Abstract excerpt
P2X7R activation contributes to the pathogenesis of pulmonary hypertension. However, the molecular mechanism through which P2X7R participates in pulmonary vascular remodeling is largely unknown. The rats and pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PASMCs) were maintained under hypoxia. P2X7R expression was determined by real-time PCR and western blotting. The pathological changes of lung tissue were evaluated via...
