Résumé en anglais

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a severe form of pulmonary hypertension that combines multiple alterations of pulmonary arteries, including, in particular, thrombotic and plexiform lesions. Multiple-pathological-insult animal models, developed to more closely mimic this human severe PAH form, often require complex and/or long experimental procedures while not displaying the entire panel of characteristic lesions observed in the human disease. In this study, we further characterized a rat model of severe PAH generated by combining a single injection of monocrotaline with 4 weeks exposure to chronic hypoxia. This model displays increased pulmonary arterial pressure, right heart altered function and remodeling, pulmonary arterial inflammation, hyperresponsiveness and remodeling. In particular, severe pulmonary arteriopathy was observed, with thrombotic, neointimal and plexiform-like lesions similar to those observed in human severe PAH. This model, based on the combination of two conventional procedures, may therefore be valuable to further understand the pathophysiology of severe PAH and identify new potential therapeutic targets in this disease.< Réduire
