Project Summary/Abstract Obesity is a pressing medical need: it affects one-third of adults in the US, and more than 80% of people with diabetes mellitus are overweight or obese. In animal models, multiple obesity-related pathways lead to pulmonary hypertension (PH), including insulin resistance, inflammation, oxidative stress, and adipokine signaling. Few studies have examined the association of metabolic dysfunction and PH in humans. We postulate that obesity-related metabolic disease leads to pulmonary vascular dysfunction, and may represent an early phenotype in the transition to heart failure. It is recognized that metabolic disease leads to endothelial dysfunction; when localized to the pulmonary circulation, pulmonary endothelial dysfunction is an integral driver of the pathobiology of PH. We hypothesize that metabolic disease may lead to pulmonary artery endothelial cell (PAEC) dysfunction as a driver of PH. We propose to study 250 obese non-diabetic individuals with exertional dyspnea. To gain further insights into underlying mechanisms of obesity-related PH, we will pursue three related lines of investigation: In Aim 1, we will investigate the association of metabolic disease and pulmonary artery endothelial cell (PAEC) phenotype with pulmonary hemodynamics in human subjects. Using a novel technique to isolate fresh human PAECs at the time of right heart catheterization, we will profile PAEC phenotypes including endothelial insulin signaling (insulin-mediated endothelial nitric oxide synthase phosphorylation) and adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase activation. In Aim 2, we will study the dynamic pulmonary vascular responses to cardiopulmonary exercise testing in metabolic disease. Pulmonary vascular function will be precisely characterized at rest and during cycle ergometry exercise testing with simultaneous hemodynamic monitoring in order to evaluate multi-point pulmonary artery pressure-cardiac output relationships and pre- and post-capillary components of PH. In Aim 3, we will conduct a randomized intervention study, to examine the effect of metformin versus placebo on pulmonary vascular function and PAEC phenotype in obese individuals. This proposal leverages a unique multidisciplinary team of collaborators with expertise in cardiovascular and metabolic disease, endothelial biology, PH, exercise physiology, endocrinology, and biostatistics. These studies have the potential to provide important insights into mechanisms driving PH in metabolic disease, and will lay the foundation for future studies focused on disease prevention and optimal therapies in obesity-related cardiovascular disease.

项目摘要/摘要 肥胖是一种紧迫的医疗需求：它影响了美国三分之一的成年人，超过80％的人 糖尿病超重或肥胖。在动物模型中，多个与肥胖相关的途径导致 肺动脉高压（pH），包括胰岛素抵抗，炎症，氧化应激和脂肪因子 信号。很少有研究检查了人类代谢功能障碍和pH的关联。我们 假设肥胖相关的代谢疾病会导致肺血管功能障碍，并可能代表 过渡到心力衰竭的早期表型。认识到代谢疾病会导致内皮 功能障碍；当定位于肺部循环时，肺部内皮功能障碍是积分驱动器 PH的病理生物学。我们假设代谢性疾病可能导致肺部动脉内皮 细胞（PAEC）功能障碍作为pH的驱动器。我们建议研究250个肥胖的非糖尿病患者 劳累呼吸困难。为了进一步了解与肥胖相关pH的潜在机制，我们将追求 三个相关的调查线：在AIM 1中，我们将研究代谢疾病和 肺动脉内皮细胞（PAEC）表型在人类受试者中具有肺血流动力学。使用 在右心导管插入时，一种新的技术，可以分离新鲜的人类PAEC，我们将介绍PAEC 表型包括内皮胰岛素信号传导（胰岛素介导的内皮一氧化氮合酶 磷酸化）和腺苷单磷酸激活的蛋白激酶激活。在AIM 2中，我们将研究 对代谢疾病中心肺运动测试的动态肺血管反应。肺 血管功能将在静止和周期测试期间精确表征 同时进行血液动力学监测，以评估多点肺动脉压力心脏 pH的输出关系以及前后毛细血管成分。在AIM 3中，我们将进行随机的 干预研究，检查二甲双胍与安慰剂对肺血管功能的影响 肥胖个体中的PAEC表型。该提案利用了一个独特的合作者多学科团队 具有心血管和代谢疾病的专业知识，内皮生物学，pH，运动生理学， 内分泌学和生物统计学。这些研究有潜力为您提供重要的见解 在代谢疾病中推动pH的机制，并将为未来的研究奠定基础 与肥胖相关心血管疾病的预防和最佳疗法。
