arterial hypertension via modulating inflammation and suppressing NF-κB /p38 pathway

Objective(s): Inflammation is involved in various forms of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Although the pathophysiology of PAH remains uncertain, NF-κB and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38 MAPK) has been reportedto be associated with many inflammatory mediators of PAH. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of chronic intermittent hypobaric hypoxia (CIHH) on pulmonary inflammat...

The purpose of this investigation was to assess the effect of captopril on both systemic (P.a) and pulmonary arterial pressures (PPA) in patients with high-altitude pulmonary hypertension (HAPH). Seventeen patients (mean age 44±6.8 years) with HAPH and mild to moderate systemic arterial hypertension were included in the study. All patients underwent right heart catheterization with measurem...

Effect of chemokine receptor CXCR4 on hypoxia-induced pulmonary hypertension and vascular remodeling in rats

BACKGROUND CXCR4 is the receptor for chemokine CXCL12 and reportedly plays an important role in systemic vascular repair and remodeling, but the role of CXCR4 in development of pulmonary hypertension and vascular remodeling has not been fully understood. METHODS In this study we investigated the role of CXCR4 in the development of pulmonary hypertension and vascular remodeling by using a CXCR...
