Abstract Aims Hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction (HPV) is a physiological response to alveolar hypoxia that diverts blood flow from poorly ventilated better aerated lung areas optimize ventilation-perfusion matching. Yet, the exact sensory and signalling mechanisms by which triggers remain incompletely understood. Recently, ATP release via pannexin 1 (Panx1) subsequent purinergic P2Y receptors has been identified as regulator of in systemic arterioles. Here, we probed for role Panx1-mediated...
Study objective Endothelial dysfunction and increased microvascular permeability are hallmarks of severe COVID-19. At present, the extent endothelial barrier failure its underlying mechanisms in COVID‑19 remain unclear. We hypothesized that leak results from bioactive mediators released COVID-19 rather than direct infection can thus be recapitulated ex vivo by treating cells with patient plasma, providing a personalized screening platform for barrier-protective interventions Methods Citrate...
Hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction (HPV) is a physiological response to alveolar hypoxia by which blood flow redirected from poorly ventilated areas better aerated lung regions. Sustained HPV plays critical role in the development of hypertension (PH) but exact signaling pathways underlying remain incompletely defined. Recently, ATP release via Pannexin 1 (Panx1) and subsequent purinergic have been linked transient receptor potential vanlloid 4 (TRPV4) channel mediated Ca2+ systemic...
