Bone Marrow–derived Cells Contribute to the Pathogenesis of Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension
9 Dec 2015
Abstract excerpt
RATIONALE: Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a progressive lung disease of the pulmonary microvasculature. Studies suggest that bone marrow (BM)-derived circulating cells may play an important role in its pathogenesis. OBJECTIVES: We used a genetic model of PAH, the Bmpr2 mutant mouse, to study the role of BM-derived circulating cells in its pathogenesis. METHODS: Recipient mice, either Bmpr2(R899X) mutant...
