- W2017011978 abstract "BackgroundThe development of pulmonary arterial hypertension in scleroderma remains an important contributor to mortality in this condition, despite substantial improvements in outcomes due to modern therapeutic strategies. No animal models of scleroderma develop this important complication. We describe the constitutive vascular phenotype of a mouse model of scleroderma and show that pulmonary endothelial injury replicates the pathological changes of pulmonary arterial hypertension seen in human disease.MethodsThe TβRIIΔk-fib mouse strain expresses a kinase-deficient type II transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) receptor driven by a fibroblast-specific promoter leading to ligand-dependent upregulation of TGFβ signalling; this mouse strain replicates key fibrotic features of scleroderma. We did structural, biochemical, and functional assessments of pulmonary and systemic vessels, including in-vivo haemodynamic studies, before and after vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR) inhibition with SU5416, which induced pulmonary endothelial cell apoptosis. These assessments included biochemical analysis of the TGFβ, endothelin, and VEGF signalling axes in vivo; tissue sections; and explanted pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells.FindingsIn the TβRIIΔk-fib mouse strain, a constitutive pulmonary vasculopathy with medial thickening, a perivascular proliferating chronic inflammatory cell infiltrate, and mildly raised pulmonary artery pressures resemble the well-described chronic hypoxia model of pulmonary hypertension. After administration of SU5416, the pulmonary vascular phenotype was more florid, with pulmonary arteriolar luminal obliteration by apoptosis-resistant proliferating endothelial cells; the result was right ventricular hypertrophy confirming haemodynamically significant pulmonary arterial hypertension. Altered TGFβ, endothelin, and ligand and receptor expression of VEGF were consistent with a scleroderma phenotype.InterpretationThis study replicates key features of scleroderma-associated pulmonary arterial hypertension in a mouse model. Our results suggest that pulmonary endothelial cell injury in a genetically susceptible mouse strain triggers this complication and support functional interplay between TGFβ, endothelin, and VEGF that provides insight into pathogenesis.FundingArthritis Research UK." @default.
