摘要: 目的 应用大鼠模型探究动脉性肺动脉高压(PAH)进展的机制。方法 利用皮下注射野百合碱(MCT)及SU5416/低氧的方法构建两种大鼠PAH模型,通过肺组织转录组测序分析PAH大鼠基因表达及通路变化,并与NCBI数据库中的特发性肺动脉高压(IPAH)患者的转录组数据进行交叉比对。结果 在两种PAH大鼠模型及IPAH患者肺部,炎性反应相关基因(CXCL9、 CCL24、 SECTM1)表达上调,DGKG、 DOCK9等基因表达下调(P<0.05);T细胞免疫活化的调控、抗病毒免疫反应相关通路在SU5416/低氧-PAH模型与IPAH患者中均显著上调,细胞外结构及白细胞迁移相关通路在MCT-PAH模型与IPAH患者中均显著上调,而内皮细胞增殖调控通路及细胞外基质(ECM)重塑相关通路在两种模型和IPAH患者中均显著激活(P<0.05)。结论 内皮细胞增殖失衡与ECM重塑异常可能协同驱动PAH的病理进程,对于这些通路的深入研究可为PAH的靶向治疗新药研发提供更多依据。

Abstract: Objective To identify mechanisms regulating disease progression in rat models of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Methods Rat PAH models were established using subcutaneous monocrotaline (MCT) injection and the SU5416/hypoxia (SU/Hx) method. Transcriptomic sequencing of lung tissues was performed to identify gene expression and pathway alterations in PAH rats, followed by a comparative analysis with transcriptomic data of patients with idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH) in NCBI database. Results Inflammatory-related genes such as CXCL9, CCL24, and SECTM1 were upregulated in both PAH rat models and IPAH patient lungs, while genes such as DGKG and DOCK9 were downregulated(P<0.05). Pathways related to endothelial cell proliferation regulation and extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling were significantly upregulated(P<0.05). Conclusions The imbalance in endothelial cell proliferation and abnormal ECM remodeling may collectively contribute to PAH pathogenesis. Further exploration of these signaling pathways may provide deep insights for early diagnosis and targeted therapy of PAH.
