Abstract excerpt
RATIONALE: Mechanisms that impair angiogenesis in neonatal persistent pulmonary hypertension (PPHN) are poorly understood. OBJECTIVES: To determine if PPHN alters fetal pulmonary artery endothelial cell (PAEC) phenotype and impairs growth and angiogenesis in vitro, and if altered vascular endothelial growth factor-nitric oxide (VEGF-NO) signaling contributes to this abnormal phenotype. METHODS: Proximal PAECs...
