Abstract
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a rare and deadly disease affecting roughly 15-60 people per million in Europe with a poorly understood pathology. There are currently no diagnostic tools for early detection nor does a curative treatment exist. The lipid composition of arteries in lung tissue samples from human PAH and control patients were investigated using matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization (MALDI) imaging mass spectrometry (IMS) combined with time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (TOF-SIMS) imaging. Using random forests as an IMS data analysis technique, it was possible to identify the ion at m/z 885.6 as a marker of PAH in human lung tissue. The m/z 885.6 ion intensity was shown to be significantly higher around diseased arteries and was confirmed to be a diacylglycerophosphoinositol PI(C18:0/C20:4) via MS/MS using a novel hybrid SIMS instrument. The discovery of a potential biomarker opens up new research avenues which may finally lead to a better understanding of the PAH pathology and highlights the vital role IMS can play in modern biomedical research.

Abstract
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a rare but fatal disease characterized by vascular cell proliferation; the pathogenesis of PAH has yet to be fully elucidated. Publicly available genetic data were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database, and gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) was used to determine significant differences in gene expression between tissues with PAH and healthy lung tissues. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified using the online tool, GEO2R, and functional annotation of DEGs was performed using Gene Ontology (GO) and the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis. Next, the construction and module analysis of the protein–protein interaction (PPI) network and verification of the expression level of hub genes was performed. Finally, prediction and enrichment analysis of microRNAs associated with the hub genes was carried out. A total of 110 DEGs were detected by screening PAH and healthy lung samples. The expression of nine genes [polo-like kinase 4 (PLK4), centromere protein U, kinesin family member 20B, structural maintenance of chromosome 2 (SMC2), abnormal spindle microtubule assembly, Fanconi Anemia complementation group I, kinesin family member 18A, spindle apparatus coiled-coil protein 1, and MIS18 binding protein 1] was elevated in PAH; this was statistically significant compared with their expression in healthy lung tissue, and they were identified as hub genes. GO and KEGG analysis showed that the variations in DEGs were abundant in DNA-templated transcription, sister chromatid cohesion, mitotic nuclear division, cell proliferation, and regulation of the actin cytoskeleton. In conclusion, this study has successfully identified hub genes and key pathways of PAH, with a total of 110 DEGs and nine hub genes related to PAH, especially the PLK4 and SMC2 genes, thus providing important clues for the in-depth understanding of the molecular mechanism of PAH and providing potential therapeutic targets.

Abstract
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a severe and progressive disease characterized by increased pulmonary vascular resistance leading to right heart failure and death. In PH, the cellular metabolisms including those of the three major nutrients (carbohydrate, lipid and protein) are aberrant in pulmonary vascular cells. Glucose uptake, glycolysis, insulin resistance, sphingolipid S1P, PGE2, TXA2, leukotrienes and glutaminolysis are upregulated, and phospholipid-prostacyclin and L-arginine-nitric oxide pathway are compromised in lung vascular cells. Fatty acid metabolism is disordered in lung endothelial cells and smooth muscle cells. These molecular mechanisms are integrated to promote PH-specific abnormal vascular cell proliferation and vascular remodeling. This review summarizes the recent advances in the metabolic reprogramming of glucose, fatty acid, and amino acid metabolism in pulmonary vascular remodeling in PH and the mechanisms for how these alterations affect vascular cell fate and impact the course of PH.

Abstract
A new study by Yang and colleagues has revealed that TNF-alpha regulates PANX1 levels through an NF-kB-dependent mechanism in human endothelial cells. PANX1 modulates Ca2+ influx contributing to IL-1beta production independent of purinergic signaling. These novel findings expand our understanding of TNF-alpha-mediated upregulation of IL-1beta with implications for responses to tissue injury and infection.

Abstract
Monosodium glutamate (MSG) is widely used as food additive and flavor enhancer; however, consumption of high dose of MSG provokes oxidative stress in many organs and its safety and side effects on the body are still controversial. Therefore, it is crucial to investigate the long-lasting effects of MSG on cardiac muscle functions and structure. Forty male Wister albino rats were assigned into 3 groups. Control group was injected intraperitoneally with physiological saline for 7 days. Second group was injected intraperitoneally with MSG at a dose of 4 mg/g b.w/day for 7 consecutive days and then kept without any treatment till 45th day of the experiment. Third group was injected intraperitoneally with MSG at a dose of 6 mg/g b.w/day for 7 consecutive days and then kept without any treatment till 45th day of the experiment. Monosodium glutamate significantly reduced body weight, force of cardiac muscle contractility, serum level of high-density lipoprotein, and superoxide dismutase activity in cardiac muscle, while it significantly elevated heart rate, serum levels of total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein, triacylglycerides, atherogenic index and troponin T, activities of serum lactate dehydrogenase and creatine kinase-MB, malondialdehyde concentration, and P53 protein expression in cardiac muscle. In addition, it induced myocardial degeneration, cellular infiltration, deposition of collagen in cardiac muscle, and periodic acid-Schiff staining reaction. This study indicated that MSG exerted long-lasting functional and structural alterations in the heart of male albino rats through induction of oxidative stress, atherogenesis, and apoptosis.

Abstract
This article reviews the scientific reasons that support the intriguing vision of pulmonary hypertension (PH) as a disease with a cancer-like nature and to understand whether this point of view may have fruitful consequences for the overall management of PH. This review compares cancer and PH in view of Hanahan and Weinberg’s principles (i.e., hallmarks of cancer) with an emphasis on hyperproliferative, metabolic, and immune/inflammatory aspects of the disease. In addition, this review provides a perspective on the role of transcription factors and chromatin and epigenetic aberrations, besides genetics, as “common driving mechanisms” of PH hallmarks and the foreseeable use of transcription factor/epigenome targeting as multitarget approach against the hallmarks of PH. Thus, recognition of the widespread applicability and analogy of these concepts will increasingly affect the development of new means of PH treatment.

Abstract
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) pathogenesis shares similarities with carcinogenesis. One CD44 variant (CD44v) isoform, CD44v8-10, binds to and stabilizes the cystine transporter subunit (xCT), producing reduced glutathione and thereby enhancing the antioxidant defense of cancer stem cells. Pharmacological inhibition of xCT by sulfasalazine suppresses tumor growth, survival, and resistance to chemotherapy. We investigated whether the CD44v-xCT axis contributes to PAH pathogenesis. CD44v was predominantly expressed on endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EndMT)-like cells in the neointimal layer of PAH affected pulmonary arterioles. In vitro, CD44 standard form and CD44v were induced as a result of EndMT. Among human pulmonary artery endothelial cells that have undergone EndMT, CD44v+ cells showed high levels of xCT expression on their cell surfaces and high concentrations of glutathione for survival. This made CD44v+ cells the most vulnerable target for sulfasalazine. CD44v+xCThi cells showed the highest expression levels of proinflammatory cytokines, antioxidant enzymes, antiapoptotic molecules, and cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors. In the Sugen5416/hypoxia mouse model, CD44v+ cells were present in the thickened pulmonary vascular wall. The administration of sulfasalazine started either at the same time as "Sugen5416" administration (a prevention model) or after the development of pulmonary hypertension (a reversal model) attenuated the muscularization of the pulmonary vessels, decreased the expression of markers of inflammation, and reduced the right ventricular systolic pressure, while reducing CD44v+ cells. In conclusion, CD44v+xCThi cells appear during EndMT and in pulmonary hypertension tissues. Sulfasalazine is expected to be a novel therapeutic agent for PAH, most likely targeting EndMT-derived CD44v+xCThi cells.

Abstract
Therapeutic options for pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) have increased over the last decades. The advent of pharmacological therapies targeting the prostacyclin, endothelin, and NO pathways has significantly improved outcomes. However, for the vast majority of patients, PAH remains a life-limiting illness with no prospect of cure. PAH is characterised by pulmonary vascular remodelling. Current research focusses on targeting the underlying pathways of aberrant proliferation, migration, and apoptosis. Despite success in preclinical models, using a plethora of novel approaches targeting cellular GPCRs, ion channels, metabolism, epigenetics, growth factor receptors, transcription factors, and inflammation, successful transfer to human disease with positive outcomes in clinical trials is limited. This review provides an overview of novel targets addressed by clinical trials and gives an outlook on novel preclinical perspectives in PAH.

Abstract
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a serious disease characterized by elevated pulmonary artery pressure, inflammatory cell infiltration and pulmonary vascular remodeling. However, little is known about the pathogenic mechanisms underlying the disease onset and progression. RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) was used to identify the transcriptional profiling in control and rats injected with monocrotaline (MCT) for 1, 2, 3 and 4 weeks. A total of 23200 transcripts and 280, 1342, 908 and 3155 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified at the end of week 1, 2, 3 and 4, of which Svop was the common top 10 DEGs over the course of PAH progression. Functional enrichment analysis of DEGs showed inflammatory/immune response occurred in the early stage of PAH development. KEGG pathway enrichment analysis of DEGs showed that cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction and neuroactive ligand-receptor interaction were in the initiation and progression of PAH. Further analysis revealed impaired expression of cholinergic receptors, adrenergic receptors including alpha1, beta1 and beta2 receptor, and dysregulated expression of γ-aminobutyric acid receptors. In summary, the dysregulated inflammation/immunity and neuroactive ligand receptor signaling pathways may be involved in the onset and progression of PAH.

Abstract
Background Transplantation of exosomes derived from mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs-Exo) can improve the recovery of neurological function in rats after traumatic brain injury (TBI). We tested a new hypothesis that brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF)-induced MSCs-Exo can effectively promote functional recovery and neurogenesis in rats after TBI. Material/Methods BM-MSCs of rats were extracted by whole bone marrow culture, BDNF was added to BM-MSCs as an intervention, supernatant was collected, and exosomes were separated and purified by ultracentrifugation. Exosomes were identified by Western blot (WB), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and particle size analysis and were subsequently used in cell and animal experiments. The experimental animals were divided into a sham group, a PBS group, an MSCs-Exo group, and a BDNF-induced MSCs-Exo group (n=12). An electric cortical contusion impactor (eCCI) was used to cause TBI in all rats except the sham group. We investigated the recovery of sensorimotor function and spatial learning ability, inflammation inhibition, and neuron regeneration in rats after TBI. Results Compared with the MSCs-Exo group, the BDNF-induced MSCs-Exo group showed better effects in promoting the recovery of sensorimotor function and spatial learning ability. BDNF-induced MSCs-Exo successfully inhibited inflammation and promoted neuronal regeneration in vivo and in vitro. We further analyzed miRNAs in BDNF-induced MSCs-Exo and MSCs-Exo and found that the expression of miR-216a-5p in BDNF-induced MSCs-Exo was significantly higher than that in MSCs-Exo as determined by qRT-PCR. Rescue experiments indicated that miR-216a-5p had a similar function as BDNF-induced MSCs-Exo. Conclusions We found that BDNF-induced MSCs-Exo can improve cell migration and inhibit apoptosis better than MSCs-Exo in rats after TBI, and the mechanism may be related to the high expression of miR-216a-5p.

Abstract
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is characterized by increased pulmonary artery pressure and vascular resistance, typically leading to right heart failure and death. Current therapies improve quality of life of the patients but have a modest effect on long-term survival. A detailed transcriptomics and systems biology view of the PAH lung is expected to provide new testable hypotheses for exploring novel treatments. We completed transcriptomics analysis of PAH and control lung tissue to develop disease-specific and clinical data/tissue pathology gene expression classifiers from expression datasets. Gene expression data were integrated into pathway analyses. Gene expression microarray data were collected from 58 PAH and 25 control lung tissues. The strength of the dataset and its derived disease classifier was validated using multiple approaches. Pathways and upstream regulators analyses was completed with standard and novel graphical approaches. The PAH lung dataset identified expression patterns specific to PAH subtypes, clinical parameters, and lung pathology variables. Pathway analyses indicate the important global role of TNF and transforming growth factor signaling pathways. In addition, novel upstream regulators and insight into the cellular and innate immune responses driving PAH were identified. Finally, WNT-signaling pathways may be a major determinant underlying the observed sex differences in PAH. This study provides a transcriptional framework for the PAH-diseased lung, supported by previously reported findings, and will be a valuable resource to the PAH research community. Our investigation revealed novel potential targets and pathways amenable to further study in a variety of experimental systems.

Nonionotropic Action of Endothelial NMDA Receptors on Blood-Brain Barrier Permeability via Rho/ROCK-Mediated Phosphorylation of Myosin. J Neurosci 2020; 40:1778-1787.

Abstract
Increase in blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability is a crucial step in neuroinflammatory processes. We previously showed that N Methyl D Aspartate Receptor (NMDARs), expressed on cerebral endothelial cells forming the BBB, regulate immune cell infiltration across this barrier in the mouse. Here, we describe the mechanism responsible for the action of NMDARs on BBB permeabilization. We report that mouse CNS endothelial NMDARs display the regulatory GluN3A subunit. This composition confers to NMDARs' unconventional properties: these receptors do not induce Ca2+ influx but rather show nonionotropic properties. In inflammatory conditions, costimulation of human brain endothelial cells by NMDA agonists (NMDA or glycine) and the serine protease tissue plasminogen activator, previously shown to potentiate NMDAR activity, induces metabotropic signaling via the Rho/ROCK pathway. This pathway leads to an increase in permeability via phosphorylation of myosin light chain and subsequent shrinkage of human brain endothelial cells. Together, these data draw a link between NMDARs and the cytoskeleton in brain endothelial cells that regulates BBB permeability in inflammatory conditions.SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT The authors describe how NMDARs expressed on endothelial cells regulate blood-brain barrier function via myosin light chain phosphorylation and increase in permeability. They report that these non-neuronal NMDARs display distinct structural, functional, and pharmacological features than their neuronal counterparts.

Abstract
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a severe complication of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), with unclear etiopathogenesis. We evaluated the role of macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF), which has been implicated in idiopathic pulmonary hypertension (PH), in SLE-associated PAH. Circulating MIF was measured in SLE patients, SLE-PAH patients, and healthy donors. In situ pulmonary artery MIF protein expression was determined in spontaneous SLE mice (MRL/lpr) and hypoxia-induced C57BL/6J mice. Daily MIF098 was administered to C57BL/6J mice, and these mice were maintained in a hypoxic chamber for 4 weeks. The right ventricular systolic pressure (RVSP) and pathological characteristics of the pulmonary artery (PA), such as hyperproliferation, muscularization, and fibrosis were then measured in each group of mice. Data were also obtained in vitro using pulmonary smooth muscle cells (PASMC) challenged with platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-BB or 1% O2 hypoxia. As a result, circulating MIF was elevated in SLE-PAH patients compared with SLE patients or healthy donors. Higher RVSP SLE mice produced more MIF protein than lower RVSP SLE mice in the pulmonary artery. MIF098 decreased RVSP and inhibited distal pulmonary artery hyperproliferation, muscularization, and collagen deposition in hypoxia challenged mice. In addition, MIF098 inhibited PASMC proliferation and migration by regulating mitogen-activated protein kinase/extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (MAPK/ERK1/2) signal- and cell-cycle-related proteins. MIF098 also reduced collagen synthesis by inhibiting the TGFβ1/Smad2/Smad3 pathway in cell-based experiments. In conclusion, MIF may serve as a biomarker and a therapeutic target of SLE-associated PAH. Pharmacologic MIF antagonism may be an effective means to ameliorate SLE-PAH.

Life Sci 2019; 232:116612. [PMID: 31260687 DOI: 10.1016/j.lfs.2019.116612] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/02/2019] [Revised: 06/17/2019] [Accepted: 06/27/2019] [Indexed: 01/09/2023]
Abstract
AIMS Accumulating evidence suggest that endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress is an important mechanism underlying the development of diabetes. We have reported that sustained treatment with N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) results in apoptotic β-cell death and impairs insulin secretion. However, the molecular mechanism responsible for NMDA-induced β-cell dysfunction remains largely obscure. Thus, this study aimed to determine whether sustained activation of NMDA receptors (NMDARs) causes β-cell dysfunction through ER stress. MAIN METHODS Primary mouse islets and MIN6 mouse pancreatic β-cells were treated with NMDA for 24 h or high-glucose for 72 h. After the treatment, glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) and the expression of ER stress markers were measured, respectively. In vivo, the expression of ER stress markers was measured in the pancreas of diabetic mice treated with or without NMDARs inhibitor Memantine. KEY FINDINGS NMDA treatment caused an increase in the expression of ER stress markers (ATF4, CHOP, GRP78, and Xbp1s) in primary islets. While, tauroursodeoxycholic acid (TUDCA), an inhibitor of ER stress, significantly attenuated NMDA-induced β-cell dysfunction, including the loss of glucose-stimulated insulin secretion and reduction of pancreas duodenum homeobox factor-1 (Pdx-1) mRNA expression, a transcription factor regulating insulin synthesis. Besides, NMDA-induced ER stress strongly promoted pro-inflammatory cytokines synthesis (IL-1β and TNF-α) in β cells. Interestingly, knockdown of CHOP attenuated β-cell dysfunction evoked by NMDA. Furthermore, we demonstrated that blockade of NMDARs ameliorated high-glucose-induced ER stress in vitro and in vivo. SIGNIFICANCE This study confirms that ER stress is actively involved in the activation of NMDARs-related β-cell dysfunction.

Abstract
In previous studies, we have demonstrated that long noncoding RNA uc.4 may influence the cell differentiation through the TGF-β signaling pathway, suppressed the heart development of zebrafish and resulting cardiac malformation. DNA methylation plays a significant role in the heart development and disordered of DNA methylation may cause disruption of control of gene promoter. In this study, methylated DNA immunoprecipitation was performed to identify the different expression levels of methylation regions. Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis were also performed to identify the possible biological process and pathway that uc.4 may join, associated with Rap1 signaling pathway, gonadotropin-releasing hormone signaling pathway, and Calcium signaling pathway. We found that the distribution of differentially methylated regions peaks was mainly located in intergenic and intron regions. Altogether, our result showed that differentially methylated genes are significantly expressed in uc.4-overexpression cells, providing valuable data for further exploration of the role of uc.4 in heart development.

Abstract
In this study, we explored the complex interactions between platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) and N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) and their effect on the excessive proliferation and migration of smooth muscle cells leading to obstructed arteries in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). We report lower expression of glutamate receptor NMDA-type subunit 2B (GluN2B), a subunit composing NMDARs expected to affect cell survival/proliferation of pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PASMCs), in PAH patient lungs. PASMC exposure to PDGF-BB stimulated immediate increased levels of phosphorylated Src family kinases (SFKs) together with increased phosphorylated GluN2B (its active form) and cell surface relocalization, suggesting a cross talk between PDGFR-recruited SFKs and NMDAR. Selective inhibition of PDGFR-β or SFKs with imatinib or A-419259, respectively, on one hand, or with specific small-interfering RNAs (siRNAs) on the other hand, aborted PDGF-induced phosphorylation of GluN2B, thus validating the pathway. Selective inhibition of GluN2B using Rö25-6981 and silencing with specific siRNA, in the presence of PDGF-BB, significantly increased both migration and proliferation of PASMCs, thus strengthening the functional importance of the pathway. Together, these results indicate that GluN2B-type NMDAR activation may confer to PASMCs antiproliferative and antimigratory properties. The decreased levels of GluN2B observed in PAH pulmonary arteries could mediate the excessive proliferation of PASMCs, thus contributing to medial hyperplasia and PAH development.

Abstract
: Improved survival among HIV-1-infected individuals with the advent of antiretroviral therapy has clearly led to a greater prevalence of noninfectious complications. One of the most devastating sequelae in these individuals is the development of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Various epidemiological studies suggest worse survival of HIV-PAH patients when compared with other forms of PAH. Given that only a subset and not all HIV-infected individuals develop HIV-PAH, it is suggested that an additional second-hit of genetic or environmental trigger is needed for the development of PAH. In this context, it has been well documented that HIV patients who abuse illicit drugs such as stimulants, opioids, and the like, are more susceptible to develop PAH. In this review, we highlight the studies that support the significance of a double hit of HIV and drug abuse in the incidence of PAH and focus on the research that has been undertaken to unravel the pathobiology and vascular remodeling mechanisms underlying the deleterious synergy between HIV infection and drugs of abuse in orchestrating the development of PAH.

Abstract
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a multifactorial and severe disease without curative therapies. PAH pathobiology involves altered pulmonary arterial tone, endothelial dysfunction, distal pulmonary vessel remodeling, and inflammation, which could all depend on ion channel activities (K⁺, Ca2+, Na⁺ and Cl-). This review focuses on ion channels in the pulmonary vasculature and discusses their pathophysiological contribution to PAH as well as their therapeutic potential in PAH.

Abstract
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a heterogeneous and fatal disease of the lung vasculature, where metabolic and mitochondrial dysfunction may drive pathogenesis. Similar to the Warburg effect in cancer, a shift from mitochondrial oxidation to glycolysis occurs in diseased pulmonary vessels and the right ventricle. However, appreciation of metabolic events in PH beyond the Warburg effect is only just emerging. This Review discusses molecular, translational, and clinical concepts centered on the mitochondria and highlights promising, controversial, and challenging areas of investigation. If we can move beyond the "mountains" of obstacles in this field and elucidate these fundamental tenets of pulmonary vascular metabolism, such work has the potential to usher in much-needed diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for the mitochondrial and metabolic management of PH.

Abstract
NMDA-type glutamate receptors (NMDAR) are ligand-gated ion channels that contribute to excitatory neurotransmission in the central nervous system. NMDAR dysfunction has been found to be involved in various neurological disorders. Recent crystallographic and EM studies have shown the static structure of different states of the non-human NMDARs. Here we describe a model of a human NMDA receptor (hNMDAR) and its molecular dynamics (MD) before and after the binding of agonist ligands, glutamate and glycine. It is shown that the binding of ligands promotes a global reduction in molecular flexibility that produces a more tightly packed conformation than the unbound hNMDAR, and a higher cooperative regularity of moving. The ligand-induced synchronization of motion, identified on all structural levels of the modular hNMDA receptor is apparently a fundamental factor in channel gating. Although the time scale of the MD simulations (300 ns) was not sufficient to observe the complete gating event, the obtained data has shown the ligand-induced stabilization of hNMDAR that conforms the “going to be open state”. We propose a mechanistic dynamic model of the ligand-dependent gating mechanism in the hNMDA receptor. At the binding of the ligands, the differently twisted conformations of the highly flexible receptor are stabilized in unique conformation with a linear molecular axis, which is a condition that is optimal for pore development. By searching the receptor surface, we have identified three new pockets, which are different from the pockets described in the literature as the potential and known positive allosteric modulator binding sites. A successful docking of two NMDAR modulators to their binding sites validates the model of a human NMDA receptor as a biological relevant target.
