Abstract
En 中文
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a progressive cardiopulmonary disorder marked by pulmonary vascular remodelling and vessel loss, paradoxically occurring despite high VEGF signaling. While VEGF/VEGFR pathways are implicated in disease pathogenesis, their role in endothelial and immune cell crosstalk remains poorly understood. Placental growth factor (PlGF), a VEGF family member that selectively binds VEGFR-1, exerts pro-inflammatory effects in other pathological contexts, but its contribution to PAH pathophysiology is unclear. This study explored the contribution of PlGF to endothelial activation and immune-mediated vascular remodelling in PAH.
