BACKGROUND Severe pulmonary hypertension is a disabling disease with high mortality, characterized by pulmonary vascular remodeling and right heart hypertrophy. Using wild-type and homozygous endothelial nitric oxide synthase (NOS3(-/-)) knockout mice with pulmonary hypertension induced by chronic hypoxia and rats with monocrotaline-induced pulmonary hypertension, we examined whether the solubl...
BACKGROUND We hypothesised that the potential protective effects of endothelial ET(B) are important in limiting pulmonary vascular muscularisation, vasoconstriction and the development of pulmonary arterial hypertension in response to hypoxia. METHODS EC-specific ET(B) knockout mice (EC ET(B)(-/-)) and control mice (ET(B)(f/f)) were subjected to hypobaric hypoxic (10% FiO2) or normoxic condit...
Chronic hypoxia results in pulmonary hypertension. To investigate the role of Na+/H+ exchange in this process, we determined the effect of amiloride, a Na+/H+ exchange inhibitor, on hypoxic pulmonary hypertension and pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cell proliferation, both in vivo and in vitro. Sprague-Dawley rats were placed either in a hypobaric, hypoxic chamber (10.5% 02) or under normal 21...
BACKGROUND The physiological challenges posed by hypobaric hypoxia warrant exploration of pharmacological entities to improve acclimatization to hypoxia. The present study investigates the preclinical efficacy of sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) to improve acclimatization to simulated hypobaric hypoxia. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH Efficacy of intravenously administered S1P in improving haematological ...
Histological and electron microscopic studies over the past four decades have highlighted "plump," "enlarged" endothelial, smooth muscle, and fibroblastic cellular elements with increased endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi stacks, and vacuolation in pulmonary arterial lesions in human and in experimental (hypoxia and monocrotaline) pulmonary arterial hypertension. However, the contribution of disrupt...
Hypoxia stimulates excessive growth of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) contributing to vascular remodelling. Recent studies have shown that histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDIs) suppress VSMC proliferation and activate eNOS expression. However, the effects of HDI on hypoxia-induced VSMC growth and the role of activated eNOS in VSMCs are unclear. Using an EdU incorporation assay and flow cy...
Hypobaric hypoxia induces right ventricular hypertrophy. The relative contribution of pulmonary hypertension, decreased arterial oxygen, and neuroendocrine stimulation to the transcriptional profile of hypoxia-induced right ventricular hypertrophy is unknown. Whereas both ventricles are exposed to hypoxia and neuroendocrine stimulation, only the right ventricle is exposed to increased load. We ...
OBJECTIVES Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a rare and severe disease with incompletely under stood pathogenesis. PAH is associated with pulmonary arterial remodeling and inflammation. We evaluated the effects of Sildenafil on the Monocrotaline (MCT) -induced disease in Wistar rats, for potential benefit in the early phases of inflammation and vascular remodeling. MATERIAL AND METHODS...
Our laboratory has previously shown an attenuation of hypoxic pulmonary hypertension by exercise training (ET) (Henderson KK, Clancy RL, and Gonzalez NC. J Appl Physiol 90: 2057-2062, 2001), although the mechanism was not determined. The present study examined the effect of ET on the pulmonary arterial pressure (Pap) response of rats to short- and long-term hypoxia. After 3 wk of treadmill trai...
The effects of hypoxia on pulmonary arterial pressure (PAP) and on development of pulmonary edema, ascertained by changes in lung water and pulmonary vascular permeability were studied in rats using bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL). Rats were exposed to hypobaric hypoxia (P(B) = 290 Torr) for 24 h followed by 4 h of normobaric hypoxia (F(IO)2 0.07) (Hx). Controls were rats maintained in a normoxia ...
