Abstract
Preeclampsia (PE) is one of the complications, that threatens pregnant mothers during pregnancy. According to studies, it accounts for 3-7% of all pregnancies, and also is effective in preterm delivery. PE is the third leading cause of death in pregnant women. High blood pressure in PE can increase the risk of developing cardiovascular disease (CVD) in cited individuals, and is one of the leading causes of death in PE individuals. Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), Renin-Angiotensin system and nitric oxide (NO) are some of involved factors in regulating blood pressure. Therefore, by identifying the signaling pathways, that are used by these molecules to regulate and modulate blood pressure, appropriate treatment strategies can be provided to reduce blood pressure through target therapy in PE individuals; consequently, it can reduce CVD risk and mortality.

Abstract
Exposure to hypoxia increases pulmonary vascular resistance, leading to elevated pulmonary arterial pressure and, potentially, right heart failure. Vascular remodeling is an important contributor to the increased pulmonary vascular resistance. Hyperproliferation of smooth muscle, endothelial cells, and fibroblasts, and deposition of extracellular matrix lead to increased wall thickness, extension of muscle into normally non-muscular arterioles, and vascular stiffening. This review highlights intrinsic and extrinsic modulators contributing to the remodeling process.

Abstract
Group 3 pulmonary hypertension (PH), which occurs secondary to hypoxia lung diseases, is one of the most common causes of PH worldwide and has a high unmet clinical need. A deeper understanding of the integrative pathological and adaptive molecular mechanisms within this group is required to inform the development of novel drug targets and effective treatments. The production of oxidants is increased in PH Group 3, and their pleiotropic roles include contributing to disease progression by promoting prolonged hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction and pathological pulmonary vascular remodeling, but also stimulating adaptation to pathological stress that limits the severity of this disease. Inflammation, which is increasingly being viewed as a key pathological feature of Group 3 PH, is subject to complex regulation by redox mechanisms and is exacerbated by, but also augments oxidative stress. In this review, we investigate aspects of this complex crosstalk between inflammation and oxidative stress in Group 3 PH, focusing on the redox-regulated transcription factor NF-κB and its upstream regulators toll-like receptor 4 and high mobility group box protein 1. Ultimately, we propose that the development of specific therapeutic interventions targeting redox-regulated signaling pathways related to inflammation could be explored as novel treatments for Group 3 PH.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a complex disease of the small pulmonary arteries that is mainly characterized by vascular remodeling. It has been demonstrated that excessive proliferation of pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells (PASMCs) plays a pivotal role in vascular remodeling during PAH. The present study was undertaken to explore the role of TMEM16A in regulating PASMCs proliferation in high pulmonary blood flow-induced PAH. METHODS Aortocaval shunt surgery was undertaken to establish an animal model. Pulmonary artery pressure and pulmonary vascular structure remodeling (PVSR) were tested. Immunohistochemical staining and Western blot were performed to investigate the expression of TMEM16A. The proliferation of PASMCs was tested by the MTT assay. After treating PASMCs with TMEM16A-siRNA, the expression of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), phosphorylated p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p-p38MAPK), and phosphorylated extracellular signal-regulated kinase (p-ERK) signaling in PASMCs were tested. RESULTS PAH and PVSR developed 11 weeks postoperation. Elevated expression of TMEM16A accompanied by high expression of PCNA in pulmonary arteries of the shunt group was observed. The increased proliferation of PASMCs and increased expression of TMEM16A and PCNA, along with activated p-p38MAPK and p-ERK signaling in PASMCs of the shunt group, were all attenuated by siRNA-specific TMEM16A knockdown. CONCLUSION TMEM16A regulates PASMCs proliferation in high pulmonary blood flow-induced PAH, and the p38MAPK/ERK signaling pathway is probably involved.

Abstract
In various vascular diseases, extracellular matrix (ECM) and integrin expression are frequently altered, leading to focal adhesion kinase (FAK) or proline-rich tyrosine kinase 2 (Pyk2) activation. In addition to the major roles of FAK and Pyk2 in regulating adhesion dynamics via integrins, recent studies have shown a new role for nuclear FAK in gene regulation in various vascular cells. In particular, FAK primarily localizes within the nuclei of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) of healthy arteries. However, vessel injury increased FAK localization back to adhesions and elevated FAK activity, leading to VSMC hyperplasia. The study suggested that abnormal FAK or Pyk2 activation in vascular cells may cause pathology in vascular diseases. Here we will review several studies of FAK and Pyk2 associated with integrin signaling in vascular diseases including restenosis, atherosclerosis, heart failure, pulmonary arterial hypertension, aneurysm, and thrombosis. Despite the importance of FAK family kinases in vascular diseases, comprehensive reviews are scarce. Therefore, we summarized animal models involving FAK family kinases in vascular diseases.

Abstract
The last 20-25 years have seen an explosion of interest in the role of NADPH oxidase (NOX) in cardiovascular function and disease. In vascular smooth muscle and endothelium, NOX generates reactive oxygen species (ROS) that act as second messengers, contributing to the control of normal vascular function. NOX activity is altered in response to a variety of stimuli, including G-protein coupled receptor agonists, growth-factors, perfusion pressure, flow and hypoxia. NOX-derived ROS are involved in smooth muscle constriction, endothelium-dependent relaxation and smooth muscle growth, proliferation and migration, thus contributing to the fine-tuning of blood flow, arterial wall thickness and vascular resistance. Through reversible oxidative modification of target proteins, ROS regulate the activity of protein tyrosine phosphatases, kinases, G proteins, ion channels, cytoskeletal proteins and transcription factors. There is now considerable, but somewhat contradictory evidence that NOX contributes to the pathogenesis of hypertension through oxidative stress. Specific NOX isoforms have been implicated in endothelial dysfunction, hyper-contractility and vascular remodelling in various animal models of hypertension, pulmonary hypertension and pulmonary arterial hypertension, but also have potential protective effects, particularly NOX4. This review explores the multiplicity of NOX function in the healthy vasculature and the evidence for and against targeting NOX for antihypertensive therapy.

Abstract
Dysregulated redox signaling in pulmonary vasculature is central to the development of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and lung injury. Modulators of reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and downstream signaling targets are critical for mediating the physiological or pathological effects of ROS. Understanding the complex interactions between the modulators and signaling targets of ROS is essential for developing novel strategies to prevent or attenuate lung pathologies. In this review, we discuss recent studies on the modulators and targets of ROS in pulmonary endothelial and smooth muscle cells, their cellular effects, and the disease conditions associated with dysregulated redox signaling.

Abstract
Hyperproliferation of pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells is a key component of vascular remodeling in the setting of pulmonary hypertension (PH). Numerous studies have explored factors governing the changes in smooth muscle cell phenotype that lead to the increased wall thickness, and have identified various potential candidates. A role for reactive oxygen species (ROS) has been well documented in PH. ROS can be generated from a variety of sources, including mitochondria, uncoupled nitric oxide synthase, xanthine oxidase, and reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase. In this article, we will review recent data supporting a role for ROS generated from NADPH oxidases in promoting pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cell proliferation during PH.

Abstract
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is characterized by pulmonary vascular remodeling leading to right ventricular hypertrophy (RVH) and failure. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ), a member of nuclear receptors, has been proved to ameliorate PAH. However, its effect on PAH-induced right ventricular failure (RVF) remains unknown. Therefore, we investigated the therapeutic potential of PPARγ in preventing monocrotaline (MCT)-induced RV dysfunction. The PAH model was induced by MCT administration. Male rats were administered with MCT to develop PAH and RVF formed by approximately day 30. Significant increase in RV area, RVAW resulted in an ascending RV index. However, the LV function including EF, FS, and LVID did not change significantly. PPARγ agonist prevented PAH-induced RVF by preserving RV index and preventing RVH. PPARγ's beneficial effects seem to result from various factors, including anti-apoptosis, preservation RV index, reversal of inflammation, improvement of glucolipid metabolism, reduction of ROS. In a word, PPARγ agonist prevents the development of RVF.

Abstract
Extracellular matrix proteins play important roles in the development of pulmonary hypertension(pH). However, the role of Cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP) in the development of hypoxia-induced pH is largely unknown. We tested the hypothesis that COMP deficiency induced by hypoxia leads to the phenotype switching of pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells (PASMCs). The expression of COMP decreased in a chronic hypoxia rat pH model (P<0.05) and in PASMCs under hypoxia (3%O2) (P<0.05). The expressions of differentiated marker proteins reduced in the pulmonary arteries from 5 month old COMP-/- mice and in PASMCs under hypoxia or with the siRNA of COMP treatment under normoxia, but increased in PASMCs with adenovirus-increased COMP under hypoxia. The absorbance of cell counting kit-8 at 450nm and the expressions of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and osteopontin increased in PASMCs with the siRNA of COMP under normoxia (P<0.05). PCNA and osteopontin decreased in PASMCs with adenovirus-increased COMP under hypoxia (P<0.05). Additionally, the expression of bone morphogenetic protein receptor 2 (BMPR2) was reduced in COMP-/- mice (P<0.01). Both mRNA and protein levels of bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP2) were lower in PASMCs with the siRNA of COMP (P<0.05). The protein level of BMP2 could be reversed by adenovirus-increased COMP under hypoxia (P<0.05). These data suggest that COMP could normally have a protective role against PASMC phenotype switching and maintain BMP2/BMPR2 signaling, and these protective actions could be lost as a result of hypoxia promoting a depletion of COMP.

Abstract
It has been shown that the sympathetic nervous system is activated in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Norepinephrine (NE) levels are increased by chemoreflex-dependent sympathetic overactivation and involved in pulmonary vascular remodeling. However, the underlying mechanisms of the remodeling induced by NE are poorly understood. In this study, we found that, in vivo, the expression of tyrosine hydroxylase and the concentration of plasma NE were increased in PAH rats compared with normal rats. Increases in ventricular hypertrophy and medial width of the pulmonary arteries were reversed by prazosin, α1-adrenoceptor (α1-AR) antagonists, in PAH rats. Elevated expression of α1D-AR was detected in PAH rats. In addition, prazosin reduced the increasing expression of PCNA, CyclinA and CyclinE induced by hypoxia. In vitro, MTT assay, flow cytometry, Western blotting and immunofluorescence were performed to investigate the effects of NE on proliferation of pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PASMCs). We revealed that NE promoted PASMCs viability, increased the expression of PCNA, CyclinA and CyclinE, made more cells from G0/G1 phase to G2/M+S phase and enhanced the microtubule formation. Above NE-induced changes could be suppressed by BMY 7378, an inhibitor of α1D-AR. Furthermore, ERK-1/2 pathway was activated by NE. U0126, a specific inhibitor for ERK-1/2, attenuated the NE-induced proliferation of PASMCs under normoxia and hypoxia. Taken together, our results suggest that NE which stimulates α1D-AR promotes proliferation of PASMCs and the effect is, at least in part, mediated via the ERK-1/2 pathway.
