Abstract
Abstract
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), is a chronic disorder characterized by excessive pulmonary vascular remodelling, resulting in elevated pulmonary vascular resistance and right ventricle (RV) overload and failure. PAH remains incurable, and new therapeutic approaches are required. The microRNA-146a (miR-146a) promotes vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation and vascular neointimal hyperplasia, both important hallmarks of PAH.
This study aimed to investigate the role of miR-146a in the pathophysiology of PAH and in the progression to RV hypertrophy and failure.
Sprague Dawley rats received a subcutaneous injection of monocrotaline (MCT group) or vehicle (CTRL group) and, after fourteen days they were treated, by intratracheal nebulization, with an anti-miR-146a, forming four distinct groups: CTRL-treated; CTRL-untreated, MCT-treated, and MCT-untreated. Twenty-seven days after MCT injection, echocardiographic and invasive hemodynamic evaluations were performed in all animal groups. Also, wild-type (WT) and miR-146a knock-out (KO) (miR-146a−/−) mice were submitted to either 3 weeks of chronic hypoxia-induced PAH with weekly Sugen 5416 administration (SuHx).
Compared to MCT-untreated rats, the MCT-treated rats showed decreased RV hypertrophy, (as measured by the Fulton index),decreased RV end-diastolic diameter/left ventricle end-diastolic diameter (RVEDD/LVEDD) ratio, and decreased in RV diastolic pressures. KO-SuHx group, when compared to WT-SuHx group, showed decreased RV hypertrophy (as measured by the Fulton index), and decreased RV systolic pressures and dilation, as well as lower RV end end-diastolic diameter (RVEDDi) and right atria area (RAAi).
Our findings show that miR-146a pharmacological or genetic inhibition reduces RV remodelling and improves cardiac function. Thus, miR-146a represents a promising therapeutic target in PAH.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Although initially believed to be less severe than heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) prevalence has increased and accounts for as much as 50% of heart failure cases [1,2]. Treatment options remain limited and aim primarily for symptom relief and improvement of quality of life [2]. Urocortin-2 (Ucn-2) belongs to the corticotrophin-releasing hormone (CRH) family and has been found to have significant beneficial hemodynamic, hormonal and renoprotective effects both in both animal models and humans with HFrEF [3,4].
Objectives
In this work we studied the role of the Ucn-2/CRHR2 system in the pathophysiology of HFpEF and evaluated the efficacy of Ucn-2 as a novel therapeutic strategy in this clinical syndrome.
Methods
18-week-old male ZSF1-Lean (n=26) and ZSF1-Obese (n=28) rats randomly received either Ucn-2 (15 μg/kg/day, subcutaneously) or vehicle (0.9% NaCl), for 12 weeks, resulting in 4 experimental groups: ZSF1-Lean + Ucn-2; ZSF1-Lean + vehicle; ZSF1-Obese + Ucn-2; ZSF1-Obese + vehicle. During the treatment period, evolution of cardiac (dys)function was assessed by echocardiography and exercise tolerance test. After treatment, invasive hemodynamic analysis was performed, with subsequent sample collection. Histological analysis of the left ventricle (LV) was performed as well as quantitative western blotting and RT-PCR analysis for relevant molecular markers (Figure 1).
Results
mRNA expression of Ucn-2 and CRHR2, as well as protein levels of CRHR2, were decreased in the LV of ZSF1-Obese rats compared to ZSF1-Lean and correlated with LV structure and diastolic function. ZSF1-Obese rats showed systemic hypertension, decreased endurance capacity and impaired LV relaxation, with preserved ejection fraction and cardiac index. Chronic Ucn-2 treatment attenuated hypertension and modestly enhanced effort tolerance. In both morphometric and echocardiographic analysis we found that ZSF1-Obese rats presented significantly higher cardiac and LV weight, compared to Lean counterparts. Cardiomyocyte cross-sectional area and fibrosis were found to be increased in Obese rats, corroborating morphometric and echocardiographic measurements. Chronic Ucn-2 treatment attenuated both cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis. Furthermore, ZSF1-Obese rats displayed increased BNP and TNF-α LV mRNA expression, both of which were decreased with Ucn-2 treatment. Interestingly, Col3A1 LV mRNA expression was found to be decreased in ZSF1-Obese rats compared to ZSF1-Lean, and Ucn-2 therapy resulted in a faint further decrease of Col3A1 expression, compared to non-treated animals.
Conclusion
This work suggests that Ucn-2/CRHR2 system is altered in experimental HFpEF and that chronic administration of Ucn-2 attenuates LV dysfunction and remodeling, in particular the hypertrophic changes of the cardiac muscle.

Abstract
Urocortin (Ucn)-2 has shown promising therapeutic effects on heart failure (HF). However, there are still significant knowledge gaps regarding the role and modulation of the endogenous Ucn-2 axis in the cardiovascular system and, specifically, in acute HF. We evaluated Ucn-2 levels in admission serum samples of 80 acute HF patients and assessed their association with clinical, analytical and echocardiographic parameters. Median age was 76.5 years, and 37 patients (46%) were male. Median serum Ucn-2 was 2.3ng/mL. Ucn-2 levels were positively associated with peripheral edemas (P = 0.022), hepatomegaly (P = 0.007) and sodium retention score (ρ = 0.37, P = 0.001) and inversely correlated with inferior vena cava collapse at inspiration (ρ = -0.37, P = 0.001). Additionally, patients with higher Ucn-2 levels had a higher prevalence of right atrial dilation (P = 0.027), right ventricle dilation (P = 0.008), and higher systolic pulmonary artery pressure (ρ = 0.34, P = 0.002). Regarding analytical parameters, Ucn-2 correlated positively with log BNP (r = 0.22, P = 0.055) and inversely with uric acid (r = 0.24, P = 0.029) and total (r = -0.30, P = 0.007) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (r = -0.23, P = 0.038). No associations were found between Ucn-2 and age, sex or left heart structure or function. In conclusion, Circulating Ucn-2 was associated with clinical and echocardiographic markers of volume overload and pulmonary hypertension in acute HF patients.

Abstract
We have previously shown that treatment with recombinant human neuregulin-1 (rhNRG-1) improves pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) in a monocrotaline (MCT)-induced animal model, by decreasing pulmonary arterial remodelling and endothelial dysfunction, as well as by restoring right ventricular (RV) function. Additionally, rhNRG-1 treatment showed direct myocardial anti-remodelling effects in a model of pressure loading of the RV without PAH. This work aimed to study the intrinsic cardiac effects of rhNRG-1 on experimental PAH and RV pressure overload, and more specifically on diastolic stiffness, at both the ventricular and cardiomyocyte level. We studied the effects of chronic rhNRG-1 treatment on ventricular passive stiffness in RV and LV samples from MCT-induced PAH animals and in the RV from animals with compensated and decompensated RV hypertrophy, through a mild and severe pulmonary artery banding (PAB). We also measured passive tension in isolated cardiomyocytes and quantified the expression of myocardial remodelling-associated genes and calcium handling proteins. Chronic rhNRG-1 treatment decreased passive tension development in RV and LV isolated from animals with MCT-induced PAH. This decrease was associated with increased phospholamban phosphorylation, and with attenuation of the expression of cardiac maladaptive remodelling markers. Finally, we showed that rhNRG-1 therapy decreased RV remodelling and cardiomyocyte passive tension development in PAB-induced RV hypertrophy animals, without compromising cardiac function, pointing to cardiac-specific effects in both hypertrophy stages. In conclusion, we demonstrated that rhNRG-1 treatment decreased RV intrinsic diastolic stiffness, through the improvement of calcium handling and cardiac remodelling signalling.

Abstract
Abstract
Aims
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a devastating disease and treatment options are limited. Urocortin-2 (Ucn-2) has shown promising therapeutic effects in experimental and clinical left ventricular heart failure (HF). Our aim was to analyse the expression of Ucn-2 in human and experimental PAH, and to investigate the effects of human Ucn-2 (hUcn-2) administration in rats with monocrotaline (MCT)-induced pulmonary hypertension (PH).
Methods and results
Tissue samples were collected from patients with and without PAH and from rats with MCT-induced PH. hUcn-2 (5 μg/kg, bi-daily, i.p., for 10 days) or vehicle was administered to male wistar rats subjected to MCT injection or to pulmonary artery banding (PAB) to induce right ventricular (RV) overload without PAH. Expression of Ucn-2 and its receptor was increased in the RV of patients and rats with PAH. hUcn-2 treatment reduced PAH in MCT rats, resulting in decreased morbidity, improved exercise capacity and attenuated pulmonary arterial and RV remodelling and dysfunction. Additionally, RV gene expression of hypertrophy and failure signalling pathways were attenuated. hUcn-2 treatment also attenuated PAB-induced RV hypertrophy.
Conclusions
Ucn-2 levels are altered in human and experimental PAH. hUcn-2 treatment attenuates PAH and RV dysfunction in MCT-induced PH, has direct anti-remodelling effects on the pressure-overloaded RV, and improves pulmonary vascular function.

Abstract
Pulmonary arterial hypertension is a progressive syndrome based on diverse aetiologies, which is characterized by a persistent increase in pulmonary vascular resistance and overload of the right ventricle, leading to heart failure and death. Currently, none of the available treatments is able to cure pulmonary arterial hypertension; additional research is therefore needed to unravel the associated pathophysiological mechanisms. This review summarizes current knowledge related to this disorder, and the several experimental animal models that can mimic pulmonary arterial hypertension and are available for translational research.

Abstract
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), the most serious chronic disorder of the pulmonary circulation, is characterized by pulmonary vasoconstriction and remodeling, resulting in increased afterload on the right ventricle (RV). In fact, RV function is the main determinant of prognosis in PAH. The most frequently used experimental models of PAH include monocrotaline- and chronic hypoxia-induced PAH, which primarily affect the pulmonary circulation. Alternatively, pulmonary artery banding (PAB) can be performed to achieve RV overload without affecting the pulmonary vasculature, allowing researchers to determine the RV-specific effects of their drugs/interventions. In this work, using two different degrees of pulmonary artery constriction, we characterize, in full detail, PAB-induced adaptive and maladaptive remodeling of the RV at 3 wk after PAB surgery. Our results show that application of a mild constriction resulted in adaptive hypertrophy of the RV, with preserved systolic and diastolic function, while application of a severe constriction resulted in maladaptive hypertrophy, with chamber dilation and systolic and diastolic dysfunction up to the isolated cardiomyocyte level. By applying two different degrees of constriction, we describe, for the first time, a reliable and short-duration PAB model in which RV adaptation can be distinguished at 3 wk after surgery. We characterize, in full detail, structural and functional changes of the RV in its response to moderate and severe constriction, allowing researchers to better study RV physiology and transition to dysfunction and failure, as well as to determine the effects of new therapies.

Abstract
AIMS Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a serious disease that affects both the pulmonary vasculature and the right ventricle (RV). Current treatment options are insufficient. The cardiac neuregulin (NRG)-1/ErbB system is deregulated during heart failure, and treatment with recombinant human NRG-1 (rhNRG-1) has been shown to be beneficial in animal models and in patients with left ventricular (LV) dysfunction. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of rhNRG-1 in RV function and pulmonary vasculature in monocrotaline (MCT)-induced PAH and RV hypertrophy (RVH). METHODS AND RESULTS Male wistar rats (7- to 8-weeks old, n = 78) were injected with MCT (60 mg/kg, s.c.) or saline and treated with rhNRG-1 (40 µg/kg/day) or vehicle for 1 week, starting 2 weeks after MCT administration. Another set of animals was submitted to pulmonary artery banding (PAB) or sham surgery, and followed the same protocol. MCT administration resulted in the development of PAH, pulmonary arterial and RV remodelling, and dysfunction, and increased RV markers of cardiac damage. Treatment with rhNRG-1 attenuated RVH, improved RV function, and decreased RV expression of disease markers. Moreover, rhNRG-1 decreased pulmonary vascular remodelling and attenuated MCT-induced endothelial dysfunction. The anti-remodelling effects of rhNRG-1 were confirmed in the PAB model, where rhNRG-1 treatment was able to attenuate PAB-induced RVH. CONCLUSION rhNRG-1 treatment attenuates pulmonary arterial and RV remodelling, and dysfunction in a rat model of MCT-induced PAH and has direct anti-remodelling effects on the pressure-overloaded RV.

Abstract
The family of Neuregulins (NRG), growth factors like epidermal growth factor, is known to induce growth and differentiation of epithelial, glial, neuronal, and skeletal muscle cells. This family comprises four members, being NRG1 the most largely studied, particularly at the cardiovascular level. The biological effects of NRG1 in the adult heart are mediated by the tyrosine kinase receptors ErbB. In the adult heart, NRG1 is expressed by cells of the endocardial endothelium and the cardiac microvascular endothelium, and the receptors ErbB2/ErbB4 are expressed by ventricular cardiomyocytes and are located in T-tubule system and intercalated disks in close proximity to the system components of excitation-contraction coupling. The importance of the NRG/ErbB signaling axis at the cardiovascular level became evident after discovering that patients treated with trastuzumab (inhibitory antibody against ErbB2, used in the treatment of breast cancer) can develop ventricular dysfunction and have higher risk of cardiomyopathy when co-administered with anthracyclines. Subsequent studies in vitro and in vivo have clarified the effects and the respective signaling pathways associated with the NRG/ErbB system in the adult heart. Some cardiovascular functions of the NRG1/ErbB system have been described at the vascular (stimulation of angiogenesis and ateroprotector effect) and myocardium level (negative inotropic effect) as well as effect on the survival, cell growth and organization of the cardiomyocytes (myofibrillar organization and cell-to-cell contact between cardiomyocytes). Furthermore, the interaction of this system with other neurohumoral mediators has been studied. Thus, there seems to be a physiological role in modulating the sympathovagal balance and an interaction with endothelin-1 signaling. All these effects result from the activation of different intracellular signaling cascades, as a consequence of the binding of NRG1 to ErbB receptors. Some cardiac signaling pathways identified until now include molecules such as MEK / Erk 1/2, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/ Akt, focal adhesion kinase, Gab (Grb-2-associated binder) family, vascular endothelial growth factor and NO production by endothelial nitric oxide synthase. Thus, the aim of this paper was to make an up-to-date review of existing information on NRG1/ErbB signaling axis, with particular focus on its cardiovascular effects.
