Long-term infusion of prostacyclin, or its analogs, is an effective treatment for severe pulmonary arterial hypertension. However, dose escalation is often required to maintain efficacy. The aim of this study was to investigate the mechanisms of pros

Background Mutations in the type II receptor for bone morphogenetic protein (BMPR-II), a receptor member of the transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) superfamily, underlie many cases of familial and sporadic primary pulmonary hypertension (PPH). We

Activation of adenylyl cyclase (AC), of which there are 10 diversely regulated isoforms, is important in regulating pulmonary vascular tone and remodeling. Immunohistochemistry in rat lungs demonstrated that AC2, AC3, and AC5/6 predominated in vascul

Pulmonary hypertension is characterized by hypertrophy and hyperplasia of vascular smooth muscle occurring via an unknown mechanism. Cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) are expressed under inflammatory conditions and pro

1. 8-Iso prostaglandin F2 alpha (8-iso PGF2 alpha) is one of a series of prostanoids formed independently of the cyclo-oxygenase pathway. It has been shown to be upregulated in many conditions of oxidant stress where its formation is induced by free

The isoprostanes are a group of biologically active arachidonic acid metabolites initially thought to be formed under conditions of oxidative stress and independently of cyclooxygenase. However, recent studies have demonstrated isoprostane production

Isoprostanes are prostaglandin (PG)-like compounds initially described as formed by a direct action of radicals on arachidonic acid. However, the isoprostane 8-iso PGF2 alpha, is released by platelets and monocytes by cyclo-oxygenase dependent pathwa

Objective : Sepsis is characterized by systemic vasodilation and hyporesponsiveness to constrictor agents, at a time when the pulmonary circulation exhibits varying degrees of vasoconstriction. Plasma endothelin-1 concentrations are increased, but th
