This exploratory research, conducted via focus groups, asked 13 patients with PAH for their insights about the use of FDC (2 PAH treatments in a single tablet), its potential benefits, and challenges to its use. At the time of the focus groups (July 2023), no FDC medications were available for PAH and the discussions were therefore hypothetical. Focus group transcripts were analyzed by a qualitative research specialist to identify key themes. Most participants were unfamiliar with FDC prior to taking part in the focus groups; however, during the engagement, 12/13 participants expressed interest in taking FDC as single-tablet therapy for their PAH. In general, participants saw the potential benefits as improved convenience, less time spent navigating insurance coverage, and improved adherence. Participants felt that reducing their tablet count by just one tablet would be meaningful to them. Concerns were raised about the potential difficulty with medication titration and challenges distinguishing between the side effects of two combined medications.

Using data from the TRACE study, in which 108 adult patients with PAH were continuously monitored with a wrist-worn accelerometer, we evaluated whether actigraphy can facilitate continuous monitoring of exercise capacity. Distributions of step rate, distance and duration of patient's walking bouts were estimated at baseline, Week 16 and Week 24 using 2-week periods of actigraphy data. Twenty-one metrics per walking bout characteristic were described (mean, standard deviation, 19 percentiles [5th-95th]). The relationships between these metrics and the 6-min walk distance (6MWD), Borg dyspnea index (BDI), and the PAH Symptoms and Impact questionnaire (PAH-SYMPACT) Physical Impact domain score were assessed at the three timepoints.

The precise mechanisms underlying CTEPH remain unclear. However, defective angiogenesis and altered pulmonary arterial endothelial cell (PAEC) function may contribute to disease progression. Despite the observation of differences in histological features, shear stress and ischemia along the pulmonary vascular tree, the potential contribution of PAEC phenotype and function to these disparate aspects remains unexplored. Based on these observations, we postulated that angiogenic capacities and endothelial barrier function may contribute to disparities in histological features observed along the pulmonary vascular tree. We thus explored the histological characteristics of the pulmonary vascular tree using pulmonary arterial lesions obtained during pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA). We focused on the angiogenic vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-A/VEGF receptor-2 (VEGFR2) axis and collagen 15A1 (COL15A1), a potential marker of endothelial cells of the systemic circulation. Concurrently, we examined In Vitro angiogenic properties and barrier function of PAECs derived from large and (sub)-segmental pulmonary arterial lesions. (Sub)-segmental pulmonary arterial lesions were abundantly recanalized by neovessels, paralleled by an enriched expression of VEGFR2. VEGF-A expression was more pronounced in large pulmonary arterial lesions. Nevertheless, no significant difference was discerned in In Vitro angiogenic capacities and barrier integrity of PAECs isolated from large and (sub)-segmental pulmonary arterial lesions. Importantly, our findings revealed the presence of endothelial cells (CD31<sup>+</sup>) expressing COL15A1, as well as CD31<sup>+</sup> cells that did not express COL15A1. This suggests that endothelial cells from both systemic and pulmonary circulation contribute to lesion recanalization. Despite disparate in situ angiogenic cues in VEGF-A/VEGFR2 axis between large and (sub)-segmental pulmonary arterial lesions in CTEPH, In Vitro angiogenic capacities and barrier function remain unaltered.</p>","PeriodicalId":20927,"journal":{"name":"Pulmonary Circulation","volume":"15 2","pages":"e70096"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12067398/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143993768","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although research on the phenotypic transition of PASMCs has been ongoing, little is known about the specific molecular mechanisms underlying this process. Integrin-linked kinase (ILK) is one of the genes essential for maintaining the contractile phenotype of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). It has been shown that ILK is a target gene of MiR-542-3p, and overexpression of MiR-542-3p can promote apoptosis of osteosarcoma cells by downregulating the expression of ILK, and inhibit their cell proliferation, migration, and invasion. In this study we found that hypoxia upregulated MiR-542-3p expression, and MiR-542-3p mimics reduced ILK, Myocardin expression, and promote phenotypic transition in PASMCs. And, ILK was a direct target of MiR-542-3p in PASMCs. MiR-542-3p inhibitor reversed hypoxia-induced reduction of ILK and Myocardin expression in PASMCs, and phenotypic transition, proliferation, and migration of PASMCs.

Thus, our results suggest that hypoxia induced an increase in MiR-542-3p expression, which caused an increase in binding to ILK gene and negatively regulated ILK expression.
