Role of Hypoxia Inducible Factor-1α in Pulmonary Vascular Disease

History:

I am convinced that the disease is caused by the increasing mass of inner vascular tissue during its development….to connective tissue…caused by inflammation. However, I contest the term “inflammation” to characterize a process with nothing whatsoever to do with inflammation. Professor Julius Klob, M.D., 1839-1879 regarded as the first to describe primary pulmonary hypertension

Might cell specific expression of hypoxia-inducible factors modulate normal and abnormal PVR?

Pulmonary hypertension: No effective treatment or cure

7 year median survival No cure or reliably effective therapies Despite substantial therapeutic pipeline ($), patient specific Tx Complicates many childhood diseases-

SMC specific deletion of HIF-1α increases pulmonary arterial pressure and increases the response to hypoxia

Kim, et al., Circ Res, 2013

SM22-driven deletion of HIF-1α increases myosin light chain phosphorylation in SMC, not muscularization

Kim, et al., Circ Res, 2013

MHC-driven deletion of HIF-1α in SMC decreased pulmonary arterial pressure, but not vascular remodeling

Hypothesis: SM-22α HIF-1α expression modulates lung development ?

On C57B/6 Mice, HIF-1α deleted using an SM-22α promoter Tissue Specific, deletion confirmed, no increased neonatal mortality Does expression of HIF-1α in SM22α cells contribute to lung development?

Conclusion:

HIF-1α in the lung:

  • Plays cell-specific roles;
  • Is active even in normoxia;
  • SMC has long-term implications for lung structure and perhaps function;
  • SMC may modulate PAEC migration and angiogenesis and elastin

homeostasis

  • SMC may regulate angiopoietin production to ‘call’ endothelial cells.
