Inhibition of BET Proteins Reduces Right Ventricle Hypertrophy and Pulmonary Hypertension Resulting from Combined Hypoxia and Pulmonary Inflammation.
Pulmonary hypertension is a co-morbidity, which strongly participates in morbi-mortality in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Recent findings showed that bromodomain-containing proteins, in charge of reading histone acetylation, could be involved in pulmonary arterial hypertension. Our aim was to study the effect of I-BET151, an inhibitor of bromodomain and extra-terminal domain (BET), on the right ventricle hypertrophy and pulmonary hypertension, induced by a combination of chronic hypoxia and pulmonary inflammation, as the two main stimuli encountered in COPD. Adult Wistar male rats, exposed to chronic hypoxia plus pulmonary inflammation (CHPI), showed a significant right ventricle hypertrophy (+57%, Topics: Animals; Blood Pressure; Heterocyclic Compounds, 4 or More Rings; Hypertension, Pulmonary; Hypertrophy, Right Ventricular; Hypoxia; Male; Pneumonia; Pulmonary Disease, Chronic Obstructive; Rats, Wistar; Transcription Factors | 2018 |
