Reversal of Hypoxic Pulmonary Hypertension by Hypoxia-Inducible Overexpression of Angiotensin-(1-7) in Pulmonary Endothelial Cells
Hypoxia-induced pulmonary vascular constriction and structure remodeling are the main causes of hypoxic pulmonary hypertension. In the present study, an adeno-associated virus vector, containing Tie2 promoter and hypoxia response elements, was designed and named HTSFcAng(1-7). Its targeting, hypoxic...

description | Hypoxia-induced pulmonary vascular constriction and structure remodeling are the main causes of hypoxic pulmonary hypertension. In the present study, an adeno-associated virus vector, containing Tie2 promoter and hypoxia response elements, was designed and named HTSFcAng(1-7). Its targeting, hypoxic inducibility, and vascular relaxation were examined in vitro, and its therapeutic effects on hypobaric hypoxia-induced pulmonary hypertension were examined in rats. Transfection of HTSFcAng(1-7) specifically increased the expression of angiotensin-(1-7) in endothelial cells in normoxia. Hypoxia increased the expression of angiotensin-(1-7) in HTSFcAng(1-7)-transfected endothelial cells. The condition medium from HTSFcAng(1-7)-transfected endothelial cells inhibited the hypoxia-induced proliferation of pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells, relaxed the pulmonary artery rings, totally inhibited hypoxia-induced early contraction, enhanced maximum relaxation, and reversed phase II constriction to sustained relaxation. In hypoxic pulmonary hypertension rats, treatment with HTSFcAng(1-7) by nasal drip adeno-associated virus significantly reversed hypoxia-induced hemodynamic changes and pulmonary artery-wall remodeling, accompanied by the concomitant overexpression of angiotensin-(1-7), mainly in the endothelial cells in the lung. Therefore, hypoxia-inducible overexpression of angiotensin-(1-7) in pulmonary endothelial cells may be a potential strategy for the gene therapy of hypoxic pulmonary hypertension. |
