Abstract

Abstract —We investigated the role of heme oxygenase (HO)–1 in the development of hypoxia-induced pulmonary hypertension. HO catalyzes the breakdown of heme to the antioxidant bilirubin and the vasodilator carbon monoxide. Hypoxia is a potent but transient inducer of HO-1 in vascular smooth muscle cells in vitro and in the lung in vivo. By using agonists of HO-1, we sustained a high expression of HO-1 in the lungs of rats for 1 week. We report that this in vivo enhancement of HO-1 in the lung prevented the development of hypoxic pulmonary hypertension and inhibited the structural remodeling of the pulmonary vessels. The mechanism(s) underlying this effect may involve a direct vasodilating and antiproliferative action of endogenous carbon monoxide, as well as an indirect effect of carbon monoxide on the production of vasoconstrictors. These results provide evidence that enhancement of endogenous adaptive responses may be used to prevent hypoxia-induced pulmonary hypertension.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
