Comparative analysis of antiproliferative and vasodilator effects of drugs for pulmonary hypertension: Extensive in vitro study in rats and human
Vascul Pharmacol. 2024 Apr 8;155:107371. doi: 10.1016/j.vph.2024.107371. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAn effective pulmonary hypertension (PH) treatment should combine antiproliferative and vasodilator effects. We characterized a wide-range of drugs comparing their anti-proliferative vs vasodilator effects in human and rat pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PASMC). Key findings: 1) Approved PH drugs (PDE5 inhibitors, sGC stimulators and PGI2 agonists) are preferential vasodilators. 2) cGMP stimulators were more effective in cells derived from hypertensive rats. 3) Nifedipine acted equally as vasodilator and antiprolife...

Relevance of real-time analyzers to determine mitochondrial quality in endothelial cells and oxidative stress in preeclampsia
Vascul Pharmacol. 2024 Apr 6;155:107372. doi: 10.1016/j.vph.2024.107372. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTOxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction are important elements for the pathophysiology of preeclampsia (PE), a multisystemic hypertensive syndrome of pregnancy, characterized by endothelial dysfunction and responsible for a large part of maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality worldwide. Researchers have dedicated their efforts to unraveling the intricate ways in which certain molecules influence both energy metabolism and oxidative stress. Exploring established methodologies from existing literature, shows that...

A novel inducible von Willebrand Factor Cre recombinase mouse strain to study microvascular endothelial cell-specific biological processes in vivo
Vascul Pharmacol. 2024 Mar 29;155:107369. doi: 10.1016/j.vph.2024.107369. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMouse models are invaluable to understanding fundamental mechanisms in vascular biology during development, in health and different disease states. Several constitutive or inducible models that selectively knockout or knock in genes in vascular endothelial cells exist; however, functional and phenotypic differences exist between microvascular and macrovascular endothelial cells in different organs. In order to study microvascular endothelial cell-specific biological processes, we developed a Tamoxifen-inducible von Wille...
