Sex differences in the proliferation of pulmonary artery endothelial cells: implications for plexiform arteriopathy
1 May 2020
Abstract excerpt
ABSTRACT The sex-biased disease pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is characterized by the proliferation and overgrowth of dysfunctional pulmonary artery endothelial cells (PAECs). During inflammation associated with PAH, granzyme B cleaves intersectin-1 to produce N-terminal (EHITSN) and C-terminal (SH3A–EITSN) protein fragments. In a murine model of PAH, EHITSN triggers plexiform arteriopathy via...
