    Abstract Angiogenesis is an essential process by which new blood vessels develop from existing ones. While adequate angiogenesis is a physiological process during, for example, tissue repair, insufficient and excessive angiogenesis stands on the pathological side. Fine balance between pro- and anti-angiogenic factors in the tissue environment regulates angiogenesis. Identification of these factors and how they function is a pressing topic to develop angiogenesis-targeted therapeutics. During the last decade, exciting data highlighted non-metabolic functions of intermediates of the mitochondrial Krebs cycle including succinate. Among these functions is the contribution of succinate to angiogenesis in various contexts and through different mechanisms. As the concept of targeting metabolism to treat a wide range of diseases is rising, in this review we summarize the mechanisms by which succinate regulates angiogenesis in normal and pathological settings. Gaining a comprehensive insight into how this metabolite functions as an angiogenic signal will provide a useful approach to understand diseases with aberrant or excessive angiogenic background, and may provide strategies to tackle them.

    Abstract The voltage-independent background two-pore domain K(+) channel TASK-1 sets the resting membrane potential in excitable cells and renders these cells sensitive to a variety of vasoactive factors. There is clear evidence for TASK-1 in human pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells and TASK-1 channels are likely to regulate the pulmonary vascular tone through their regulation by hypoxia, pH, inhaled anesthetics, and G protein-coupled pathways. Furthermore, TASK-1 is a strong candidate to play a role in hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction. On the other hand, consistent with the activation of TASK-1 channels by volatile anesthetics, TASK-1 contributes to the anesthetic-induced pulmonary vasodilation. TASK-1 channels are unique among K(+) channels because they are regulated by both, increases and decreases from physiological pH, thus contributing to their protective effect on the pulmonary arteries. Moreover, TASK-1 may also have a critical role in mediating the vasoactive response of G protein-coupled pathways in resistance arteries which can offer promising therapeutic solutions to target diseases of the pulmonary circulation.

    Abstract COPD is a heterogeneous disease with multiple clinical phenotypes. COPD endotypes can be determined by different expressions of hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs), which, in combination with individual susceptibility and environmental factors, may cause predominant airway or vascular changes in the lung. The pulmonary vascular phenotype is relatively rare among COPD patients and characterised by out-of-proportion pulmonary hypertension (PH) and low diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide, but only mild-to-moderate airway obstruction. Its histologic feature, severe remodelling of the small pulmonary arteries, can be mediated by HIF-2 overexpression in experimental PH models. HIF-2 is not only involved in the vascular remodelling but also in the parenchyma destruction. Endothelial cells from human emphysema lungs express reduced HIF-2α levels, and the deletion of pulmonary endothelial

    Abstract Background: In patients with end-stage chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), severe pulmonary hypertension (PH) is frequently associated with less severe airway obstruction as compared to mild or no PH. However, the histologic correlate of this finding is not clear. We aimed to quantify remodeling of pulmonary arteries, airways, and parenchyma in random samples of explanted end-stage COPD lungs.
    Methods: We quantified remodeling of small pulmonary arteries, small airways, and the degree of emphysema (mean interseptal distance [MID]) with dedicated software. As primary objective, we compared COPD patients with severe PH (SevPH-COPD) with age- and sex-matched MildPH-COPD. For comparison, we also investigated COPD lungs with no PH (NoPH-COPD), idiopathic PAH (IPAH), and healthy donors.
    Results: We included n = 17 SevPH-COPD (mPAP = 43 [39-45]mm Hg), n = 17 MildPH-COPD (mPAP = 28 [24-31]mm Hg), n = 5 NoPH-COPD (mPAP = 18 [16-19]mm Hg), n = 10 IPAH (mPAP = 72 [65-91]mm Hg), and n = 10 healthy donor lungs. SevPH-COPD versus MildPH-COPD was characterized by better preserved forced vital capacity (51% vs 40% predicted, p < 0.05), less emphysema (MID 169 µm vs 279 µm, p < 0.001), and less PAS-positive and CD45-positive mucosa cells (15% vs 22%, p = 0.063% and 5% vs 7%, p = 0.058) suggesting less airway inflammation. In COPD patients, intimal and medial thickening were strongly correlated with mPAP (r = 0.676, p < 0.001 and r = 0.595, p < 0.001). MID was negatively correlated with mPAP (r = -0.556, p < 0.001) and was highest in NoPH-COPD (mean 281 µm), suggesting that emphysema per se is not associated with PH.
    Conclusions: End-stage COPD with severe PH is characterized by pronounced pulmonary vascular remodeling, less inflammation of small airways, and less emphysema as compared to COPD with mild PH or no PH, suggesting that COPD with severe PH may represent a unique phenotype of COPD.

    Abstract Potassium ion concentrations, controlled by ion pumps and potassium channels, predominantly govern a cell's membrane potential and the tone in the vessels. Calcium-activated potassium channels respond to two different stimuli-changes in voltage and/or changes in intracellular free calcium. Large conductance calcium-activated potassium (BKCa) channels assemble from pore forming and various modulatory and auxiliary subunits. They are of vital significance due to their very high unitary conductance and hence their ability to rapidly cause extreme changes in the membrane potential. The pathophysiology of lung diseases in general and pulmonary hypertension, in particular, show the implication of either decreased expression and partial inactivation of BKCa channel and its subunits or mutations in the genes encoding different subunits of the channel. Signaling molecules, circulating humoral molecules, vasorelaxant agents, etc., have an influence on the open probability of the channel in pulmonary arterial vascular cells. BKCa channel is a possible therapeutic target, aimed to cause vasodilation in constricted or chronically stiffened vessels, as shown in various animal models. This review is a comprehensive collation of studies on BKCa channels in the pulmonary circulation under hypoxia (hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction; HPV), lung pathology, and fetal to neonatal transition, emphasising pharmacological interventions as viable therapeutic options.

    Abstract The transition from the fetal to the neonatal circulation includes dilatation of the pulmonary arteries (PA) and closure of the Ductus Arteriosus Botalli (DAB). The resting membrane potential and various potassium channel activities in smooth muscle cells (SMC) from fetal and neonatal PA and DAB obtained from the same species has not been systematically analyzed. The key issue addressed in this paper is how the resting membrane potential and the whole-cell potassium current (IK) change when PASMC or DABSMC are transitioned from hypoxia, reflecting the fetal state, to normoxia, reflecting the post-partal state. Patch-clamp measurements were employed to characterize whole-cell K
