Show abstract
Hypoxemia impairs cardiopulmonary function. We investigated pulmonary artery remodeling in mice exposed to chronic hypoxia for up to five weeks and quantified associated changes in cardiac and lung function, without or with subsequent normoxic recovery in the absence or presence of exercise or pharmacological intervention. Hypoxia-induced stiffening of the proximal pulmonary artery stemmed primarily from remodeling of the adventitial collagen, which resulted in part from altered inter-cellular signaling associated with phenotypic changes in the mural smooth muscle cells and macrophages. Such stiffening appeared to precede and associate with both right ventricular and lung dysfunction, with changes emerging to similar degrees regardless of the age of onset of hypoxia during postnatal development. Key homeostatic target values of the wall mechanics were recovered by the pulmonary arteries with normoxic recovery while other values recovered only partially. Overall cardiopulmonary dysfunction due to hypoxia was similarly only partially reversible. Remodeling of the cardiopulmonary system due to hypoxia is a complex, multi-scale process that involves maladaptations of the proximal pulmonary artery.
