Post-treatment with Resolvin D1 attenuates pulmonary hypertension by inhibiting endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition - 23/07/24
Abstract |
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a life-threatening disease characterized by pulmonary vascular remodeling. Endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EndMT) is an important manifestation and mechanism of pulmonary vascular remodeling. Resolvin D1 (RvD1) is an endogenous lipid mediator promoting the resolution of inflammation. However, the role of RvD1 on EndMT in PH remains unknown. Here, we aimed to investigate the effect and mechanisms of RvD1 on the treatment of PH. We showed that RvD1 and its receptor FPR2 expression were markedly decreased in PH patients and both chronic hypoxia-induced PH (CH-PH) and sugen 5416/hypoxia-induced PH (SuHx-PH) mice models. RvD1 treatment decreased right ventricular systolic pressure (RVSP) and alleviated right ventricular function, and reduced pulmonary vascular remodeling and collagen deposition in the perivascular of both two PH mice models. Then, RvD1 inhibited EndMT in both the lungs of PH mice models and primary cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) treated with TGF-β and IL-1β. Moreover, RvD1 inhibited EndMT by downregulating Smad2/3 phosphorylation in vivo and in vitro via FPR2. In conclusion, our date suggest that RvD1/FPR2 axis prevent experimental PH by inhibiting endothelial-mensenchymal-transition and may be a therapeutic target for PH.

Resolvin D1(RvD1) alleviates abnormal pulmonary vascular remodeling by inhibiting endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EndMT) in PH mice models. In addition, RvD1 can inhibit endothelial cells phenotypic transformation in HUVECs treated with TGF-β2 and IL-1β. The effect of RvD1 is mediated via downregulating Smad phosphorylation via FPR2. RvD1 may have therapeutic benefits in PH.
