Abstract

Familial pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is associated with mutations in bone morphogenetic protein type II receptor (BMPR2). Many of these mutations occur in the BMPR2 tail domain, leaving the SMAD functions intact. To determine the in vivo consequences of BMPR2 tail domain mutation, we created a smooth muscle-specific doxycycline-inducible BMPR2 mutation with an arginine to termination mutation at amino acid 899. When these SM22-rtTA x TetO(7)-BMPR2(R899X) mice had transgene induced for 9 wk, starting at 4 wk of age, they universally developed pulmonary vascular pruning as assessed by fluorescent microangiography. Approximately one-third of the time, the induced animals developed elevated right ventricular systolic pressures (RVSP), associated with extensive pruning, muscularization of small pulmonary vessels, and development of large structural pulmonary vascular changes. These lesions included large numbers of macrophages and T cells in their adventitial compartment as well as CD133-positive cells in the lumen. Small vessels filled with CD45-positive and sometimes CD3-positive cells were a common feature in all SM22-rtTA x TetO(7)-BMPR2(R899X) mice. Gene array experiments show changes in stress response, muscle organi...Continue Reading
