Abstract Whether all Schistosoma species cause pulmonary hypertension (PH) is unclear. Experimentally exposing mice to Schistosoma haematobium eggs caused PH, which was less severe than that induced by S. mansoni exposure. These findings align with t

Abstract Right ventricular (RV) failure is the primary cause of death in pulmonary hypertension (PH), but the mechanisms of RV failure are not well understood. We hypothesized macrophages in the RV contribute to the RV response in PH. We induced PH i

Abstract Schistosomiasis is a major cause of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) worldwide, but the prevalence and risk factors for schistosomiasis‐associated PAH (SchPAH) development are not well understood. Schistosomiasis‐associated hepatosp

BackgroundSchistosomiasis, a major cause of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) worldwide, is most clearly described complicating infection by one species, Schistosoma mansoni. Controlled exposure of mice can be used to induce Type 2 inflammation-d

Background: Pulmonary hypertension (PH) can occur as a complication of schistosomiasis. In humans, schistosomiasis-PH persists despite antihelminthic therapy and parasite eradication. We hypothesized that persistent disease arises as a consequence of

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a disease of the lung blood vessels that results in right heart failure. PAH is thought to occur in about 5% to 10% of patients with hepatosplenic schistosomiasis, particularly due to S. mansoni. The lung bloo

Thrombospondin-1 (TSP-1) activates latent TGF-β in the extracellular matrix. Here the authors show that inappropriate activation of latent TGF-β in murine, bovine and human lung by monocyte-produced TSP-1 causes pulmonary hypertension, and that int

Abstract: Accumulating evidence shows a causative role for the bone marrow (BM) in the genesis and progression of pulmonary hypertension (PH). Engraftment of BM hematopoietic stem cells from PH patients to mice reproduces the cardiopulmonary patholog

Dysregulated metabolism characterizes both animal and human forms of pulmonary hypertension (PH). Enzymes involved in fatty acid metabolism have previously not been assessed in human pulmonary arteries affected by pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH
