Fra-2 transgenic mice as a novel model of pulmonary hypertension associated with systemic sclerosis.
OBJECTIVE Systemic sclerosis-associated pulmonary arterial hypertension differs from idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension with respect to histopathology, treatment responses and survival. Medical progress on PAH is hampered by the lack of human biosamples and suitable animal models. In this study, the authors evaluated fos-related antigen 2 (Fra-2) transgenic mice as a novel model for sys...
متن کاملPulmonary arterial hypertension in limited cutaneous systemic sclerosis: a distinctive vasculopathy.
Systemic sclerosis-associated pulmonary arterial hypertension (SScPAH) has a worse prognosis and response to pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) therapy than idiopathic PAH (IPAH). These differences have not yet been explained. Knowledge concerning histological pulmonary vasculopathy in SScPAH is limited in contrast to IPAH. Therefore, we explored patterns of vasculopathy in SScPAH compared w...
متن کاملCharacteristics of Interstitial Fibrosis and Inflammatory Cell Infiltration in Right Ventricles of Systemic Sclerosis-Associated Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension
Objective. Systemic sclerosis-associated pulmonary arterial hypertension (SScPAH) has a disturbed function of the right ventricle (RV) when compared to idiopathic PAH (IPAH). Systemic sclerosis may also affect the heart. We hypothesize that RV differences may occur at the level of interstitial inflammation and-fibrosis and compared inflammatory cell infiltrate and fibrosis between the RV of SSc...
متن کاملCirculating Tissue Inhibitor of Matrix Metalloproteinase-4 (TIMP-4) in Systemic Sclerosis Patients with Elevated Pulmonary Arterial Pressure
Decreased levels of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) or excess levels of their tissue inhibitors (TIMPs) may contribute to dysregulation of extracellular matrix turnover in systemic sclerosis (SSc). In a cross-sectional study of 106 SSc patients, we measured serum levels of TIMP-4 which is preferentially expressed in cardiovascular structures and searched for correlations with simultaneously pe...
متن کاملConnective tissue disease-associated pulmonary arterial hypertension: "Beijing style".
Patients with connective tissue disease (CTD)-associated pulmonary arterial hypertension (APAH) experience poorer outcomes than those with idiopathic PAH (IPAH) [1–6]. In the USA, patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc) are most commonly affected by CTD-APAH and have the worst survival [1]. Similarly, 74% of a large cohort with CTD-APAH in the UK had SSc, and these patients had poorer survival t...
