Abstract
Background: Endothelial dysfunction of the pulmonary artery contributes to hypoxia-induced pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Omentin-1, as a novel adipocytokine, plays an important protective role against cardiovascular diseases. However, the effect and underlying mechanisms of omentin-1 against PAH remain unclear.
Methods: PAH was induced in SD (Sprague & Dawley) rats via a low-oxygen chamber for 4 weeks. Hemodynamic evaluation was undertaken using a PowerLab data acquisition system, and histopathological analysis was stained with hematoxylin and eosin (H&E). Endothelial function of pulmonary artery was assessed using wire myography.
Results: We found that omentin-1 significantly improved pulmonary endothelial function in rats exposed to hypoxia and attenuated PAH. Mechanistically, we found that omentin-1 increased phosphorylated 5'‑adenosine monophosphate‑activated protein kinase (p‑AMPK) level and reduced endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and increased NO production in pulmonary artery from rats exposed to hypoxia. However, the effect of omentin-1 was abolished by treatment with AMPK inhibitor (Compound C).
Conclusions: Our results reveal a protective effect of omentin-1 in PAH via inhibiting ER stress through AMPKα signaling and provide an agent with translational potential for the treatment of PAH.
期刊介绍:
Clinical and Experimental Hypertension is a reputable journal that has converted to a full Open Access format starting from Volume 45 in 2023. While previous volumes are still accessible through a Pay to Read model, the journal now provides free and open access to its content. It serves as an international platform for the exchange of up-to-date scientific and clinical information concerning both human and animal hypertension. The journal publishes a wide range of articles, including full research papers, solicited and unsolicited reviews, and commentaries. Through these publications, the journal aims to enhance current understanding and support the timely detection, management, control, and prevention of hypertension-related conditions.
One notable aspect of Clinical and Experimental Hypertension is its coverage of special issues that focus on the proceedings of symposia dedicated to hypertension research. This feature allows researchers and clinicians to delve deeper into the latest advancements in this field.
The journal is abstracted and indexed in several renowned databases, including Pharmacoeconomics and Outcomes News (Online), Reactions Weekly (Online), CABI, EBSCOhost, Elsevier BV, International Atomic Energy Agency, and the National Library of Medicine, among others. These affiliations ensure that the journal's content receives broad visibility and facilitates its discoverability by professionals and researchers in related disciplines.
