Sexually dimorphic role of estrogen receptor α in preserving right ventricular endothelial integrity

Jiajun Li, Vijaya Karoor, Andrea L. Frump, Hanqiu Zhao, Shu Ying Liang, Chen-Shan Chen Woodcock, Irina Petrache, Zhiyu Dai, Tim Lahm

This study shows estrogen receptor α protects female RV endothelial cells from apoptosis and supports angiogenesis in pulmonary hypertension, revealing a sex-specific role in RV function.

LOSS OF ROR2 TYROSINE KINASE RECEPTOR IS ASSOCIATED WITH ENDOTHELIAL DYSFUNCTION IN PAH VIA INAPPROPRIATE INTEGRIN BETA 1 ACTIVATION

Ankita Mitra, Stuti Agarwal, Ananya Chakraborty, Brian L. Zhong, Lyong Heo, Arpita Roy, Anuradha Bankar, Amanda Pacheco, Natasha Auer, Alexander R. Dunn, Prakash Chelladurai, Ananya Jain, Juan Andrés Matos Muñoz, Eleana Stephanie Guardado, Dan Yi, , Vinicio de Jesús Pérez

This study shows that loss of ROR2 leads to endothelial dysfunction in PAH through inappropriate integrin beta 1 activation, impairing barrier integrity and angiogenesis.
