- W2063670538 abstract "Pulmonary hypertension (PH) may result from numerous clinical entities affecting the pulmonary circulation primarily or secondarily. It is recognized that vascular endothelial dysfunction contributes to the development and perpetuation of PH by creating an imbalance between vasodilating and antiproliferative forces and between vasoconstrictive and proliferative forces. In that context, endothelin-1 (ET-1) overproduction was rapidly targeted as a plausible contributor to the pathogenesis of PH. The lung is recognized as the major site for ET production and clearance. In all animal models of PH studied, circulating plasma ET-1 levels are elevated, accompanied by an increase in lung tissue expression of the peptide. The use of selective ETA and dual ETA-ETB receptor antagonists in these models both in prevention and in therapeutic studies have confirmed the contribution of ET-1 to the rise in pulmonary vascular tone, pulmonary medial hypertrophy, and right ventricular hypertrophy. This is found consistently in models affecting the pulmonary circulation primarily or producing PH secondarily. Recent clinical trials in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension have confirmed the therapeutic effectiveness of ET-receptor antagonists in humans. We offer a systematic review of the pathogenic role of the ET system in the development of PH as well as the rationale behind the preclinical and ongoing clinical trials with this new class of agents." @default.
