AIMS: Hypoxic conditions stimulate pulmonary vasoconstriction and vascular
remodelling, both pathognomonic changes in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH).
The secreted protein thrombospondin-1 (TSP1) is involved in the maintenance of
lung homeostasis. New work identified a role for TSP1 in promoting PAH.
Nonetheless, it is largely unknown how hypoxia regulates TSP1 in the lung and
whether this contributes to pathological events during PAH. METHODS AND RESULTS:
In cell and animal experiments, we found that hypoxia induces TSP1 in lungs,
pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells and endothelial cells, and pulmonary
fibroblasts. Using a murine model of constitutive hypoxia, gene silencing, and
luciferase reporter experiments, we found that hypoxia-mediated induction of
pulmonary TSP1 is a hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-2?-dependent process.
Additionally, hypoxic tsp1(-/-) pulmonary fibroblasts and pulmonary artery smooth
muscle cell displayed decreased migration compared with wild-type (WT) cells.
Furthermore, hypoxia-mediated induction of TSP1 destabilized endothelial
cell-cell interactions. This provides genetic evidence that TSP1 contributes to
vascular remodelling during PAH. Expanding cell data to whole tissues, we found
that, under hypoxia, pulmonary arteries (PAs) from WT mice had significantly
decreased sensitivity to acetylcholine (Ach)-stimulated endothelial-dependent
vasodilation. In contrast, hypoxic tsp1(-/-) PAs retained sensitivity to Ach,
mediated in part by TSP1 regulation of pulmonary Kv channels. Translating these
preclinical studies, we find in the lungs from individuals with end-stage PAH,
both TSP1 and HIF-2? protein expression increased in the pulmonary vasculature
compared with non-PAH controls. CONCLUSIONS: These findings demonstrate that
HIF-2? is clearly implicated in the TSP1 pulmonary regulation and provide new
insights on its contribution to PAH-driven vascular remodelling and
vasoconstriction.
