项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Pulmonary hypertension develops in patients with alveolar hypoxia arising from chronic lung diseases or high altitude exposure. These diseases affect large numbers of patients, and hypoxia-induced pulmonary vascular remodeling is the most common cause of pulmonary hypertension (PH). We propose that remodeling is triggered by mitochondrial O2 sensors that initiate redox signaling in vascular smooth muscle, thereby promoting cell contraction, growth and proliferation. Our previous work implicates mitochondria as a source of reactive oxygen species (ROS) signals that activate functional responses to acute hypoxia in pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PASMC). We now propose to test whether these signals also drive vascular remodeling and metabolic reprogramming in PASMC, leading to PH during chronic hypoxia. The role of ROS in PH has been highly controversial, so these studies are critically important for clarifying this issue. Chronic hypoxia activates redox signaling and induces Hypoxia-Inducible Factors (HIF-1 and HIF-2) in pulmonary vascular cells. This promotes metabolic reprogramming toward glycolysis and away from mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation. We will test whether this reprogramming promotes vascular remodeling and PH. Hypoxia and ROS also activate AMP- dependent Protein Kinase (AMPK), a cellular energy sensor that activates catabolic pathways and inhibits anabolic metabolism, potentially opposing the remodeling response. We will determine whether AMPK activation can limit the growth, proliferation and metabolic reprogramming of PASMC, thereby opposing the development of PH. To achieve these aims we have assembled a powerful set of tools to quantify and modify redox signaling and metabolic pathways, which will be applied in genetic mouse models of PH and in pulmonary vascular cells from patients with pulmonary hypertension. These studies will provide novel insight into the mechanisms regulating the remodeling and PH arising in response to chronic hypoxia, and will identify potential therapeutic targets for the treatment of hypoxia-associated PH in humans.

描述（由申请人提供）：肺动脉低下的患者肺部高血压会出现，导致慢性肺部疾病或高海拔暴露。这些疾病会影响大量患者，缺氧诱导的肺血管重塑是肺动脉高压（pH）的最常见原因。我们提出，重塑是由线粒体O2传感器触发的，该传感器启动血管平滑肌中的氧化还原信号传导，从而促进细胞收缩，生长和增殖。我们以前的工作暗示线粒体是激活肺动脉平滑肌细胞（PASMC）中对急性缺氧的功能反应的活性氧信号（ROS）信号的来源。现在，我们建议测试这些信号是否还驱动PASMC中的血管重塑和代谢重编程，从而导致慢性缺氧期间的pH值。 ROS在pH中的作用一直引起极大争议，因此这些研究对于阐明此问题至关重要。慢性缺氧激活氧化还原信号传导，并在肺血管细胞中诱导低氧诱导因子（HIF-1和HIF-2）。这促进了对糖酵解的代谢重编程，并远离线粒体氧化磷酸化。我们将测试此重编程是否促进血管重塑和pH。缺氧和ROS还激活了AMP依赖性蛋白激酶（AMPK），这是一种细胞能量传感器，可激活分解代谢途径并抑制合成代谢代谢，并有可能相反的重塑反应。我们将确定AMPK激活是否可以限制PASMC的生长，增殖和代谢重编程，从而反对pH的发展。为了实现这些目标，我们组装了一组强大的工具来量化和修改氧化还原信号传导和代谢途径，这些工具将应用于pH的遗传小鼠模型和肺动脉高压患者的肺血管细胞中。这些研究将提供有关调节慢性缺氧重塑和pH的机制的新见解，并将确定治疗与人类缺氧相关的pH值的潜在治疗靶标。
