Autophagic Protein LC3B Confers Resistance against Hypoxia-induced Pulmonary Hypertension
1 Oct 2010
Abstract excerpt
RATIONALE: Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a progressive disease with unclear etiology. The significance of autophagy in PH remains unknown. OBJECTIVES: To determine the mechanisms by which autophagic proteins regulate tissue responses during PH. METHODS: Lungs from patients with PH, lungs from mice exposed to chronic hypoxia, and human pulmonary vascular cells were examined for autophagy using electron microscopy...
